AND IN PARTS OF WYNAAD AND SOUTHERN MYSORE. 393° 
543.—Drymeeca inornata, Sykes. The Earth-brown 
Warbler. 
I have entered the Wren Warbler found on the Nilghiris, its 
slopes, the Wynaad, the Mysore country, &c., under the above 
name. Imay, however, have confounded two species, D. longicau- 
data* and the above. However, if the two are distinct species, 
they certainly do not differ in habits. D. tnornata is found 
from the plateau of the Nilghiris all down the slopes, in the Wy- 
naad and Mysore, frequenting by preference the long elephant 
grass, but found also in scrub jungle. Jerdon has given a very 
good description of the habits of the species (B. of I, Vol. IL., p 
179). | 
553.—Hypolais rama, Sykes. Sykes’ Warbler. 
We have a specimen of this in our museums, a female, procured 
by Miss Cockburn, at Kotagherry, on the 14th October 1874. °° 
The measurements of this, as recorded by Miss Cockburn, are 
as follows :— 
Length, 5°5; expanse, 7:0; tail, 2-0; weight, 2 drs. 
Legs and feet light grey; bill brown above, light beneath ; 
irides greyish. 
556.—Phylloscopus magnirostris, Bly. The Large-' 
billed Tree Warbler. 
I shot a female of this species in some undergrowth near 
Manantoddy on the 18th of May 1881. I have compared it 
very carefully with our large series, and find it is undoubtedly, 
of this species. 
559.—Phylloscopus nitidus, Bly. The Bright-Green, 
‘Tree Warbler. 
T procured a specimen of this species at Manantoddy on the 
10th of April 1881; it was a male. I saw several others during 
the trip. 
560.—Phylloscopus viridanus, Bly. The Greenish. 
Tree Warbler. 
This is the common Phylloscopus of the Nilghiris, Wynaad, 
&e. They come in early, and I have shot it in Wynaad as late 
as the 4th of April. 
* But D. longicaudata is certainly merely the winter plumage of D. inornata.—
