said to have been placed in a bush about two feet from the 

 ground. The eggs are a pure white and measure '65 x -48. 

 The nest of this species has also been found by Capt. Ven- 

 ning at Haka, in the Chin Hills; his eggs are slightly 

 smaller than mine and average "59 x "46.

Anderson^s Hill Warbler is well distributed in the hills 

 on the eastern side of Burma. I have found it plentiful at 

 Sinlum in the Bhamo district, and at Thandoung in the 

 Toungoo district. It also occurs throughout the Shan 

 States. 



The usual type of nest is that of other members of the 

 family, being a neat oval-shaped structure, made of woven 

 grass, with a little moss in the foundation and on the top. 

 Nests which I found at Thandoung were quite different, and 

 were untidy balls of grass with a hole in the side, very like 

 a miniature Munia^s nest. 



The eggs vary a great deal, there being half a dozen 

 different types with intermediate forms. 



(1) Pale bluish-white, spotted all over with numerous 

 small rufous spots, which are more plentiful at the larger 

 end. 



(2) The same as the above, but the spots confined to the 

 larger end, where they collect into a cap. 



(3 & 4) The same as the above, but with a decided bluish- 

 green ground-colour. 



(5) White ground-colour, with numerous longitudinal 

 rufous stripes. 



(6) As before but on a blue ground. 



(7) A pinkish ground-colour, with a decided zone of a 

 darker shade round the larger end. 



Average of foui'teen eggs = ■63X'49. 

 Largest = '70 x '5. 



Smallest = 60x-49.
