- We present a statistical analysis of more than 2,400 electrostatic solitary waves interpreted as electron holes (EH) measured aboard at least three Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in the Earth's magnetotail. The velocities of EHs are estimated using the multispacecraft interferometry. The EH velocities in the plasma rest frame are in the range from just a few km/s, which is much smaller than ion thermal velocity V-Ti, up to 20,000 km/s, which is comparable to electron thermal velocity V-Te. We argue that fast EHs with velocities larger than about 0.1V(Te) are produced by bump-on-tail instabilities, while slow EHs with velocities below about 0.05V(Te) can be produced by warm bistream and, probably, Buneman-type instabilities. We show that typically fast and slow EHs do not coexist, indicating that the instabilities producing EHs of different types operate independently. We have identified a gap in the distribution of EH velocities between V-Ti and 2V(Ti), which is considered to be the evidence for self-acceleration (Zhou & Hutchinson, 2018) or ion Landau damping of EHs. Parallel spatial scales and amplitudes of EHs are typically between lambda(D) and 10 lambda(D) and between 10(-3) T-e and 0.1 T-e, respectively. We show that electrostatic potential amplitudes of EHs are below the threshold of the transverse instability and highly likely restricted by the nonlinear saturation criterion of electron streaming instabilities seeding electron hole formation: e Phi(0)less than or similar to me pi(2)d(parallel to)(2), where pi = min(gamma, 1.5 omega(ce)), where gamma is the increment of instabilities seeding EH formation, while pi(ce) is electron cyclotron frequency. The implications of the presented results are discussed.
