Dr. R. B. Sharpe on 
the Province. As regards the habits and plumages of this 
species I have nothing to add to my former remarks ( £ Ibis/ 
1908, pp. 495-6). 
66. Anthus spipoletta coutellii. 
Anthus spinolettus Shelley, p. 132. 
Anthus spinoletta coutellii Hartert, Vog. d. pal. Fauna, 
Heft iii. p. 281. 
This form of the Water-Pipit is an abundant winter visitor 
to the Province. It arrives in autumn and remains till April. 
67. Anthus campestris (Linn.). 
Anthus campestris Shelley, p. 134. 
The Tawny Pipit appears to be resident in the Province. 
I have never found the nest, but this is no doubt owing 
to lack of opportunity. I have obtained immature examples 
in first plumage in autumn and adults in winter and spring. 
68. Anthus iiichardi Vieill. 
The only example that I know to have been obtained in the 
Province is an adult male shot by myself on November 17th, 
1908, near Giza. For the recorded occurrences of this species 
in Egypt, cf. ‘ Ibis/ 1908, p. 496.

XII.— A Note on Molpastes magrathi Whitehead . 
By 11. Bowdler Sharpe, LL.D., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. 
(Plates V. & VI.) 
The Editors have asked me to write a few words on the 
curious species of Bulbul which Lieut. C. II. T. Whitehead 
has lately named after Major H. A. F. Magrath (see 
Whitehead, Bull. B. O. 0. xxi. p. 48 (1908) ; id. Ibis, 1909, 
p. 114). 
Thanks to Lieut. Whitehead and Major Magrath, the 
British Museum contains an ample series of specimens of the 
Bulbuls which have served for the interesting essay they 
have written on these forms.
