" Birds Collected in the Island of Polillo, Philippine Islands." 

 R. C. M'Gregor. (Presented by the author.) 

 One hundred and one species were obtained on this island, of 

 which three are described as new. The avifauna is nearly related 

 to that of the adjacent large island of Luzon, though many genera 

 found on the larger island are not represented on Polillo. 



" A Few Rare Birds from Luzon, Mindanao, and Mindoro." 

 V. T. Zimmer. (Presented by the author.) 

 Notes on the more interesting birds met with during the years

 new. Mr. Zimmer is now agricultural expert in the Territory of 

 Papua, and has recently been appointed local correspondent of 

 the R.A.O.U. for that region. We hope that he will contribute 

 notes on the birds he meets with in New Guinea to future numbers 

 of The Emu.
