The examples from Namaqualand are paler and more 
rufous; they agree with those from Deelfontein and with the 
type of the species from Sigonell on the Yaal River. The 
Eastern examples are rather more olivaceous ashy and have 
slightly longer bills ; they may be considered as approaching 
A. sordidus Rupp, of East Africa. 
[Nicholson's Pipit was found in Zululand and the South- 
Eastern and North-Eastern Transvaal, but cannot be said 
to be plentiful. Like A. pyrrhonotus it frequents grass 
country, and it is not easily distinguishable from that 
species. 
The soft parts are: —Trides hazel; bill, upper mandible 
liorn-brown, lower much paler; legs and toes amber- 
brown.]

The examples from Zululand and the Transvaal have 
shorter hind claws and come very near A. p. youldi. 
[This Tawny Pipit was found in the Knysna district, 
Upper Zululand, and the Woodbush Hills of the North- 
Eastern Transvaal. It occurred both singly and in pairs, and 
frequented the open grassy hill-sides. It can run at a good 
speed, but readily flies when disturbed, although seldom 
going far. It is not easily distinguishable in the lt veld ” 
from A. nicholsoni or A. rufulus. 
The soft parts are :—Irides hazel; bill, upper mandible 
horn-brown, lower yellowish brown; legs and toes pale 
brown.]

The Lesser Tawny Pipit was found in Zululaud and the 
South-Eastern and North-Eastern Transvaal. It seems to
