PHYLL0SC0PIN4S. 203 



I may remark that Gray's description of xanthoschistos does not 

 quite agree with either, as the lower part of the back is said to be 

 rich yellow. 



An allied species is A. superciliaris, Tick ell, from Burmah. 



574. Abrornis fiaviventris, Jerdon. 



A albigularis, Jerdon and Blyth, P. Z. S., 1861, p. 200. 



The Yellow-bellied Warbler. 



Descr. — Above yellowish green, with a rufescent tinge on the 

 tail feathers ; head greyish, with a white supercilium from the base 

 of the upper mandible ; lores black ; ear-coverts mingled whitish 

 and greenish ; throat and fore-neck white ; rest of lower parts 

 bright yellow ; no trace of a band on the wings. 



Bill dusky ; legs pale. Length nearly 4 inches ; wing If ; tail 

 \\\ bill at front 7 mill. ; tarsus nearly f. 



I found this species at Darjeeling, not very rare. The name 

 given in the P. Z. S. having been forestalled, I am compelled to 

 change it.
