Sylviella batesi Sharpe, Ibis, 1908, p. 319 ; Bates, Ibis, 
1909, p. 72. 
Two nests, like that already described, were brought 
to me, each with the old bird (Nos. 4036 & 4450) and a 
single nestling. Both nestlings had the inside of the mouth 
orange, and the tongue had a pair of black spots at the 
base (text-fig. 19, D, p. 614). 
I myself found another nest, and saw the little Crombec 
enter and sit in its tiny hammock, seeing it plainly enough 
to be pretty sure that it belonged to this species. This 
nest was hung on a prickly bramble-like stem that extended 
horizontally over a little cleared space in the ekotok; it was 
not concealed, but inconspicuous from its small size and 
resemblance to a bit of trash hanging on the stem.

No. 4443. ? . Bitye, October 19, 1910. Plumage worn ; 
inside of mouth and tongue bright yellow and orange,

This is the first time I have obtained the Willow-Wren. 
The Wood-Wren, P . sibilatrix , already reported, has been 
obtained again, and so has the Garden-Warbler, Sylvia 
simplex.

The occurrence of this specimen, which was caught in a 
snare, extends the range of the species further east.

Though rather rare, this is a bird of bikotok and not of 
the forest. 
In its lively motions and manner of cocking its tail 
forward over its back, it reminded me of Cisticcla and 
Prinia; and I think, for this and for other reasons, that the 
natural place of the species is close to those genera. 
Both males and females have the iris brown, the feet
