197.-— Acrocephalus dumetorum, Blyth. (516). 



Manbhum ; Loliardugga ; Sinshbhuin ; Bilaspur ; Godaveri Valley. [Raipur ; 

 Sambalpur, north and south of Mahanadi. — A. O. H.] 



[405.— Acrocephalus agricolus, Jerd. (517). 



Eaipur.— A. O. H.] 



198.— Orthotomus sutorius, Forst. (530). 



Bardwan ; Manbhum ; Lohardugga ; Sambalpur, north of Mahanadi ; Goda- 

 veri Valley. [Raipur. — A. O. H.] 



199.— Prinia socialist Sykes. (534). 



Lohardugga ; Godaveri Valley. 



Measurements of two specimens in my collection. 



Lohardugga $. — Wing, 2*; tail, 2*9 ; bill from gape, 5*75. 



Satpura Bills. — Wing, 2 • tail, 2*8 • bill from gape, 6. 



Both the above have a strongly marked superciliary white 

 linef which extends from behind the nostril to the hind angle of 

 the eye. A specimen of what I take to be stewarti from 

 Etawah has no sign of this line. This last has the tail only 

 2-4, though, according to Jerdon, stewarti should have the 

 longer tail. 



200. — Prinia gracilis,! FranM. (536). 



Midnapur ; Hazaribagh ; Lohardugga ; Singhbhum ; Godaveri Valley. 

 [Sambalpur, north and south of Mahanadi ; Raipur. — A. O. H.] 



201.— Prinia hodgsoni, Blyth. (538). 



Hazaribagh; Lohardugga ; Sambalpur, north of Mahandi. [Raipur. — -A. O. H.] 



202.— Cisticola cursitans, Franhl. (539). 



Bardwan ; Lohardugga ; Sambalpur, north of Mahanadi ; Godaveri Valley. 



203.~-Drymoica inornata, Sykes. (543). 



Bardwan ; Lohardugga ; Orissa, north [and south. — A. O. H.] of Mahanadi ; 

 Godaveri Valley. [Raipur. — A. O. H.] 



[406.— Drymoica rufescens, Hume. (544 bis). 



Raipur ; Sambalpur, entire district. — A. O. H.] 



[407. — Drymoica insignis, Hume. (545 bis). 



Raipur ; Sambalpur, entire district. 



* I expect these birds are stewarti, if the two races, which differ only in size 

 are to be accepted as distinct. — A. O. H. 



f This question of the supercilium is fully discussed, S. F., IV., 497. q. v. — A. O. H. 



j Mr, Brooks is inclined to believe that this is only the breeding plumage of P. 

 hodgsoni., I will discuss all these ZPrinias and Drymoipi fully next year. — A. O. H.
