successful bird-collector, and we have here an account of 

 the many specimens that he has recently obtained for the 

 Tring Museum in various localities in the Eastern Archi- 

 pelago. In Eastern Java, south of Surabaya, where Mount 

 Arjuno was ascended, examples of 24 species were collected, 

 among which was a new genus and species of Timeliidje — 

 Stasiasticus mantis. [Mr. Rothschild here establishes in a 

 footnote a new genus for the so-called Sphenoeaci of New 

 Zealand, which he proposes to call Boivdleria. No exact 

 type of this genus is mentioned.] From Java, Mr. Doherty 

 proceeded to Bali, and obtained examples of 94 species, of 

 which a list is now given — being the first list of the birds of 

 this island, where Wallace (the only previous visitor) stayed 

 but two days. Mr. Hartert describes as new Gracupica 

 tertia, Rhinomyias pectoralis baliensis, Carpophaga williami, 

 and Ptilonopus albocinctus baliensis. The avifauna of Bali 

 is essentially Javan, but it is now certain that a Ptilotis 

 [P. limbata) occurs there, and that Cockatoos are occasionally 

 found in the south-eastern peninsula of the island. There 

 is no question, therefore, of some Australian elements being 

 present in Bali. 



Crossing Wallace's Line, Mr. Doherty arrived at Lombok, 

 and made a good collection of birds here too, during a fort- 

 night's stay. Mr. Hartert refers them to 64 species. Of 

 these Geocichla dohertyi, Chlorura intermedia, and Carpophaga 

 sasakensis are characterized as new. It is a great satisfaction 

 to have discovered the real home of Trichog/ossus mitchelli, 

 which was originally described from a specimen living in the 

 Zoological Society^s Gardens. Mr. Doherty collected a large 

 series of this beautiful Lory in the hills of Lombok. 



Sambawa, Mr. Doherty's next stopping-place, is a still 

 more interesting locality ; the birds being previously known 

 only from a few specimens obtained long ago by Forster, 

 and from a short visit paid to it by Dr. Guillemard during 

 the voyage of the ' Marchesa.' Mr. Doherty visited two 

 stations, and obtained examples of 65 species. Of these 

 Lojjho zoster ops (gen. nov.) dohertyi and Macropygia ruficeps 

 orientalis are described as new.
