Mr. Wingers report on the birds obtained and observed at 

 the Danish lighthouses in 1897 is drawn up on the ruethodical 

 plan adopted in former papers on this subject [of. 'Ibis/ 1897, 

 p. 624) . In 1897, 611 specimens of 59 different species were 

 forwarded from 30 lighthouses to the Zoological JMuseum of 

 Copenhagen. The report contains full particulars as to the 

 dates and modes of their occurrence. The species most 

 numerously represented at the lighthouses in 1897 were the 

 Skylark, Alauda arvensis (over 300 examples), and the Song- 

 Tlirush, Turdus musicus (193 examples).

We have received the following letters, addressed " to the 

 Editors of 'The Ibis'^':— 



Sirs, — It may be of some interest to your readers to learn 

 that a male of Sasia everetti was captured by my Dyak collector 

 some weeks ago. As this example differs in some particulars 

 from the figure and description of a specimen, Avhich is 

 probably a female, published in the Cat. B. M. vol. xviii. 

 p. 559, I append a short account of it : — 



Above olive, very dai'k on the crown; rump and scapulars 

 tipped with orange-rufous ; chin, malar region, nasal plumes, 

 and throat orange-rufous ; breast dusky olive, with a few 

 orange-rufous feathers admixed, increased in number on the 

 belly, where they almost entirely conceal the dusky olive 

 wing- and tail-coverts, as in female. Total length (in milli- 

 metres) 80; culmen 11; wing 51; tarsus 13; toes — outer 

 anterior 11, inner anterior 6, posterior li'5.
