The specimens of C. arenaria with which the present 

 bird has been compared were killed by Andersson in Great 

 Namaqualand at exactly the same time of year, 20th to 

 29th of May, 1802-64 ; the differences between the two 

 forms is very marked.

The Kalahari Long- billed Lark was seen occasionally in 

 the more open parts of the Kalahari, but not in Ngamilaud.

This bird, a freshly-moulted specimen, has the general 

 colour of the plumage of the upper parts much greyer than 

 is usual in A. rvfulus, and in this respect closely resembles 

 A. cainpestris. It has the chest, however, strongly streaked 

 with black. 



The Lesser Tawny Pipit was not uncommon in Ngami- 

 laud on the open grass-flats and cultivated native lands. I 

 have occasionally heard it sing a short but quite melodious 

 song, Avhile perched on some low bush.
