Col. R. Meinertzhagen on Birds from [Ibis, 
It has occurred south to the Transvaal in winter (Stark, 
Fauna S. Afr. i. p. 263). 
Birds arrive in eastern Africa in equal numbers both on 
the coast and inland. 
The dates for spring passage are slightly earlier than for 
M. f. /lava. They are not uncommon in spring in Egypt, 
and seem to be very rare in the Sudan. No spring record 
for Palestine. 
Motacilla f. cinereocapilla Savi. 
No Palestine record. No autumn record for Egypt. 
Reichenow records it from Lado and Berbera. Recorded 
(Nov. Zool. 1918, p. 284) as fairly common in the Elgon 
District (N.E. Uganda) in winter. I obtained an adult 
male at Entebbe on the Victoria Nyanza on 3.iv. 
Not uncommon on spring passage in Egypt. Obtained 
on spring passage at Port Sudan on 13. v. and 16. v. (Ibis, 
1909, p. 392). • 
Motacilla f. campestris Pall. 
It is curious that there should be no Palestine or Egyptian 
record for this form. Apparently very rare in the Sudan, 
though Reichenow records it from Khartoum. 
This is the commonest winter Wagtail in Kenya Colony, 
first autumn arrivals appearing at Nairobi in the middle of 
September and at Nakuru on 11. ix., a few straggling south 
to South Africa—Transvaal and Natal. 
This race is equally common on the coast and inland on 
autumn passage. 
Birds commence to move north from Kenya Colony and 
Uganda about the middle of March. My latest spring- 
record is on 3.iv. on the Victoria Nyanza, though they were 
in thousands on 16:iii. 
At Lamu, on the east coast of Africa just north of 
Mombasa, they streamed north from about 24. iii. to 15. iv., 
and all had disappeared by 26. iv. 
Reichenow records them from Berbera in Somaliland 
without date.
