except on the centre of the abdomen and under tail-coverts. 
It most nearly resembles the female of S. flaviventris, but 
differs in its plain and not yellow rump, and very yellow 
tail.

The Cape Canary was noted from the Cape Peninsula 
(where, however, it was not plentiful), Zululand, and the 
South-Eastern and North-Eastern Transvaal. At Wakker- 
stroom in S.E. Transvaal several large flocks, apparently of 
young birds only, were observed during March ; six of these 
were obtained and are birds in first plumage, just beginning 
to assume the adult feathering. This Canary is usually 
observed in pairs, except after the young are fledged. It 
frequents the edges of woods and forests, plantations, and 
gardens. The males have a sweet and prolonged song, and 
the usual call-note is a mellow (e sweet.”

The brown streaks on the back vary a good deal in 
development; doubtless, as the plumage wears, they become 
more marked. 
[_“ Nqabe” of Zulus. 
This large Canary was only found in the Knysna district 
and Zululand. In the Knysna it frequents the more open 
parts of the forest regions. In Zululand it was only noted 
in the thorn- and euphorbia-covered flats around the Umfolosi 
Station. I have always seen it singly, and the males were 
often observed sitting on the tops of trees, giving vent 
to a loud and prolonged song. At other times they were 
seen feeding on the seeds of grass and wild plants. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel ; bill, upper mandible 
pale horn-brown, lower yellowish horn-coloured; legs and 
toes horn-brown.]
