much less rufous, brown. The abdomen is only slightly tinged 

 with rufous and is markedly paler than that of A. nipalensis. 

 The wing- and bill-measurements are both slightly longer 

 than those of A. nipalensis and A. neglecta. 



I shot several specimens of this Wren at Khamba Jong 

 during the autumn. They occurred there during very cold 

 weather, when all the streams were frozen hard, except one 

 that was supplied by a clear warm spring.

This is by far the most common Leaf-Warbler in S. Tibet. 

 It remained at Khamba Jong up to about the end of the third 

 week in October ; it was quite common there in a sheltered 

 but treeless valley behind the Jong, where it frequented a 

 thick cluster of nettles. It reappeared at Gyantse at the 

 end of April, and remained throughout the summer, being 

 especially numerous at Lhasa in August.
