The Rufous-fronted Wren-Wavrbler is fairly common anda 
‘permanent resident. It frequents very much the same localities 
as the last species, especially low thorn and scrub jungle. It 
makes an oblong loosely-constructed nest with the aperture near 
the top, and lays three or four white eggs, minutely spotted 
with dingy red. Average measurement of four eggs, 0:60 by 
0:46 inches. * 
554.—Phylloscopus tristis, Bly. 
The Brown Tree-Warbler is common during the cold weather 
in trees and jungle on the banks of the Chowka at Byramghat, 
and on the Goomti about Lucknow, especially in a large tope 
of young babool trees belonging to the Horticultural Gardens. 
I have also seen it frequenting mangoe topes. 
559.—Phylloscopus nitidus, Bly. 
The Bright-green Tree-Warbler is only, I think, a cold 
weather visitor, though I have shot it early in September, and 
as late as the end of April. It frequents mangoe topes, and is 
fairly abundant in the babool fences along the railway. 
565 bis.—Reguloides humii, Brooks. 
Hume’s Crowned Tree-Warbler is certainly fairly common in 
the mangoe groves about Lucknow and elsewhere during the 
cold weather. On the 11th October I shot two specimens, 
and saw many more in the same tope, and have seen it often 
since. ) 
582.—Sylvia affinis, Bly. 
The Allied White-Throat is very generally spread over the 
Division during the cold weather ; but I have never seen it 
‘anywhere so numerous as itis in the babool trees along the 
Goomti and the railway. In the tall dhak and thorn jungles 
‘about Rahimabad it is also pretty common; but. it never, I 
think, except by chance, enters mangoe topes. . 
589. —Motacilla maderaspatensis, Tem. Native 
name—Khanjan. 
The Large Pied Wagtail is a permanent resident, but common 
only, I think, on rivers and streams. -On the Goomti, where
