BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 355 



Mr. Swinhoe at Amoy in April 1861. This specimen has the wing 

 2 - 35 and the wing bars very little developed : one of our females 

 has the wing 2*6, and in this also the wing bars are very im- 

 perfectly developed. Another female has the wing only 2*33, but 

 the wing bars pretty well developed. In this specimen the head 

 is rather darker than the back ; another specimen, not sexed, has 

 the wing 2*6, and both wing bars very strongly marked ; in this 

 specimen the fourth quill is the longest, the third and fifth equal 

 and a shade shorter, the second intermediate between the sixth 

 and seventh, and this is the arrangement of the quills in the female 

 first referred to, which may possibly have been missexed, and 

 this again is the arrangement of the quills in the second female. 

 In Mr. Swinhoe's bird the third and fourth are longest, and the 

 fifth is a shade shorter, but even in this the second is intermediate 

 between the sixth and seventh and not between seventh and eighth. 

 This also was the case with Mr. Swinhoe's other specimens 

 which Mr. Brooks examined, (see Brooks' very excellent remarks 

 on this species, S. F., IV., 276) so that I think Mr. Seebohm is in 

 error in giving the second primary as intermediate between the 

 seventh and eighth. I unfortunately let all my other specimens 

 go without looking to this point. 



558.— Phylloscopus lugubris, Blyth. (3). 



Pahpoon ; Salween It. ; Wimpong. 



Apparently confined to the northern half of the province. 



558 bis. — Phylloscopus plumbeitarsus, Stcinh. 



Mr. Seebohm, in his monograph of the Phylloscopi, Ibis, 

 1877, p. 77, mentions a specimen of this species obtained by 

 Captain Beavan at Moulmein in September 1865. 



We have not yet procured it in Tenasserim, and as it has 

 not yet been described in Stray Feathers, I cannot do better 

 than transcribe Mr. Seebohm's admirable description, merely 

 noting that in all his descriptions Mr. Seebohm uses the word 

 " dashed, " whereas in my descriptions I use the word "suffused." 



" Bill large ; under-mandible pale. 



u Upper parts greyish brown, dashed all over, especially on 

 the rump, with yellowish green ; Aviugs and tail greyish brown, 

 with the outside edge of each feather broadly margined with 

 yellowish green ; pale greenish wdiite superciliary streak, very 

 sharply defined, and extending to the nape. 



fl Head, same color as the back. 



" Under parts nearly white, slightly dashed with yellow and 

 grey on the breast and flanks ; axillaries, wing lining, and 

 thighs pale yellow.
