BRITISH BIRDS. 



autumn moult the upper parts are more olive and the underparts buffer. 

 Birds of the year scarcely diifer from adults in autumn plumage. 



In confirmation of the fact that the Gardeu-Warbler has a spring moult, I 

 may mention that I have in my collection an example from Potchefstroom 

 in the Transvaal, dated January 10th, moulting its wings and tail-feathers, 

 and another, shot on February 20th, from the same locality, in which the wings 

 and tail have been completely renewed and the feathers of the throat and 

 breast are in process of being moulted.
