Description. — Male and female. Upper plumage, tail and wings olive- 
brown; a broad and distinct superciliary streak_, reaching to the nape, 
greyish white ; lores and a stripe over the ear- coverts dark brown ; ear- 
coverts greyish white ; whole lower plumage white^ tinged with grey on the 
breast, flanks and under tail-coverts. 
Iris dull brown; bill yellow; legs fleshy white. [Wardlaw Ramsay.) 
Length 4 inches^ tail 1*7, wing 2, tarsus '75, bill from gape '55. 
This species may be distinguished from the last by its white lower 
plumage. 
Blanford^s Hill-Warbler was procured at Pahpoon in Tenasserim by 
Mr. Davison, and on the Karin hills, east of Tonghoo^ by Capt. Wardlaw 
Ramsay. 
Mr. Blanford first discovered it in Sikhim, and I cannot find any record 
of its occurrence elsewhere ; but Mr. Seebohm states that it is found in 
Assam, on what authority I do not know^ 
Nothing is known of the habits of this species. The Horeites group 
appear to be found at considerable elevations in brushwood on mountains, 
and to be non-migratory. Some species in the Himalayas are found near 
the snows and feed on the ground.
