The call is the usual Canary note, and the males besides 

 have a rather sweet song of a few notes. 



The soft parts are : — Irides hazel ; bill dusky horn-

[Since the Central Cape Colony trip I have only found 

 this Seed-eater in Namaqualand, where it was fairly plentiful. 

 It was observed singly or in pairs, and frequented gardens 

 and veld near water. It feeds largely upon various seeds 

 and grains. 



The soft parts are: — Irides hazel; bill, upper mandible 

 palish horn-eoloured, lower fleshy ; legs and toes blackish.]

This Canary was found in the Knysna, Zululand, and the 

 South-Eastern and North-Eastern Transvaal. It is a wood- 

 land-haunting species, and is usually found in pairs in

The soft parts are : — Irides hazel ; bill, upper mandible 

 pale horn-brown, lower fleshy horn-coloured ; legs and toes 

 fleshy brown.]
