WARBLER. 95 



One in the same plate probably differs in sex : this has the upper 

 parts deeper brown, the under cinereous white ; wings and tail as 

 the parts above; the latter cuneiform, but shorter than in the first 

 described ; legs pale yellow. 



Both of the above inhabit Senegal. One in Lord Stanley's 



collection was much paler brown above, or reddish brown ; beneath 

 pale, inclining to rufous; chin and middle of the throat white ; two 

 middle tail feathers two inches long, the outer one only an inch. 



A. — Length barely four inches and a half. Bill slender, black ; 

 plumage above very pale ash-colour, beneath pale rufous white; 

 which colour includes the sides of the head, and above the eyes; 

 wings pale brown, edges of the feathers pale ; tail cuneiform, two 

 inches long, colour as the quills ; legs pale red, or flesh-colour. 



The sexes differ but little ; in one the pale space reaches higher 

 above the eye than in the other, and appears as a broad streak of 

 white. — Inhabits India. — Gen. Hardwicke. 



92.— ALL-BLACK WARBLER. 



Sylvia pammelaina, All-black Warbler, Salt. Abyss. App. p. lix. 



LENGTH seven inches and a half. Bill half an inch long, 

 black, with a very trifling notch near the tip; general colour of the 

 plumage throughout deep black ; on the upper parts somewhat 

 glossy ; quills and tail inclined to ash beneath ; tail even at the end, 

 consisting of twelve feathers, and near three inches and a half long, 

 and the wings, when closed, reach to about the middle of it; all the 

 feathers rounded at the end ; shins an inch long, not very stout, and 

 dusky; the outer toe united to the middle at the base; the first quill 

 is about half the length of the second, which is about half an inch 

 shorter than the fourth, or longest of all.
