CETTI'S BUSH WARBLER. 



Length, 5'8 to 6'5 ; expanse, 7'5 to 8*4 ; wing, 2*5 to 2*8 ; tail, 

 2'4 to 3 ; tarsus, 0*8 ; bill at front, 0'4 to 0'5. 



Bill dark horny-brown, but paler on lower mandible ; irides 

 brown ; legs and feet pale brown or fleshy-brown. 



A spot in front of the eyes dusky ; a streak from the nostrils over 

 the eye and a circle round the eye fulvous-white ; the forehead, 

 crown, and whole upper surface, a warm rufous or ferruginous- 

 brown, more rufous on the rump and upper tail-coverts ; the 

 ' quills and tail hair-brown, margined with rufescent-olive ; ear- 

 coverts, sides of neck, body, flanks and vent-feathers, a pale dull 

 greyish or earthy-brown ; chin, throat, breast, and abdomen white ; 

 lower tail- co verts slighly rufous-brown (webs very lax and much 

 disunited), narrowly tipped with white ; axillaries and wing-lining 

 slightly greyish white ; the edge of the wing just above the base of 

 the primaries is white ; in some few specimens the eye-streak ex- 

 tends beyond the eye, above more than half of the ear-coverts, but 

 in most it ceases just beyond the posterior angle of the eye. 



Cetti's Bush Warbler was discovered by Mr. Hume in the 

 mangrove swamps in the Kurrachee Harbour. I am not aware 

 of its having been found anywhere else within our limits.

THE STREAKED HEED WARBLER. 



Length, 5*5 ; wing, 2'25 ;tail, 212. 



Bill dusky above, paler beneath ; irides, hazel ; legs fleshy- 

 brown. 



Above pale olive-brown, all the feathers centred dark-brown ; 

 tail uniform brown, tipped pale, especially as seen from below ; 

 beneath white, tinged with earthy-brown on the neck, breast, and 

 flanks; lower tail-coverts fulvescent- white, with narrow longi- 

 tudinal striae. In the spring moult the lower plumage is at 

 first a somewhat rich yellow. 



The Streaked Wren Warbler occurs sparingly as a seasonal 

 visitant in the neighbourhood of Belgaum, Deesa and Mhow, and 

 must occur in other suitable localities. 



It has not been recorded from Sind.
