314, ANTHOSCOPUS CAROLI. Andersson’s Penduline Titmouse. 
This little Titmouse was described by the editor from specimens 
obtained at Ovaquenyama by the late Mr. Andersson, after whom it 
is named (Ibis, 1871, p. 415). Although very similar in size to A. 
capensis, it is distinguished at once by the under surface, which is 
white as far as the breast and light tawny for the remainder, whereas 
in AY. capensis the throat is white and the rest of the underparts 
yellow : there are other differences between the species also which a 
comparison of the descriptions will show. 
Adult male. General colour above light grey, slightly olivaceous, 
inclining gradually to tawny buff on the rump and upper tail-coverts: 
wing-coverts brown with light grey edgings to the feathers, whiter 
on the greater series: quills dark brown, narrowly edged with grey, 
the margins beg broader and rather whiter on the secondaries ; 
tail-feathers dark brown, margined with grey: forehead whitish, the 
feathers mottled with grey tips: sides of face dull white, the ear- 
coverts rather inclining to’ buff: throat and breast white, the rest of 
the lower parts light tawny, including the thighs and under tail- 
coverts : under wing-coverts whitish as also the inner webs of the 
quills. Total length, 3 inches; culmen, 0°35; wing, 2°05; tail, 1:2; 
tarsus, 0°6.

Paroides capensis, Layard, B. 8. Afr., p. 114. 
This is the “ Cappoc-Vogel” of the Colonists, lit. “ Cotton bird,” 
so named from its peculiarly constructed nest. Le Vaillant 
found it in small flocks on the western side of the colony, in the 
neighbourhood ef the “ Elephants’ River,” and we have received it 
from various parts of the colony, east as well as west. It is enume- 
rated in Mr. Rickard’s list of the birds of Port Elizabeth, and has 
been obtained by Mr. Ayres in the Transvaal, on the borders of the 
Limpopo. Mr. Andersson writes:—‘‘ This diminutive species is 
sparingly found from the Okavango River to the neighbourhood of 
~ Cape Town, following the line of the coast and occurring in small
