by reason of the longer first primary and general tone of colora- 

 tion. I believe that A. xanthodryas is commoner than is sup- 

 posed, but this is a difficult fact to prove, since the two forms are 

 so much alike and both keep to the upper foliage of the forest.

I have two examples of this little bush warbler from Baguio, 

 Mountain Province, Luzon, which were collected on May 12, 1914. 

 The first one gave me considerable trouble to collect. I could 

 hear it singing its "o-o-o-o I-see-you-a-seet!" only a few yards 

 away in the low bush and grasses and could likewise hear its 

 sharp "chip" as it moved about near the ground, but it was fully 

 fifteen minutes that I strained my eyes before I finally saw the 

 skulking songster and secured it. The second one was obtained 

 only a few minutes afterward. (No. 1005, female; No. 1006, 

 male.)
