33. Serinus affinis. Streaked-brown Canary. 
Serinus affinis Richmond. 
Iris brown; bill and feet brown. 
A female of this species was obtained at Naivasha on 
March 14th. I believe it is supposed to be rather a common 
bird there, but, so far as I know, I never saw another 
example. 
34. Serinus fagani. Fagan’s Canary. 
Serinus fagani Sharpe. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs dusky black. 
Fagan’s Canary seemed to be distributed everywhere. 
Specimens were obtained at the Athi River and on the 
Kapiti Plains. They were generally seen in pairs or small 
flocks on the dried-up grassy plains. 
35. Emberiza flaviventris. Golden-breasted Bunting. 
Emberiza flaviventris (Bonn. & V.). 
Iris brown; bill dark brown; legs brown. 
We found the Golden-breasted Bunting at Bondoni on 
March 4-th; it was not very common and was invariably seen 
amongst wooded country, generally perching on stones and 
rocks in preference to boughs. 
36. Fringillaria tahapisi. Rock-Bunting. 
Fringillaria tahapisi (Smith). 
Iris brown ; bill and legs brown. 
I found the Rock-Bunting fairly abundant on the Athi 
Plains, but never very far from water : it was generally 
quite tame and fearless. 
37. Pyrrhulauda leucoparia. Fischer’s Sparrow-Lark. 
Pyrrhulauda leucopareia Fischer & Reichen. 
Fischer’s Sparrow-Lark was only seen near the Athi 
River in February: it was generally in pairs and was often 
observed in the evenings sitting near some track or on the 
sandy plain, perhaps a mile from the river. 
38. Mira fra athi. Athi Lark. 
Mirafra athi Hartert. 
Iris yellow, in immature birds brown ; bill and feet brown.
