BAUHED WARBLER. 25 



lines are indistinct, but as they increase in age, 

 especially the males, they become more numerous and 

 darker. Beak slightly hooked at the tip; iris deep 

 yellow; feet yellowish grey. 



In the female the colour is duller above, and the 

 ^ chest and flanks tinted with russet ; the white spots at 

 the end of the tail are smaller and not so distinct. 



The young before the first moult, according to 

 Temminck, are of a uniform grey. Vieillot and Miihle 

 say they are covered with crescentic spots, , which are 

 greyish brown on the neck and throat, chest and flanks. 



After the first moult they have the upper parts 

 grey, with indistinct bands of a russet white; under 

 parts white, except the flanks, which are very slightly 

 marked with grey. 



The bird figured is an adult female sent to me by 

 M. Verreaux. The egg also came from the same 

 gentleman. 



This bird has also been figured by Roux, Ornith. 

 Prov., pi. 222, (male;) Gould, B. of E.; and Naumann, 

 Taf., 76. 



As Gould and E-oux have figured males T have 

 thought it best to give a drawing of the female, though 

 males are figured in this work as a general rule.
