This species is common in the neighbourhood of 

 the Okavango, and is also found in Damara Land, ex- 

 tending to the south of that country. On January 5th, 

 1867, I found a nest of this Finch at Omapju ; it 

 was situated in a kamel-thorn bush, about four feet 

 above the ground, and was composed of grass, lined 

 with softer grass internally; it contained three eggs 

 much incubated.

[Mr. R. B. Sharpe possesses a specimen of this Finch, ob- 

 tained by Mr. Andersson in Damara Land ; but unfortunately 

 no record has been preserved of the exact locality where it was 

 obtained^ and I do not find any reference to it in Mr. Andersson's 

 MS. notes. — Ed.J
