530 Birds of Celebes: Sylviidae. 



P. pseudohorealis Severtz. The former is distinguisliable by its larger size and 

 first primary of 13- — 15 mm long (in P. borealis only 7 — 11 mm), the latter also 

 by its longer first primary (about 15 mm) and the second quill equal to the 

 seventh, not the sixth (12). 



The habits of P. borealis are described by Prof. Collett (3, VII, 17) and 

 by Godlewski (Tacz. ciZ). 



GENUS CRYPTOLOPHA Sw. 



An xA.frican and Oriental genus of stationary species, much like Phylloscopvs 

 in general appearance, but differing greatly by its short, rounded wing. First 

 primary about '/2 the length of the second, which is about equal to the second- 

 aries; tip of wing formed by the 4"' — 6"". A few scutellations to be made 

 out on the tarsus. Nest domed; eggs white.

This species was found by the Drs. Sarasin and Mr. Everett in October, 

 1895, on the Bonthain mass of mountains at altitudes ranging from 2300 to 

 about 8000 feet. Dr. Sharpe, who places Cryptolojjha among the Muscicapidac, 

 recognised 1(3 species in 1879, and the present bird is the seventh new species 

 added since, the other six being: C. schwaneri and C. montis Sharpe from Kini 

 Balu vibis 1887, 442; 1889, pi. VIH), C. davisoni Sharpe from Perak (P. Z. S.
