 recorded from southern Arabia, there is another example, 

 also obtained by Bury, in the British Museum hibelled 

 " Gerba, Amiri distr. S.Arabia — 11 October.^' It no doubt 

 passes through Aral)ia on its way to its winter quarters in 

 north-east Africa.

There is a good series of this species from various localities 

 in southern Arabia in the British ]Museum taken throughout 

 the year, so we may presume it is a resident. It occurs 

 also on the opposite coast of Africa in the Soudan, Abys- 

 sinia, and Somaliland.

Messrs. Percival and Dodson procured the AVillow- 

 Warbler in September. It probably passes through Arabia 

 on migration only. It winters throughout Africa as far 

 south as Cape Colony.
