RADDE'S BUSH-WARBLER. 

 Lusciniola schwarzi (Radde). 

 Plate 7. 



One example of this rare Warbler, from south-eastern Siberia, was shot by Mr. 

 G. H. Caton Haigh on October i, 1898, near North Cotes, Lincolnshire. 



According to the late E. W. Oates [Fauna of British India, vol. i. pp. 399-400), 

 this species is migratory, visiting the southern half of Burma, Pegu, and Tenas- 

 serim ; also south China. 



He found this Warbler, on the two occasions he met with it, in bushes, and 

 describes it as feeding " a good deal on the ground, its strong tarsus being suited 

 to this mode of life." 



The nest and eggs of this Warbler are unknown. 



Its brief but rather loud song is wanting in quality.
