Birds of Celebes: Sylviidae. 
P. pseudoborealis Severtz. The former is distinguishable by its larger size and 
first primary of 13 — 15 mm long fin P. bovccilis only 7 11 mm), the latter also 
by its longer first primary (about 15 mm) and the second quill equal to the 
seventh, not the sixth (12). 
The habits of P. borealis are described by Prof. Collett (3, VII, 17) and 
by Godlewski (Tacz. cl7). 
GENUS CRYPTOLOPHA Sw. 
An African and Oriental genus of stationary species, much like Phylloscopns 
in general appearance, but differing greatly by its short, rounded wing. First 
primary about '/2 the length of the second, which is about equal to the second- 
aries; tip of wing formed by the — 6*^“. • A few scutellations to be made 
out on the tarsus. Nest domed; eggs white.

Measurements (5 examples). Wing 52 — 58 mm; tail c. 39 — 43; tarsus 20 — 21; bill from 
nostril 6—6.5. 
Distribution. South Celebes — Mount Bonthain and the hills abutting thereon (P. & P, 
Sarasin 1, Everett 2). 
This species was found by the Drs. Sarasin and Mr. Everett in October, 
1895, on the Bonthain mass of mountains at altitudes ranging from 2300 to 
about 8000 feet. Dr. Sharpe, who places Cryptolopha among the Muscicapidae, 
recognised 10 species in 1879, and the present bird is the seventh new species 
added since, the other six being: C. sckcaneri and C. montis Sharpe from Kim 
Balu Jbis 1887, 442; 1889, pi. VIII), C. davisoni Sharpe from Perak (P. Z. S.
