520 Major S. R. Clarke — Field-notes on 



not observed elsewhere. Legs brownish; bill dark horn- 

 coloured ; iris yellowish hazel. 



3. Parus afer. (124.) 



Bloemfontein. Met with in pairs on three different farms, 

 but apparently not abundant. The specimens appear to 

 belong to the form called Pants intermedins (Shelley, B. 

 Afr. ii. p. 242).

Bloemfontein. Abundant in the Modder Bush, but I saw
