668 Col. R. Meinertzhagen on Birds from [Ibis, 
is abundant. A common winter visitor to the Sudan and 
Abyssinia from December to May. Fairly common in Kenya 
Colony and Uganda in winter, especially on the Victoria 
Nyanza from January to early April ; but other birds arrive 
about the end of October, for I saw a small flock at Entebbe 
on 20.x. and several at Naivasha and Nakuru in late October. 
I have seen two winter birds from northern Somaliland. 
Not observed on the coast of eastern Africa or at Nairobi 
in 1915 or 1916. 
South of the Victoria Nyanza they do not seem to go, but 
Ayres (teste Gurney) obtained one in the Transvaal. 
Birds appear to begin to leave the tropics in late March 
and the Sudan in late April. They are abundant on spring 
* passage in the Fayoum and Wadi Natrun, but very rare in 
the Egyptian Delta. 
A few pass north through Palestine in late March, and they 
have been shot in Sinai on 29. iii., and have been reported as 
plentiful from 12. iv. to 18. iv. 
They breed just east of Aleppo in northern Syria, nine 
nests being found. 
Flocks passed through Crete from 27. iii. to 9. iv. 
(Lynes). 
Both yellow- and white-eye striped varieties have been 
obtained in Egypt and the Sudan. 
Motacilla f. melanogriseus (Horn.). 
No Palestine record. Two obtained by Butler in December 
and March at Khartoum, and there are others in the Brehm 
Collection at Tring from Egypt and the Sudan. 
Nicoll (Hand-list Birds of Egypt) records it as a rare 
spring visitor, but gives no further details. 
No record for eastern Africa. 
I have seen a bird from northern Somaliland collected by 
Archer on 31. iii. 
Lanius senator niloticus (Bp.). 
A scarce winter visitor to Kenya Colony, a pair being 
obtained in the Maragoli Hills on 10. i.
