Hab. Mt. Dulit, Sarawak, 4000 feet (C. Hose). 



The describer pointed out that the true jR. loti(/irostris is 

 also found in Borneo, as exanaplcs had been obtained by 

 Mr. Alfred Everett at Marup and Busan in Sarawak. These 

 specimens are identical with others from the Malay Peninsula 

 and Sumatra, and it is evident that R. dulitensis is a moun- 

 tain-form of R. lonyiroatns. 



Capt. G. E. Shelley called attention to the fact that 

 Crithagra rendaUi of Tristram, recently described in the 

 ' Ibis,' was, in all probability, the same as C. crassirostris of 

 Peters, described from Mozambique. Peters published only 

 a short and somewhat vague description of the latter species ; 

 but, while agreeing with Dr. Bowdler Sharpe that C. mosam- 

 bica, described by Peters at the same time, was referable to 

 C. ictera, Capt. Shelley thought it hardly likely that he would 

 have described the latter species twice over in the same paper. 

 A comparison of the types was desirable, and the attention 

 of Dr. Reichenow was called to this suggestion. 



Mr. W, E. De Winton exhibited some very large specimens 

 of the Common Guillemot {Uria troile) which had been 

 obtained off the Yorkshire coast during the recent severe 

 weather, and Mr. Ogilvie-Grant also drew attention to a 

 singularly large individual procured near Cromarty, N.B. 



Mr. II. J. Pearson brought for exhibition some clutches of 

 the eggs of the Harlequin Duck {Cosmonetta histnonica) , the 

 Long- tailed Duck {Harelda glacialis), and the Red-necked 

 Phalarope {Phalaropus hyperboreus), procured by him during 

 the past summer in Iceland. The eggs of the Ducks were 

 beautifully arranged on the down ; a method of exhibition 

 much admired by the Members present. 



Mr. F. GiLLETT made some remarks on his recent travels 

 through Somali-land to the Galla country, when he accom- 

 panied Dr. Donaldson Smith's expedition. 



Dr. Bowdler Sharpe announced that the first collections 

 from Dr. Donaldson Smith's expedition had just arrived in
