[§ 2576 0?ie.—\]te\\-ad}i, Transcaspia, 26 May (0. S.), 1892. 

 Prom Mr. Dresser, 1899. 



This is the fellow egg of one which Mr. Dresser kindly allowed me to 

 exhibit at a meeting of the Zoological Society on the 30th November, 1897, 

 and to have figured in its 'Proceedings' for that year (pi. li. fig. 10). He 

 obtained it from Mr. Zarudny, whose excellent observations on this interesting 

 form were published in the ' Bulletin ' of the Imperial Society of Naturalists 

 of Moscow for 1889 (N. S. iii. pp. 4oo-46o, pi. v.), and have been most properly 

 quoted by Mr. Dresser in the ' Supplement' to his 'Birds of Europe ' (pp. 239- 

 243). He was not only kind enough to give me this specimen, but also 

 presented one of two nests he received to the Museum of the University of 

 Cambridge.]

Mr. Biden, now of St. John's College, told me that he got a man

 the man brought down the old bird and three eggs, of which this 

 is one.
