P. griseiceps, another very distinct subspecies of which is 

 P.jobiensis, Salvad. 



Cyclopsittacus inseparabilis, sp. n. 



Mr. A. S, Meek has sent a fine series of a new Cyclo- 

 psittacus from Sudest Island^ in which the sexes are alike in 

 coloration^ and resemble very much the female of Cyclo- 

 psittacus virago, Hartert^ from Fergusson Island, except that 

 the sides of the head are green and not bluish as in the 

 female of C. virago. In the latter species the sexes are 

 widely different. 



Mr. Ogilvie Grant exhibited on behalf of Mr. J. D, 

 La Touche an example of a new species of Short-wing : — 



Brachypteryx caroliNjE La Touche, sp. n. 



Adult male. Very similar to the adult female of S. nipa- 

 lensis, the chest and fore-neck being largely mixed, with 

 white. Total length 5*2 inches, culmen 0*48, wing 3"45, 

 tail \'b, tarsus 1*1. 



Adult female. Differs from the male in having the white 

 eyebrow-stripe nearly obsolete, and the fore-neck and chest 

 nearly uniform pale ochraceous-brown. Total length 5 inches, 

 culmen 0*45, wing 2*3, tail 1'35, tarsus 1"1. 



As in B. nipalensis, the bill is relatively slender; in the 

 closely allied B. leucophrys, from Java and Lombok, the bill 

 is stouter and the upper parts darker.

Mr. Ogilvie Grant exhibited on behalf of Mr. C. B. 

 Rickett the type of a new species of Warbler : — 



LusciNioLA melanorhyncha Rickctt, sp. n. 



Adult male. Nearest to L. russula (Slater), but at once 

 distinguished by its black bill, differently shaped wing, longer 

 tail, and darker colour, especially on the sides, flanks, and 

 under tail-coverts, which are brown instead of pale buff. 

 The 2nd primary considerably shorter than the 10th, the 5th 

 slightly longer than 4th and 6th. Total length 5*5 inches, 

 culmen 0*4, wing 2, tail 2'3, tarsus 0"75.
