have been named thereafter, as in the case of the European variety Locustella 

 ncevia, Bodd. 



292. Carkh6i Qu6qa6. ^^y ^ty* 



The Reed Warbler. 



Acrocephalus streperus. 

 Manchu: Urka cecike. 

 Chinese : Wei cha tzu [lit. reed warbler]. 

 This is apparently another name for No. 291. 



Bowdler Sharpe (B.S. 184) gives caghci as the Turki name for the Indian Blue-throat 

 Cyanecula ccerulecula. But I think this is a mistake for carkhci, as Scully says the bird 

 is so named because it makes a noise resemling the whirr of a spinning wheel (carkh).

Chinese : L,u wei niao. 

 The "Mirror" says: Resembles the fenihe cecike (No. 358). It builds a nest, which looks as

 child-birth, burn this nest and dissolve the ashes in wine, which they then drink.
