Again we fain would have lingered, but time pressed 
and we reluctantly sai l good-byo and left for East Hoathly, 
where again we were met by a warm welcome from our 
host, Dr. Lovell-Keays, and his almost bewildering array of 
foreign f>irds; but, this I must leave for another instal- 
ment. I can only hoi'^e that interest will l>e as sustained in 
reading the account, as ours was in oljserving and noting. 
Then these notes will serve some pi'actical purpose and not 
have been penned in vain. 
March 1. — Travelled 40 miles by Tonga from Jatii to Dumnian over 
the high table land which averages some 1,500 feet abovn, 
sea level. The chief features in the way of birds were a 
number of Chats, chiefly White-capped Chat (Snxk-oln cap- 
isiraia) and Strickland's Chat (S. opistholexca), and .a few 
Desei't Chats (iS'. dcserti) and Bied Chats {S . picnta) ; the 
Indian Grey Shrike {Lanius lahlora ) was very much in evi- 
dence ; many Pipits and flocks of Short-toed Larks and Sky- 
larks were common in the fields along the road . 
Signs of the spring migrations were seen in various 
flights of duck and a few Ifuddy Sheldrakes, which were 
visiting the village ponds, and in one place a couple! of 
Pintail and a spring of Teal were found in a flooded wheat- 
field by the side of the road . Although I have travelled 
this road over a dozen times before, this is the first oc- 
casion on which Duck have been noted . 
Several Striated Swallows (sp.?), a Wryneck (lynx 
torquilla), and a number of European Hoopoes (Vpupa 
epopt) were also migrants.
