Description. — Male and female. Similar in all respects to P. plumbei- 
tarsus, except that the pale tips to the median wing- coverts are wanting. 
It has thus one wing-bar only. 
The Indian Willow -Warbler is stated by Mr. Blyth to have occurred in 
Arrakan. Mr. Davison met with it in Tenasserim at Thatone and Moul- 
mein_, and the type of P. seebohmi was obtained at Tavoy. I have never 
procured it in any part of the Pegu division. 
It inhabits the Himalayas up to Cashmere^ where it breeds^ and in the 
winter is found over Northern India^ Bengal and the Indo-Burmese 
countries^ and^ according to Dr. Tiraud, in Cochin China. Dr. Jerdon 
states that he procured it in Southern India, and Capt. Legge includes 
it in the birds of Ceylon. 
It has straggled into Europe^ where it has been obtained in Heligoland. 
Mr. Brooks found the nest in Cashmere at an elevation of 11,000 feet. 
It was a domed structure placed on the steep bank-side of a ravine full of 
birch trees, but it did not contain eggs. 
84. PHYLLOSCOPUS BUEMANNICUS. 
THE BURMESE WILLOW- WARBLER. 
Phylloscopus burmannicus, Brooks, S. I. ix. p. 272 ; Oates, S. F. x. p. 223. 
Although I have doubts about the distinctness of this supposed species, 
I do not think myself justified, with the small amount of evidence before 
me, to suppress it altogether. Mr. Brooks described it from a specimen 
procured by myself in Pegu, and another skin is in Mr. Hume^s museum. 
It is hardly possible in such a difficult group of birds as this to arrive at 
any certain conclusion from the examination of a single example. I there- 
fore proceed to give Mr. Brooks's diagnosis of the species. 
From P. viridanus it may be distinguished as follows : —
