172 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grrant on Birds 



Less mature specimens of y^. spilodera closely resemble 

 adult examples of y^. s. guttata. 



In quite young examples of y^. spilodera the throat is 

 white and unspotted, the chest very indistinctly marfeed, and 

 the upperparts, including the crown, are brownish-olive 

 tinged with rufous. In older birds as the spotting on the 

 throat makes its appearance the upperparts become of a dark 

 greenish-olive. 



" This little Warbler-Flycatcher was only observed along 

 the foothills or in the mountains, where it was quite common 

 and could always be seen hopping about in the lower herbage 

 and undergrowth, after the manner of a Warbler. It was 

 usually observed singly, and generally at such close quarters 

 that to shoot it was almost impossible. It has a short 

 call-note."— C. H. B. G.
