a. Serinus bendalli. 



I shot a bird exactly corresj)on(;lino" with the description 

 of this species, but unfortunately could not preserve the 

 specimen. I saw in Johannesburg two other examples of 

 the same bird, but it is rare here. 



4. Pyrrhulauda vertioalis. 



This bird I met with near Hanover, Cape Colony. 



5. Pyrrhulauda australis. 



This species is common round Pretoria. 



6. Anthus trivialis. 



I obtained a male example of the Tree-pij)it at Irene on 

 December 12th, 1903, and another on the 18th of January, 

 1904. 



The last record I can find of this species south of the 

 Zambesi is that of Jameson in 1880. 



7. ACROCEPHALUS PHRAGMITIS. 



Of this rare migrant (so far south) I obtained a single 

 specimen at Irene on January 4th, 1904. 



8. CORACIAS MOSAMBICUS. 



I obtained a single example of this Roller near Barberton. 



9. Iynx ruficollis. 



I shot an example of this Wryneck at Irene on February 

 10th, 1904, and saw another in September, 1904. It is 

 rare, but I think it is resident in the Transvaal all through 

 the year. 



8. Indicator minor. 



I have obtained this bird at Irene. I am not aware that 

 it has been previously recorded from the Transvaal. 



9. Barbatula extoni. 



I found this Barbet common near Barberton, on the 

 Crocodile River.
