elevation. I did not notice it below 3,000 feet. (1) 
36. Orthotomus atrigularis. (Temm.) 
Black-necked Tailor Bird. A few small tailor-birds which 
frequented the clearing round the Tea Garden bungalow were, 
I think, of this species. I somehow omitted to shoot a 
specimen, 
37. Cisticola beavani. (Wald.) 
Numerous in the Tea Garden clearing, frequenting the 
weeds and bushes near the jungle edge. Dr. Hartert tells me 
that they are paler and less rufescent than any of the Indian 
specimens with which they have been compared. I regret that 
I did not shoot a few more. (2) 
38. Cryptolopha butler. (Hartert.) 
Butler’s Flycatcher Warbler. A new species. For the 
benefit of local readers I quote the description from the Bulletin 
of the British Ornithologist’s Club, No. LIV,p. 50. Adult male, 
Crown of the head dark rufous with a broad deep brown lateral 
stripe ; sides-of the head and back ashy grey ; lower back, rump, 
scapulars, smaller upper wing-coverts, edges to the primaries 
and retrices yellowish green ; larger upper wing-coverts blackish, 
with a greenish wash and greenish yellow tips; throat and 
fore-neck to the chest pale grey ; middle of the abdomen white; 
sides of body, under wing-coverts, axillaries, vent, and under 
tail-coverts lemon-yellow. Iris reddish brown ; bill dusky, 
mandible yellowish fleshy ; feet brownish yellow. 
Wing 51-54 m m., tail 42—45, bill 6. 5—7, tarsus 16-16.5. 
Nearest to C. castaneiceps, but easily distinguished by its darker 
crown and grey back besides other differences. I found this ~ 
little bird not uncommon at 4,000 feet and saw it as low as 3,000 
feet. I found 3 nests during April; they were very like nests 
of the common Huropean Wren, placed under overhanging 
banks, two containing three young each and the other a clutch 
of 3 fresh eggs, of the usual Cryptolopha type—pure white. (2). 
39. Phyllergates cucullatus. (Temm.) 
Golden-headed Warbler. Not uncommon above 4,000 feet,
