In addition to the coUections already referred to, Mr. Keith Abbott 

 presented at the šame time to tlie Society a " cock and two hens of 

 the Foivls of Herat in Khorassaun, a breed which is," he believes, 

 " unknown in Europe. They are young birds of the real Herat race." 

 These, it was stated, are apparently identical with the Kulm Fowl of 

 Dukhun and the Malay Fowl, the Gailus giganteus, Temm.
