MARSH WARBLER. 
75 
colour; length five lines and a half, and two lines at 
the base, being shorter and broader than that of the 
Reed Warbler; the gape, Avhich is orange yellow, is 
garnished with three or four strong black hairs; iris 
dark browm; feet yellow flesh-eolour; claws darker. 
The young birds are above clear olive grey, and 
underneath slightly inclining to a rusty yellow. 
My figures of this bird and its egg are from speci- 
mens sent me by M. E. Verreaux. 
It is figured also by Naumann, in his Naturgeschichte 
Der Vogel Deutschlands, Taf. 81, fig. 3 , (male;) and 
by Gould, B. of E. The egg is also figured in Biideker’s 
work.
