Genus HORORNIS. 

 164. HORORNIS PALLIDUS. 



Horornis pallidus (Brooks) ; Gates, Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, i. p. 436 (1889). 

 Cettia fortipes (Hodgs.) ; Seebohm, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. v. p. 136 (1881, pt.). 



No. 155. Urumbu, July 24, 1873 {Colonel Biddulph). 

 Nos. 288, 294, 296. Gaganghir, August 9, 1873. 



In his ' Diary,' Dr. Stoliczka notes that lie found this species plentiful at Gond, but difficult 

 to procure ; he shot several specimens at Gaganghir ; he says that it " sits near the tops of 

 trees in the morning." He adds : — " No H. pallidas is seen from a little above Gagan- 

 ghir. Its whistle is very peculiar and loud for the size of the bird." 



Genus CETTIA. 



165. Cettia orientalis. (Plate XI.) 



Cettia orientalis, Tristr. Ibis, 1867, p. 79. 



Cettia albiventrisj Severtz. Turkest. Jevotn. pp. QQ, 131 (1873). 



Cettia scalenura, Severtz. Turkest. Jevotn. pp. QQ, 131 (1873). 



Bradyptetes cetti (nee Marm.) ; Blanf. East. Persia, ii. p. 200 (1876). 



Cettia cetti (nee Marm.) ; Seebohm, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. v. p. 135 (1881) -, C. Swinh. Ibis, 1882, p. 108 ; 



Scully, J. A. S. Beng. Ivi. p. 81 (1887). 

 Cettia orientalis, Tristr. ; Gates, Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds^ i. p. 441 (1889). 



No. 998. Yarkand, November 11, 1873. — Length 6*3 inches, wing 2-75, tail 2*8, tarsus 0*9 ; 



expanse 8*15 ; bill from front 0*44, from gape 0*66. Iris brown ; bill horny brown, 



lower mandible fleshy brown ; feet whitish fleshy. 

 No. 1088. Yarkand, November 28, 1873. 



Mr. Seebohm has united this species to the Cettia cetti of Europe, but it is undoubtedly 

 a paler race, though probably only subspecifically separable. I follow Mr. Gates in keeping 

 it distinct from the true C. cetti. 



Genus SUYA. 

 166. SUYA CRINIGEEA. 



Suya crinigera, Hodgs. ; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vii. p. 177 (1883) ; Gates, Faun. Brit. Ind., Bh^ds, 

 i. p. 444 (1889). 



Colonel Biddulph obtained this species at Dhunna, three marches east of Murree, on the 

 5th of August, and again at Chikar on the 7th of the same month. 



Genus RHOPOPHILUS. 



167. Ehopophilus albosuperciliaris. 



Suya albosuperciliaris, Hume; Hume & Henders. Lahore to Yark. p. 218, pi. xviii. (1873) ; Scully, Str. F. 

 iv. p. 147 (1876).
