The call is the usual Canary note, and the males besides 
have a rather sweet song of a few notes. 
The soft parts are:—Irides hazel; bill dusky horn- 
coloured, lower mandible somewhat paler ; legs and toes 
dusky brown, slightly paler in the female.]

[Since the Central Cape Colony trip I have only found 
this Seed-eater in Namaqualand, where it was fairly plentiful. 
It was observed singly or in pairs, and frequented gardens 
and veld near water. It feeds largely upon various seeds 
and grains. 
The soft parts are:—Irides hazel ; bill, upper mandible 
palish horn-coloured, lower fleshy; legs and toes blackish.]

The soft parts are :—Irides hazel ; bill, upper mandible 
pale horn-brown, lower fleshy horn-coloured; legs and toes 
fleshy brown.]

This bird should, in my opinion, be placed among the

it in the British Museum. The types of Serinus rendalli from 
Barberton are in the Liverpool Museum, and I know of no
