62 Mr. L. E. Taylor on the 



rendalli obtained by Dr. Reiidall .'^bould be placed in a new- 

 genus, which he calls " Anomalospiza." 



. 93. Serinus icterus. (Eastern Yellow Seed-eater.) 



(a) ? . 21.1.04. 



In stomach seeds. 



The Eastern Yellow Seed-eater is a very common resident, 

 confrrcfratins in flocks durino; the winter, and mixing; freely 

 with S. angolensis (Black-throated Seed-eater). 



98. Serinus angolensis. (Black-throated Seed-eater.) 

 The Black-throated Seed-eater is a very common resident 



here. During the winter they collect in small flocks and 



mix freely with the preceding species. 



[*99. Alario alario. (Mountain Canary.) 



(a) (?. 19.5.04. 



I think that it is most likely that the specimen which I 

 obtained here had escaped from captivity. Although Distant 

 records it from Pretoria, I do not think its range extends as 

 far north as the Transvaal, and probably the one which he 

 obtained had also escaped from captivity, as they are very 

 favourite cage-birds.] 



101. Emberiza flaviventris. (Golden-breasted Bunting.) 



(a) 2.1.04. 



[b) 21.1.04. 



The Golden-breasted Bunting is resident but not plentiful. 

 I have shot specimens on the top of a high Acacia tree and 

 on telegraph-wires, and I have seen them more often perching 

 on trees than on the ground or on rocks. 



*103 B. Fringillaria capensis reidi. (Natal Bunting.) 



(a) S- 20.3.04. 



I have only seen one specimen of this Bunting here. 



104. Fringillaria tahapisi. (Rock Bunting.) 



(a) (?. 12.1.04. 



The Rock Bunting is plentiful on rocky ground where 

 there is any scrub, on the lower branches of which they perch 

 and utter a pleasant note.
