THE LANCEOLATED WARBLER. 

 Locustella lanceolata (Temminck). 



This is another rare straggler from Siberia, which winters in India, Burma, and 

 the Andaman Islands. The first recorded specimen was shot by Mr. G. H. Caton 

 Haigh, at North Cotes, Lincolnshire, on November i8, 1909, while two others 

 have since been recorded. 



Though smaller than the Grasshopper-Warbler, the general colour of the 

 upper parts of this bird resembles that of the other, but the dark stripes are more 

 distinct and the underparts are strongly streaked with dark. 



The colours are alike in both sexes.
