66 LT. C. G. FINCH-PAVIES ON THE 



119. Fringillaria iiiipetuani — Lark Bunting. Fairly 

 common at Outjo, but I have not met with it at Okanjande. 



120. Motacilla capensis — Cape Wagtail. Not com- 

 mon. I have seen only one or t^Yo specimens at Outjo, in 

 the villa ore. 



121. An thus leucophrys — Plain-backed Pipit. Not 

 common, I have met with only a few at Okanjande. 



122. Mirafra n?evia — Dark-lined Lark. The com- 

 monest lark in this country, frequenting rough stony ground 

 interspersed ^Yith grass and low thorn-bush. When flushed 

 it usually perches on the tops of the thorn-trees. In the 

 evening and early morning they utter a low, rather sweet 

 song, and at this time they may often be seen chasing each 

 other about. 



123. Mirafra africanoides — Fawn-coloured Lark. 

 Fairly common and fond of frequenting sandy roads. It is 

 often seen perched on the top of a thorn-bush, uttering a low, 

 rather feeble song. 



124. Mirafra fringillaris — Finch-like Lark. Fairly 

 common. In March and April, when they were breeding, 

 their monotonous call could be heard all day long, and on 

 moonlight nights, all night as well. This call they gene- 

 rally utter from the top of a thorn-tree, but sometimes on the 

 wang. 



125. Pinarocorys nigricans — Dusky Lark. Scarce. 

 I have met with it only at Okanjande, where a few might 

 be found on open ground in the vicinity of the camp. It 

 has a very pipit-like flight and when flushed usually perches 

 on a bush. 



126. Pyrrhulauda verticali? — Grey-backed Lark. 

 Fairly common on the "sand veld" both in the Outjo and 

 Okanjande districts. 



127. Pycnonotus capensis nigricans — Red-eyed 

 Bulbul. Very common, especially in the vicinity of farms 

 and villao;es.
