given by Dr. Radde of the males of his Acredulce are as follows : — Acredula caudata : culmen 02 

 inch, wing 2-45 to 2 - 55, tail 3'60 to 3 - 68, tarsus - 55 to 0*60; Acredula tephronota: culmen - 2, 

 wing 2-3, tail 2 - 7, tarsus 0-6 ; and Acredula tephronota, var. major : culmen 0-2, wing 2-35 to 2-40, 

 tail 3"2 to 3 - 25, tarsus 0-6. The three males of Acredula caucasica in my collection measure as 

 follows :— Culmen 0-25 to 0-30 inch, wing 2-40 to 2-52, tail 340 to 3-35, tarsus O60 to 0-64. 



I find nothing on record respecting the habits and nidification of the present species, but it 

 doubtless does not differ therein from its near allies Acredula caudata and Acredula tephronota. 



The specimen figured and described is in my own collection. 



There is no specimen of A. caucasica in the British Museum, and the only specimens I have 

 been able to examine in the preparation of the above article are the following : —
