mences with the remainder of the Pipits^ which were left 
unfinished at the close of the second volume (see Ibis^ 1901, 
p. 146) J and then proceeds to the Larks (Alaudidse), which 
are numerous in Africa. Capt. Shelley recognizes 74 
species, which he refers to 16 genera. Here we find two new 
generic terms — Pinarocorys for Alauda nigricans Sund. and 
A. erythropygia Strickl.^ and Botha for B. difficilis, a new 
species from the Orange Hiver Colony based on a single 
specimen in the British Museum. Two new Larks, moreover, 
are Calandrella starki from Damaraland and C. sclateri from 
Great Namaqualand. We agree with Capt. Shelley in 
considering the alleged habitat of Otocorys berlepschi 
(" Caffraria '') very doubtful. 
The rest of the present volume is devoted to the Fringillidsej 
of which 7Q species are recorded as ^Ethiopian. These the 
author divides into two subfamilies — Emberizinse and Frin- 
gillinse. In the latter group Serinus holds a prominent 
place, being represented by 31 species, while Passer with 
18 is also well to the front. 
Fringillaria readi, from Natal, and Serinus marshalli, from 
St. Helena, are described as new species. 
The volume is illustrated by 14 excellent coloured plates, 
drawn by Gronvold, in which the following species are 
figured : — Mirafra gilletti, M. ncevia, M. poecilosterna, M. 
fischeri, M. athi, M. hypermetra, M. inter cedens, M. albicauda^ 
M. buckleyi, M. collaris, Pyrrhulauda nigriceps, Ammomanes 
samharensis, Tephrocorys blanf or di, Botha difficilis, Calandrella 
starki, C. sclateri, Emberiza poliopleura, Fringillaria impetuani, 
Chrysomitris totta, Serinus capistratus, S. hartlaubi, S. albi- 
frons, Poliospiza gularis, P. reichardi. Passer castanopterus, 
P. shelleyi, P. euchlora, and Petronia fiavigula.
