666 Col. R. Meinertzhagen on Birds from [Ibis, 



It has occurred south to the Transvaal in winter (Stark, 

 Fauna S. A£r. i. p. 263). 



Birds arrive in eastern Africa in equal numbers both on 

 the coast and inland. 



The dates for spring passage are slightly earlier than for 

 M.f.flava. They are not uncommon in spring in Egypt, 

 and seem to bo very rare in the Sudan. No spring record 

 for Palestine. 



Motacilla f. cinereocapilla Savi. 



No Palestine record. No autumn record for Egypt. 

 Reichenow records it from Lado and Berbera. Recorded 

 (Nov. Zool. 1918, p. 284) as fairly common in the Elgon 

 District (N.E. Uganda) in winter. I obtained an adult 

 male at Entebbe on the Victoria Nyanza on 3. iv. 



Not uncommon on spring passage in Egypt. Obtained 

 on spring passage at Port Sudan on 13. v. and 16. v. (Ibis, 

 1909, p. 392). 



Motacilla f. campestris Pall. 



It is curious that there should be no Palestine or Egyptian 

 record for this form. Apparently very rare in the Sudan, 

 though Reichenow records it from Khartoum. 



This is the commonest winter Wagtail in Kenya Colony, 

 first autumn arrivals appearing at Nairobi in the middle of 

 September and at Nakuru on 11. ix., a few straggling south 

 to South Africa — Transvaal and Natal. 



This race is equally common on the coast and inland on 

 autumn passage. 



Birds commence to move north from Kenya Colony and 

 Uganda about the middle of March. My latest spring- 

 record is on 3.iv. on the Victoria Nyanza, though they were 

 in thousands on IG.iii. 



At Lamu, on the east coast of Africa just north of 

 Mombasa, they streamed north from about 24. iii. to 15. iv., 

 and all had disappeared by 26. iv. 



Reichenow records them from Berbera in Somaliland 

 without date. ,
