    I've usually seen it as treble clef, but I think third horn parts are sometimes on bass clef.

    tls is correct.

    The French Horn is mainly a treble clef instrument, though it does frequently play in bass clef, because it has the widest range of any brass instrument. Modern practice is to keep the horn as an F instrument in both treble and bass clefs even though that violates the conventional rule about bass clef transpositions.
