398 RECENTLY-DESCRIBED SPECIES. 



dark shafting is subdued ; tail dark umber, the two centre 

 feathers margined rufous brown ; viewed from below tipped 

 whitish, with subterminal dark spots ; white on chin, throat, 

 and centre of abdomen, rufescent on breast and flanks. Pale 

 round eye. 



Bill black above, pale beneath ; legs fleshy brown. 



Length, 4-25; wing, 2*0 ; tail, 1*65; tarsus, 076; bill 

 at front, 0-40. 



I obtained four specimens of this species on the reedy sides 

 of the Logtak Lake, Munipur Valley. It differs on compari- 

 son with C. schcenicola and melanccephala, (of Anderson which 

 equals and has priority of rujicollis, Walden,) which I also ob- 

 tained, being intermediate in coloration, and may be known at 

 once by the dark edging along the shafts on the centre tail-feathers 

 which in melanocephala are wholly dark, and in schcenicola are 

 banded broadly rufous, terminating in black and white. It 

 is very near C. russica, Wall., from the Island of Bou- 

 roo, Malay Archipelago, which is more rufous on the head and 

 breast. 



Reguloides fulvoventer, Godwin- Austen. 



Above, centre of head, light yellow green, bounded on either 

 side by broad dusky bands ; and nape pale greenish ash. Pure 

 ash on back ; upper tail-coverts grass green, as well as the two 

 central tail feathers and outer edge of all the others. The two 

 outermost as viewed from below have a narrow pale yellow 

 edging on outer web ; shoulder of wing ash grey ; coverts ash 

 brown with a narrow white bar ; quills dusky brown, the 

 secondaries well marked with grass green ; a pale yellow 

 supercilium ; ear-coverts pale ; chin very pale yellow ; throat, 

 breast, and abdomen pale pearly white ; under tail-coverts 

 bright yellow. 



Length, about 3*75; wing, 2*0; tail, 1*4; tarsus, 070; 

 bill at front, 0-4. 



Bill above dark brown, below orange ; legs and feet grey. 

 This Warbler is so distinct from any I have been able to look 

 over, that I think it is a distinct species. 1 obtained it when 

 in the low country of the Dunsiri, Assam. 



Munia subundulata, Godwin- Austen. 



Described in P. Z. S. for 1874.

 edo-ed with same yellow tint ; quills pale chesnut on outer web, 

 umber brown on the inner, and indistinctly barred ; sides of 

 head umber-brown, becoming dark chesnut on chin and throat ;
