No. 362. LocusTELLA STRAMINEA. Turkestau Grasshopper- 
Warbler. 
According to the late Mr. George Beid^ this Warbler 
frequents the grass and tamarisk -jungle o£ the Gogra near 
Byramgbat, and similar low-lying grass-land on the banks of 
the Ganges_, Goomti^ and Sail, but is numerically rare and 
difficult to procure. 
Mr. Beid writes : — " The only specimen I have, I captured 
alive after a good deal of trouble in trying to get a fairly 
distant shot at it. I had already blown two to pieces, when 
I saw the bird suddenly sneak into a small patch of ' doob ' 
grass, and rushing up I caught it between the rooting 
runners of the grass and the ground, so tightly squeezed in 
that I had some difficulty in getting it out.'^ 
No. 363. ■^AcRocEPHALUs sTENTOREus. Indian Great 
Reed-Warbler. 
Evidently not uncommon in the jheel district near Ajgaen, 
whence the Museum collector has obtained several specimens. 
Not improbably it has been overlooked. I think that it 
departs after the cold weather, but I am not sure.
