BLYTH^S CEOWNED WILLOW- WARBLER. 
85 
Temminck^s Crowned Willow-Warbler is tolerably common in the 
neighbourhood of Pegu and Kyeikpadein during the cold weather from 
September to April ; but more are met with in the latter month than at 
any other period. I have not met with it in any other part of the Pegu 
Division. Mr. Davison procured it in the southernmost portion of Tenas- 
serim, and my men also got it at Malewoon. 
In winter this bird straggles south down the Malay peninsula as far as 
Java, and Dr. Tiraud records it from Cochin China. On migration it 
passes through China, and it spends the summer in Japan and Eastern 
Siberia. 
The habits of this species do not appear to be much known. The birds 
I met with were in large mango-trees searching the leaves for insects.
