PHYLLOSCOPINJE. 193 



This species is also spread throughout India. I procured it in 

 the JSTeilgherries, in the Wynaad, and also at Nellore ; and it is 

 common near Calcutta, and in Nepal and Sikhirn.

Muscicapa, apud Latham, and Franklin — Blyth, J. A. S., 

 XII., 965 — Blyth, Cat. 1100— Sylvia hippolais, Jerdon, Cat. 126 

 (in part) — Hippolais Swainsoni, Hodgson — probably S. sibilatrix 



of ROYLE. 



The Bright-green Tree-Warbler. 



Descr. — Above lively green, below unsullied pale yellowish, 

 brightest about the breast ; a pale wing-band formed by the tips 

 of the larger coverts of the secondaries. 



Bill dusky above, fleshy beneath and at the base ; legs light 

 brown ; irides dark. Length 4f inches ; extent 1\ ; wing 2§ ;

This pretty species is generally distributed over India during 

 the cold weather, and is by no means rare. I have got it 

 frequently in Southern India, especially in the hill regions ; but 

 it is somewhat rare about Calcutta.
