120 BIRDS OF DAMABA LAND. 



Damara Land on the 11th of October contained two 

 eggs rather hard sat on ; the nest was situated in a 

 dabbe bush, and was composed of twigs and grass exter- 

 nally, lined internally with finer grass. 



The iris in this species is a rather pale yellowish red, 

 and the skin round the eye bright orange ; the bill 

 black, the legs and toes dark shiny brown.
