65. Emberiza flaviventris, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 491. 



The colonial Dutch name for this bird is " Strep-kopje " 

 (or Striped-head). A male was shot from a tree on 2nd 

 July. Iris hazel ; legs and feet yellowish brown ; stomach 

 full of small seeds. 



QQ. MiRAFRA AFRICANA, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 519. 

 On 17th February a male was shot on the Barberton 

 plain. 



Q7. Macronyx croceuSj L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 532. 



As this bird circles down and alights with outstretched 

 wings, the tail is also spread and the white rectrices are very 

 noticeable. It has a short and rather pleasing song whilst 

 on the wing. 



68. Anthus lineiventris, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 540. 

 On 6th July a female of this species was collected.

 Iris hazel, tarsi and feet black. 



70. CoLius sTRiATUs, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 555. 



The colonial name for this species is the " Mouse-bird " — 

 why I know not, but presume the decomposed feathers of 

 the breast are responsible for the simile. The stomach of a 

 male shot on 29th May contained oval seeds. 



71. Treron delalandei, L. & S., B. S. Afr. p. 558. 



This bird was both scarce and wild ; it pitches, like most 

 Pigeons, on the very topmost twigs of the trees on which it 

 alights.
