ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES AND CORRECTIONS. 277 
brown. There is a_ buff-colored wing bar and __ indica- 
tions of a second one. Supercilicum reddish white inclined to 
yellow anteriorly. A very dark band through the eye: cheeks 
mottled with brown; lower parts white, washed with brownish 
on sides of breast and flanks. Bull rather short and stout, legs 
and feet very pale, as in Horornis. The second primary is equal 
to seventh, or between sixth and seventh. 
Phylloscopus umbrovirens, Lipp. 
Is a remarkable species. Head ruddy brown, wings very 
green; tail greenish; no wing bars; bill rather stout; a warm 
brownish supercilium ; from chin to breast light rufous brown 
or brownish buff, becoming paler lower down towards tail 
coverts. 
Phylloscopus Schwarzii, Radde, 
I am afraid that my namesake, P. Brooxst, Hume, belongs 
to this species.* Comparing my colored sketch of the type, 
the only difference I can perceive is the slightly longer bill. 
Dimensions of two examples were : — 
Wing. Tail. Billat front. Bill from nostril. Bill from gape.

131. I have given a few particulars of Phylloscopi that are 
not Indian to facilitate identification ; if any of them happen to 
turn up in India, which is not at all unlikely as regards the 
three Chinese species. 
582.—Curruca affinis, Blyth. 
The distinctions I have pointed out (“ Stray Fearuers,” 
1875, p. 272) hold good, and the Indian bird is quite distinct 
from its European congener. 
582 dis.—Curruca cinerea, Latham. 
Mr. Hume shewed me examples killed in the west of India. 
* T am inclined to doubt this identification; Schwarzii is very carefully figured by 
Radde “ Reisen im sudén von ost Sibirien.’” Table 9. 
Neither of the two figures shew any supercilium, whereas this is very large and con- 
spicuous in Brooksi extending tothe nape. The shape of the first quill is different, 
and the bill of Brooks appears to be not only shorter, but not nearly so broad ; however, 
Mr. Brooks may be correct, but I had fully considered Schwarzii when I described 
Brooksi.—Ep., 8. F.
