" I believe the Yellow Wagtail was plentiful around Waka- 

 timi in November and December and frequented the open 

 space cleared at the back of the permanent camp. When 

 I visited this camp in March I saw only one on the same 

 open ground." — C. H. B. G.

 varies from 84-91 mm., and in seven females from 81-

" Many examples of the Eastern Grrey Wagtail were seen 

 from about the beginning of October onwards. They 

 frequented the stony beds of the large rivers and rocky 

 mountain-torrents in the depths of the jungle. On the

 the species was only met with singly." — C. H. B. G.
