588 Dr, R. Bowdler Sharpe on Birds 



Zosteropidpe, Paridse, and Laniidse are treated of. During 

 my journey back from the Ornithological Congress I stayed 

 a few days in Berlin and Hamburg, and was enabled to 

 compare many of Mr. Jackson's specimens with types col- 

 lected by Dr. Fischer and Emin Pasha. I have to thank 

 both Dr, Reichenow and Dr. Kraeppelin for their kindness 

 on these occasions^ in enabling me to make the necessary 

 examinations. 



Fam. MoTAciLLiD.5^. 



63. MOTACILLA MELANOPE. 



Motacilla melanope (Pall.) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. x. 

 p. 497. 



Motacilla sulphurea, Beclist. ; Salvad. Ann. Mus. Genov. 

 (2) i. p. 166 (1884; Shoa), vi. p. 263 (1888; Shoa). 

 Nos. 67, 68. ^ ? . Mau, Sept. 30, 1889.— Bill dusky ; 



feet pale brown ; irides brown. 

 No. 336. ? . Mt. Elgon, Feb. 28, 1890.— Bill dusky olive- 

 brown ; legs flesh-colour ,• irides brown. 



The specimens obtained by Mr. Jackson are all in winter 

 plumage, though the Elgon bird shows slight traces of black 

 on the throat. The localities above recorded extend the 

 winter range of this Wagtail considerably to the south.

 wliich the Tree-Pipit has as yet been found.
