33. Serinus affinis. Streaked-brown Canary. 

 Serinus afinis Richmond. 



Iris brown; bill and feet brown. 



A female of this species was obtained at Naivasha on 

 March 14th. I believe it is supposed to be rather a coramcn 

 bird there, but, so far as 1 know, I never saw another 

 example. 



34. Serinus fagani. Pagan's Canary. 

 Serinus fag ani Sharpe. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs dusky black. 



Pagan's Canary seemed to be distributed everywhere. 

 Specimens were obtained at the Atlii River and on the 

 Kapiti Plains. They w^ere generally seen in pairs or small 

 flocks on the dried-up grassy plains. 



35. Emberiza flaviventris. Golden-breasted Bunting. 

 Emheriza flaviventris (Bonn. & V.). 



]ris brow^n; bill dark brown; legs brown. 



We found the Golden-breasted Bunting at Bondoni on 

 March 4th ; it was not very common and was invariably seen 

 amongst wooded country, generally perching on stones and 

 rocks in preference to boughs. 



36. Pringillaria tahapisi. Rock-Bunting. 

 Frinffillaj'ia tahapisi (Smith). 



Iris brown ; bill and legs brown. 



I found the Rock-Bunting fairly abundant on the Athi 

 Plains, but never very far from water : it was generally 

 quite tame and fearless, 



37. Pyrrhulauda leucoparia. Pischer's Sparrow-Lark. 

 Pyrrhulauda leucopareia Pischer & Reicheu. 



Pischer's Sparrow-Lark was only seen near the Athi 

 River in February : it was generally in pairs and was often 

 observed in the evenings sitting near some track or on the 

 sandy plain, perhaps a mile from the river. 



38. Mirafra athi. Athi Lark. 

 Mirafra athi Hartert. 



Iris yellow, in immature birds brown ; bill and feet brown.
