80 Mr. H. Seebohm on the Phylloscopi 
brown, with the outside edge of each feather broadly 
margined with yellowish green. Superciliary streak 
extending to the nape. 
Head darker colour than the hack , with a distinct pale mesial 
line. 
Underparts nearly white, slightly dashed with yellow and 
grey on the breast and flanks. Axillaries, wing-lining, 
and thighs pale yellow. Under tail-coverts pale yellow. 
Third and fourth primaries longest. Fifth a shade shorter. 
Sixth considerably shorter. Second a shade shorter than 
the sixth. Seventh considerably shorter than the second. 
Bastard primary small, the exposed part about *5 to *55. 
First winy-bar distinct. Second sometimes wanting. 
Length of wing—male 2*55 to 2*4, female 2‘4 to 2*25. 
Length of tail—male 2 to 1*9, female 1*9 to 1*8. 
Legs and claws light brown. 
This species seems to be the most easterly in its range of 
any of the genus. It is common in summer in Japan ( Capt . 
Blakiston, Ibis, 1862, p. 317; Whitely, Ibis, 1867, p. 197). 
On the continent it has been found near the river Ussuri, 
lat. 48° (in Mus. von Homeyer). Swinhoe obtained it in 
North China from Peking (Ibis, 1863, p. 93) probably on 
migration. He also found it during the spring migration at 
Amoy (Ibis, 1860, p. 54), and again on the Island of Formosa 
(Ibis, 1863, p. 307), also probably during migration. In 
winter this species has been obtained in Java (in Stockholm 
Mus. fide Meves) and at Malacca ( Maingay in Mus. Lord 
Tweeddale. 
I have been unable to obtain any information respecting 
the nidification of this bird. 
This species is easily distinguishable from any of its near 
allies by its comparatively long second primary, and by the 
yellowness of the under tail-coverts compared with the rest 
of the underparts.
