The number of species exhibited at the piesent and former Meet- 

 ings, which were considered to have been hitherto undescribed, 

 amounted to sixty. To these weie added the follovving species, \vhich, 

 although previously described, had either remained unfigured, or had 

 not been figured with sufficient accuracy for the present statė of 

 science, or which had been figured elsewhere duiing the progress of 

 the work ; viz. Falco Chicquera, Daud. ; Otus Bengalensis, Franklin 

 (' Proceedings,' No. X. p. 115.); Muscipeta peregrina, S & 9 

 CAnclosoma leucoloplium ; Pitia brachyura ; Cinclus Pallasii, Temm 

 Pica erylhrorhyncha, Wagl.; Pica vagabunda, Wagl.; Pica Sinensis 

 Hardvv, & Giay ; Buceros cavatus, Shaw ; Bucco grandis, Gmel. 

 Picus Mahrattensis, Lath. <J & P ; Vinago militaris, Cuv. (J & P 

 Lophophorus Impeyamis, Cuv. (J & P ; Tragopan Satyrus, Cuv. 

 Phasianus Pucrasia, Hardw. & Gray, (J & P; Perdix Chucar, Hardw. 

 & Gray; Parra Sinensis, Gmel.; Vunellus Goensis; Anser Indicus. 



The foregoing species completed the series of the Himalayan col- 

 lection vvhich had originally formed the basis of the ' Century of 

 Birds.' Ali of these, Mr. Vigors observed, had been most liberally 

 presented by Mr. Gould to the Society, and were deposited in the 

 Museum as authentic types of the species figured in that work. To 

 these species were added a fevv others from the šame locality, which 

 the liberality of their owners allowed to be exhibited lo the Com- 

 mittee, and to be made use of for the benefit of science. Among them 

 were the following species, which had been kindly communicated by 

 Dr. Scouler of the Glasgovv University.
