222 ‘A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 
fication is correct. All I know about this bird is recorded in 
Sek LIL, p13, 
263.—Phylloscopus fuscatus, Bly. (555.) 
Very abundant all over the province. It is a ground 
Warbler, being found in grass and brushwood, and not in trees 
as a rule. 
264.—Phylloscopus borealis, Blas. (556 bis.) 
I have procured a few specimens near Pegu and Kyeik- 
padein. It cannot be called a common bird. It frequents 
mango and other trees infested with minute insects. 
The first primary of this speciesis always very minute, 
varying in length, in seven birds, from *3 to *45 5 and the 
second primary is very constantly intermediate in length 
between the fifth and sixth. In one specimen only was it equal 
to the sixth. It is one of the easiest species to discriminate. 
265.—Phylloscopus schwarzi, Radde. (556 ter.) 
Apparently rare. I procured one specimen at Kyeikpadein 
in the same jungle with Locustella and Tribura. This species 
has been very fully dealt with in various volumes of StRay 
FEATHERS. 
266.— Phylloscopus tenellipes, Swinh. (556 quat.) 
One of the rarer species. I have procured it two or three 
times near Kyeikpadein. 
A male specimen measured :—Leneth, 5°15 ; expanse, 8-2 ; 
tail, 2:0; wing, 2°67 ; tarsus, ‘73 ; bill from gape, °63; upper 
mandible brown ; lower mandible pale fleshy, dusky at tip; legs 
and claws pale flesh colour ; iris brown; the second quill is 
intermediate between the sixth and seventh. The peculiar tint of 
buff on the plumage is alone sufficient for the identification 
of this species. 
267.—Phylloscopus lugubris, Bly. (558.) 
One of the commonest species. Appears to be generally 
distributed throuchout Southern Peeu. It abounds round 
Kyeikpadein, and Dr. Armstrong got it at Elephant Point. 
268.—Phylloscopus plumbeitarsus, (558 bis.) 
This is a very common species round Pegu and Kyeikpadein, 
from September to April. It is strictly arboreal in its habits, 
and I have never found it near the ground. 
I do not know how the species ever could have got con- 
founded with viridanus. Comparing 29 specimens of the latter
