Phylloscopus hrehmi , Blanford, Eastern Persia, ii. p. 182 
(1876, nec Homeyer). 
Bill very slender, under mandible nearly black. 
Upper parts earthy brown, slightly tinged with yellowish 
green on the rump. Wings and tail greyish brown, 
slightly tinged with green on the outside edge of each 
feather. Superciliary streak huffish white. 
Head exactly the same colour as the hack. 
Underparts nearly white, slightly dashed with huffish grey on 
the breast, flanks, and under tail-coverts ; in autumn 
plumage conspicuously so. Axillaries, wing-lining, and 
thighs pale yellow, which almost disappears in extreme 
summer plumage. 
Third and fourth primaries longest. Fifth a shade shorter. 
Sixth considerably shorter. Seventh and eighth each 
considerably shorter than the previous one. Second 
generally between the seventh and eighth, sometimes equal 
to the seventh, sometimes to the eighth. 
Bastard primary rather large, the exposed part measuring *5 
in the female, and ’53 to ’65 in the males. 
No wing-bar. 
Length of wing—male 2*58 to 2*33, female 2*25 to 2'1. 
Length of tail—male 23 to 2*0, female 1*9. 
Legs and claws black. 
This species winters in the plains of India and Baluchistan. 
A few remain to breed in the alpine districts of the Hima¬ 
layas and the Karakorum mountains, whilst the main body 
passes through Turkestan on migration to their summer 
quarters in Siberia, which probably extend from the valley of 
the Petchora to Lake Baical. 
Harvie Brown and I found it breeding north of the arctic 
circle on the banks of the Petchora (Ibis, 1876, p. 217); 
Meves obtained it in the breeding-season at Perm (Journ. fur 
Ornith. 1875, p. 430); SevertzofF writes that it passes on mi¬ 
gration through the Central and Lower Ural, the Kirghis
