This Tit is to be met with, though more sparingly 

 than the preceding species, in Damara Land and in the 

 neighbourhood of the Okavango River and of Lake 

 Ngami; it is, however, more frequent in the last two 

 districts than in Damara Land proper, and in Great 

 Namaqua Land I have never observed it. It is generally- 

 found in pairs, searching amongst the larger trees for 

 insects and their larvse ; it also feeds on seed. The female 

 is distinguished from the male by her inferior size and 

 duller plumage. The irides are dark brown, the bill 

 dark horn-colour, the legs and toes greenish lead-colour.
