 If in. : bill to gape \ in. ; and tarse nearly f in. Bill dusky above, 

 below yellow or amber-coloured ; and tarse pale. Plumage, above 

 dull olive-green, brighter on the rump and margins of the wing and

* Mr. G. R. Gray suggests that this may be the young of his Abr. erochroa, 

 Hodgson, which he thus describes : 



" Length 5 in. ; bill from gape £ in. ; tarse f in. : wings under 1\ in. Upper 

 surface olive-green ; a streak over each eye from the nostrils, under surface and 

 lower part of back, yellowish-white, brightest on the back [rump?] and vent: 

 wings with the tips of the greater coverts broadly margined with rufous-white : 

 quills brownish. black, narrowly margined with yellowish-green: tail slaty-brown, 

 margined with yellowish. green, the outer feathers principally white." 



We suspect that this description merely refers to a fine specimen of C. pul- 

 chra ; and may remark that the present is the only species of the series of which 

 the Society possesses but an indifferent specimen Of the rest, C. castaneoceps 

 we have never seen ; but all of the others, save four, we here describe from recent 

 specimens shot near Calcutta ! The four exceptions are — Phylloscopus occipi- 

 talis, and Ph. chloronotus, and the two Culicipet^e which next follow; aud 

 to these may be added the Regultjs.
