74 PASSERES. 



Hakodadi iu October 1857, and described as a new species under the 

 name of Lusciniopsis hendersonii (Cassin, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Philad. 

 1858; p. 194). I have examined the type in the Philadelphia 

 Museum ; it is streaked on the breast and lovTer throat, and slightly 

 so on the under tail-coverts. There was an example in the Swinhoe 

 collection from Hakodadi (Swinhoe, Ibis, 1875, p. 449), but it cannot 

 now be found. 



This species breeds in Siberia and in North Russia as far west as 

 St. Petersburg. It passes through China on migration, and winters 

 in the Burma peninsula and the Andaman Islands. 



43. CETTIA SQUAMICEPS. 



(SWINHOE'S BUSH-WARBLER.) 



Tribura squameiceps, Swinhoe, Proc. Zool. See. 1863, p. 292. 



Swinhoe's Bush-Warbler is a small bird, with the tail only about 

 half as long as the wing. It has a very conspicuous pale stripe above 

 the eye, and a dark stripe through the eye.

Swinhoe^'s Bush- Warbler is a summer visitor to Japan. There is 

 an example in the Swinhoe collection from Hakodadi (Swinhoe, Ibis, 

 1874, p. 155) ; and I have two examples collected by Mr. Henson 

 from the same locality in May. There are four examples in the 

 Pryer collection from Fuji-yama, where it is said to be rather rare 

 (Jouy, Proc. United States Nat. Mus. 1883, p. 384). 



Swinhoe's Bush- Warbler is probably confined to Japan during the 

 breediug-season, and winters in Formosa and South China. It is 

 represented in Eastern Siberia by a very nearly allied species, Cettia 

 ussurianus, which only differs from its Japanese ally in having the 

 upper parts olive-brown instead of chocolate-brown. 



44. CETTIA CANTANS. 

 (LARGE JAPANESE BUSH-WARBLER.) 



Salicaria cantans, Temminck and Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, Aves p 51 

 (1847). 



The Large Japanese Bush-Warbler is dull olive-brown on the
