The Yellow-wattled Lapwing was met Avith from ^lesnra 

 to Chak Chak and thence towards Dem Zubeir. I took a 

 clutch of four eggs at the Khor Kobshum on March 6th. 

 They were deposited on a patch of dried mud surrounded by 

 high grass ; a few small bits of earth were packed round the 

 eggs. The specimen from Dervish Dem was kindly given 

 to me by M. de Vilmorin.

I frequently saw the Red-wattled Lapwing along our 

 route in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province.

The specimen a was in nearly full breeding-plumage. It 

 was shot from a large flock of two or three hundred birds 

 which were on an open cotton-soil plain. They all appeared 

 to be in the same state of plumage. This was the only time 

 that I met with the species in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province.
