The Yellow-browed Willow-Warbler is abundant on migra- 

 tion. I have observed it from the 11th of April to the 25th 

 o£ May. It appears at the end of August with the other 

 Willow- Warblers, but the majority arrive in September, and 

 migration la'^ts until the end of October. 'V\\e earliest date 

 on which I have seen it on the autumn passage was the 

 19th of August, 1913, and the latest date was the 30th of 

 October, 1914. This Willow-Warbler was common at 

 Newchwang in May and at the end of August 1889.

Pallas's Willow-\A arbler is a common migrant in the 

 district. It occurs from the first week in April to early 

 in the latter half of May, and from about the 22nd of 

 September to the end of October. Rushes of this little 

 bird occur in early spring and in October, when they niay be 

 seen swarming everywhere and even occasionally penetrate 

 into houses. 



I saw this species near Newchwang on the 20th of May, 

 1889.
