feathers, thread, and hair, and the eggs, three in number, are pure

 A. schisticeps apud Blyth, J. A. S., XIV., 592— Blytii, Cat.

The Grey-headed Warbler. 



Descr. — Head, nape and upper back uniform ash-grey ; the 

 rest of the upper plumage bright yellow green ; the entire under 

 parts deep yellow; the two outer tail-feathers white on their 

 inner web; a whitish grey supercilium; an ill-defined central 

 pale streak on the middle of the head ; and two ill-defined lateral 

 broad streaks, more dusky than the head. 



Length 3| ; wing 2 ; tail 1| ; tarsus -{--. Hodgson's measure- 

 ments are rather larger. Length 4 ; wing 2~ ; tarsus f . 



This species has been found in Nepal, Sikhim, and Bootan, and 

 I obtained it at Darjeeling. 



573. Abrornis albo-superciliaris, Blyth. 



Adams' List of Birds of Cashmere, No. 113— P. Z. S., 1859, 

 p. 182. 



The White-browed Warbler. 



Descr. — 'Head, neck, and back, leaden ash, a white line over the 

 eye; rump and sides tinged with yellow ; tail olive ; lower parts 

 lively yellow ; wings brownish black, with the edges of the quills 

 tinged with yellow. 



Bill dusky ; legs light brown. Size of P. trochilus. Approxi- 

 mates A. xanthoschistos. Common in the woods and thickets of 

 the lesser ranges.' 



Adams' description corresponds nearly with a specimen I 

 procured at Darjeeling, and which I had confounded with xantho- 

 schistos, but the ashy hue of the head and upper back is much 

 overlaid with green. It differs from what I take to be xanthoschis- 

 tos by its larger size. Length 4£ ; wing 2£ ; tail 1| ; tarsus f.
