BIRDS OF BRITISH BURMAH. 
second primary is about equal to the tenth in length ; the first primary 
measures about '6 inch in length. The female is considerably smaller than 
the male^ the wing being occasionally as short as 2*1 inches. 
BlytVs Crowned Willow- Warbler occurs commonly throughout Southern 
Pegu during the winter months. I have shot it as early as the 29th of 
August and it remains to the end of April. I procured one specimen in 
Northern Pegu on the hills. It is probably as common there as further 
south. Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay got it on the Karin hills from 2000 to 
4000 feet elevation^ and Colonel Lloyd sent it to Lord Tweeddale from 
Tonghoo. Mr. Davison appears to have met with it in Tenasserim on the 
Salween river, but on what portion he does not mention. Dr. Armstrong 
seems to have procured a specimen at Amherst. 
In ivinter this Warbler is probably found in all the Indo-Burmese 
countries, for Dr, Anderson procured it in the Kachyin hills near Bhamo. 
It is known to be very abundant in Bengal and Northern India. In 
summer it appears to be found in the Himalayas from Cashmeer eastwards^ 
and it is said to have occurred in China. 
It is found on trees searching the leaves for insects, and I do not think 
it ever descends to the ground. 
This species, P. coronatus and P. occipitalis from India are closely allied 
in coloration. P. coronatus may be known by the under tail-coverts being 
yellow in contrast to the white of the abdomen and by having the second 
primary longer than the seventh. P. reguloides and P. occipitalis have both 
the abdomen and under tail-coverts the same tint of yellowish white ; 
but whereas the former has the second primary about equal to the tenth, 
in the latter the second primary is shorter than the seventh but longer than 
the eighth.
