138. Anthus chloris. 
Tv, Wakkerstroom, Mch. (4). 
One specimen, dated March 16, is in full breeding-dress; 
of the others, two are young birds with the tails only just 
sprouting, while the fourth, dated March 2, is probably a 
freshly moulted bird. 
[This Pipit was only found in the South-Eastern Trans¬ 
vaal, where it was not uncommon on the open grassy hill-sides 
and flats. It is rather a skulker, running with considerable 
celerity and, except when hard pressed, not taking to the wing. 
The flight is very similar to that of the European Meadow- 
Pipit [A. pratensis). It apparently breeds in the summer 
season, as young birds, both fully and half fledged, were 
taken in March. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill, legs and toes 
horn-brown. In the young the bill, legs and toes are much 
paler.] 
139. Anthus lineiventris. 
Tv, Woodbush, May, June (2). 
A rare species in South Africa. 
[The two birds sent are the only examples I have ever 
seen of this Pipit. They were shot among some rocks on a 
recently burnt hill-side. They were tame, and when disturbed 
merely ran off from one rock to another, and uttered no 
call. In appearance and actions this bird greatly resembles 
A. crenatus. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill, upper mandible 
horn-brown, lower pale horn-coloured; legs and toes amber- 
yellow.] 
140. Anthus crenatus. 
Tv. Wakkerstroom, Mch. (2). 
Also a rare species, hitherto supposed to be confined to 
Cape Colony. It has been recorded from the Cape Division, 
Deelfontein, Burghersdorp, and Colesberg, but the present 
examples extend its range considerably further to the north¬ 
east. 
[The pair secured are the only examples I have seen since
