The Phylloseopus seebohmi of Hume would now appear to have been this species in spring plumage, and not A. viridanus, which does not occur in Burma. Bigtrihution. A common winter migrant to Southern Pegu, and the northern portion of Tenasserim down to Mergui, from the middle of September to the end of April. It appears to summer in Turkestan and southern Siberia. 424. Acanthopneuste magnirostris. The Large-hilled Willow- Warhler, Phyllosoopus magnirostris, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xii, p. 966 (1843); Horsf.
