DALMATIAN REGULUS. 



357 



Mr. Hancock has stated to Mr. Selby, that the covering 

 of the nostrils in his specimen consists of various feathers, 

 and not of a single plumulet as in the other Reguli. On 

 this account Mr. Blyth, who has found the Dalmatian 

 Regains in the vicinity of Calcutta, and sent two specimens 

 to the British Museum, has proposed for it the new generic 

 term Phylloscopus. B. H. Hodgson, Esq., includes this 

 species in his catalogue of the Birds of Nepal.
