(2) Prinia flaviventris sindianus, subsp. nov. 
Similar to Prinia flaviventris flaviventiis, but paler ; less 
intense (‘saturated’) olive-green above especially on the 
rump ; rather paler yellow on belly, flanks, and vent. Bill 
noticeably shorter : 11-12°5 mm. from the base, as against 
13 (seldom), 13°5-14 mm. usually in the typical race. The 
difference in size of the bill is more marked to the eye than 
measurements show. 
Type-locality. Sukkur, Sind. 
Type-specimen. &, Sukker, Sind, 20. 2. 1879, collected by 
Col. Butler ; in British Museum (86. 10. 1. 1568). 
Distribution. Sind (local in Indus Valley and canal area) 
and at Bannu in N.W.F. Province. 
The type of Prinia flaviventris flaviventris is from 
N. Bengal. 
It is not surprising that the Sind birds have segregated 
into a recognisable race, as they are apparently eut off from 
the typical race by the whole of the centre of India. It must 
occur in suitable places in the lower Punjab, whence, 
however, there are no records.

39 is now ready and can be obtained, price £1, from the

very considerable and a serious tax upon the funds of the Club; 
it is hoped therefore that all members will subscribe for a copy, 
without which their series of the ‘Bulletin’ will be incomplete. 
The next Meeting of the Club will be held on Wednes- 
day, the 13th of October, 1920, at PAGANI’S RESTAURANT,
