Abstract
Karoo Prinia (Prinia maculosa) and Drakensberg Prinia (Prinia hypoxantha) from various localities in South Africa and Lesotho were studied. Biometric data were obtained mainly during ringing studies. Karoo Prinia biometrics were analysed at subspecies level (P. m. maculosa, P. m. exultans, P. m. psammophila).
