302 Dr. R. B. Sharpe on 



the Province. As regards the habits and plumages of this 

 species I have nothiug to add to my former remarks (' Ibis/ 

 1908, pp. 495-6). 



66. Anthus spipoletta coutellii. 

 Anthus spinolettus Shelley, p. 132. 



Anthus spinoletta coutellii Hartert, Vcig, d. pal. Fauna, 

 Heft iii. p. 281. 



This form of the Water-Pipit is an abundant winter visitor 

 to the Province. It arrives in autumn and remains till April. 



67. Anthus campestris (Linn.). 

 Anthus campestris Shelley, p. 134. 



The Tawny Pipit appears to be resident in the Province. 

 I have never found the nest, but this is no doubt owing 

 to lack of opportunity. I have obtained immature examples 

 in first plumage in autumn and adults in winter and spring. 



68. Anthus richardi Vieill. 



The only example that I know to have been obtained in the 

 Province is an adult male shot by myself on November 17th, 

 1908, near Giza. For the recorded occurrences of this species 

 in Egypt, cf. ' Ibis/ 1908, p. 496.

XII. — A Note on Molpastes magrathi Whitehead. 

 By R. BowDLER Sharpe, LL.D., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. 



(Plates V. & VI.) 



The Editors have asked me to write a few words on the 

 curious species of Bulbul which Lieut. C. IL T. Whitehead 

 has lately named after Major H. A. F. Magrath (see 

 Whitehead, Bull. B.O. C. xxi. p. 48 (1908) ; id. Ibis, 1909, 

 p. 114). 



Thanks to Lieut. Whitehead and Major Magrath, the 

 British Museum contains an ample series of specimens of the 

 Bulbuls which have served for the interesting essay they 

 have written on these forms.
