Mr. OsBERT Salvin, F.R.S., sent some photographs of a 

 specimen of an Albatros in the Peterhead Museum, which 

 had been forwarded to him by Mr. J. A. Harvie-Brown. 

 Mr. Salvin identified the species as Diomedea melanophrys. 



Mr. P. L. Sclater, F.R.S. , exhibited a skin oi Falco punicus, 

 which had been captured at sea in the Mediterranean, 

 south of Crete, in June last, by Mr. Arthur Sclater, on his 

 passage home from Ceylon, and brought alive to England. 



Mr. Sclater called attention to the recently published 

 work on the birds of the Balkan States, Bulgaria, Eastern 

 Roumelia, and the Dobrudscha (' Materialen zu einer Ornis 

 Balkanica'), by Othmar Reiser, Custos of the Landes-Mu- 

 seum in Sarajevo, which contained a mass of information on 

 the ornithology of one of the least-known portions of Europe, 

 and would be of special interest to students of the Palae- 

 arctic Ornis. Mr. Sclater had just received a letter from the 

 author, who stated that he had found the Snow- Finch 

 {Montifringilla nivalis) nesting on some of the highest 

 mountains in Greece (Riona, 2500 metres, and theKorax).
