the Birds of Chinkiang. 117 



The call of this Willow-Warbler, during its stay about 

 Chinkiang, is a loud and sharp " tsic-tsic." 



31. Phylloscopus tenellipes Swinhoe. 



This Warbler is apparently common during May. It 

 frequents the undergrowth on the wooded hills. Only two 

 out of thirteen examples shot between May 3 and 25 were 

 females. The call, according to the collectors, is a loud 

 " tic-tic" 



Pere David found this Willow-Warbler near Kiukiang on 

 July 30, 1868 (Bull. Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, vol. viii. 

 p. 50). 



32. Phylloscopus coronatus (Temm.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 339. 



This Willow-Warbler appears about April 20, and is 

 extremely abundant during May. I have obtained a 

 specimen as late as May 26. The short but pleasant song 

 is constantly heard during that month. 



33. Phylloscopus superciliosus (Gm.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 339. 



Very abundant from about April 20 to May 20. It 

 passes again in September. 



34. Phylloscopus proregulus (Pall.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 339. 



I shot a single specimen one year on November 21, in a 

 wood among the hills ; and another year, on October 24, 

 I saw a number flying about some gardens and copses on 

 the plain. I have not noticed this species in spring. 



35. Cettia canturiens (Swinhoe). 



Cettia canturiens (Sw.) and Cettia minuta (Sw.j, Styan, 

 Ibis, 1891, pp. 340, 341. 



The difference in size between males and females of this 

 Bush-Warbler is considerable, and induced Swinhoe to 

 describe the female under the name of Arundinax minutus 

 (< Ibis,' 1860, p. 52). Owing probably to the want of 

 correctly-sexed specimens, the mistake has stood uncorrected 

 for forty-five years ! As, during all the years that I had
