not mention it from Liberia; but from the Gold Coast there 

 are specimens in the British Museum collected by Col. 

 Strachan in that country, and one of Mr. Godfrey Lagden's 

 from Ashantee, and Drs. Reichenow and Liihder met with them 

 in flocks along the Accra coast. Mr. Hartert records meeting 

 with this species twice at Loko on the Benue tributary of the 

 Niger, and in the highlands to the north found it throughout 

 the winter in full breeding plumage. In Caraaroons the 

 species has been found by both Dr. Reichenow and Mr. 

 Sjostedt. From Gaboon there is one of Verreaux's specimens 

 in the British Museum, and Marche met with it in the Ogowe 

 district. On the Congo at Yambuya, Jameson procured the 

 species while waiting with the ill-fated rear-guard of the 

 Stanley expedition. 



The most southern known range for this Wagtail is the 

 country between the Limpopo and Vaal rivers, from whence Mr. 

 T. Ayres, in a paper on the ornithology of the Transvaal, 

 writes: "Male and female, shot January 3." In the British 

 Museum there are two specimens collected by Sir John Kirk 

 at Tete on the Zambesi and specimens of Mr. A. Whyte's 

 collecting from Zomba and Mount Mlosa in the Shire highlands, 

 where the species has also been procured by Dr. P. Rendall. 

 To the eastward at Quilimane Dr. Stuhlmann obtained a 

 specimen in March, and informs us that it is there called by the 

 native " Djiriko." In German East Africa, on the western 

 shores of Victoria Nyanza, Emin found the species at Bukoba 

 in November and December. In British East Africa, Mr. 

 Ansorge frequently met with it in Unyoro and Uganda from 

 October to March, and Mr. Jackson at Bavine in March, when 

 they were in company with M. flava. In like manner Mr. 

 Elliot, when he shot a specimen at Berbera in Somaliland, 

 found it in company with the nearly allied species M. borealis 

 and M. cinereicajpilla. At Harrar Meyer Lake, about 100 miles
