WARBLER. Ill 



117.— CILIARY WARBLER. 



LENGTH nearly six inches. Bill small, dusky; top of the head 

 and sides below the eye, and the upper parts of the bird in general, 

 the wings and tail, brownish ash-colour, beneath dusky white ; 

 sides of the neck and breast, between the brown and white, pale 

 ferruginous, continuing on the sides of the body beneath the wing ; 

 tail above one inch long, even ; from the bill to the eye a blackish 

 streak, surrounding the eye, and the eyelids are composed of most 

 beautiful small white feathers ; the wings reach to the base of the 

 tail. One supposed to differ in sex, was, as far as the breast, dusky 

 white, but less bright ; the rest of the under parts pale ferruginous ; 

 the ciliary processes and black lore, the same as in the other. 



Inhabits New-Holland. — Described from a fine drawing in the 

 possession of Mr. Francillon. It seems to have much affinity to the 

 last species. The Spectacle Warbler has also the eye surrounded 

 with a white space, but this we believe is a species not seen out of 

 Europe.
