by Mr. Claude Grant in South Africa. 
Unlike tlie other South African members of the genus, it 
usually perches on trees and bushes, and is not necessarily 
found in rocky situations. At the Klein Letaba it was 
commonly seen in the late afternoon drinking at the river 
in company with Finches and Sparrows, flying up to the 
trees after quenching its thirst, and cleaning and preening 
its feathers in the last rays of the sun. The call is very 
similar to that of F. capensis. 
The soft parts are :—Irides rich hazel; bill, upper mandible 
dark horn-coloured, lower yellow ; legs and toes yellowish 
horn-coloured.]

[After the Central Cape Colony trip this little Rock- 
Bunting was only found in Namaqualand, where it was 
not plentiful, and in the North-Eastern Transvaal, where 
a pair were observed on a rock-strewn hill-side near Wood- 
bush village, in June 1905. Like F. capensis it frequents 
rocky localities, and I have never seen it perch on trees or 
bushes. 
The soft parts are:—Irides hazel; bill slaty; legs and 
toes fleshy.] 
107. Eremopteryx vertjcalis.

[This little Lark was only found in Namaqualand, where 
it was by no means plentiful; it was observed in small flocks 
in sandy country. When disturbed the whole flock 
rises, most of them uttering a short note, but never going 
far. It is a sociable and tame little bird, being often seen 
within a few yards of outbuildings. 
The soft parts are:—Irides brown or grey-brown; bill 
pearly white; legs and toes fleshy white.] 
108. Eremopteryx smithi. 
Tv. Pietersburg, Feb., Mch. (11) ; F. Tete, Aug. (3). 
[Smith's Lark was first noted in the North-Eastern 
Transvaal, where numbers made their appearance (Feb. 23) 
during the latter half of the rainy season on the open sandy
