Rajendra Mullick of Calcutta, and mentioned by Mr. Blyth* as 
having “a yellow throat, a single yellow throat-wattle, and a long 
stripe of naked yellow skin down each side of the neck.” I have 
not yet received Mr. Blyth’s published description of this bird. 
5. Casuarius bicarunculatus, a name I propose to apply to a Cas- 
sowary of which I have recently obtained a young example for the 
Society in exchange from the Zoological Gardens at Rotterdam. It 
‘is easily distinguishable by the throat-caruncles being placed far 
apart on the sides of the throat, lighter colouring, &c. As the bird 
itself will shortly arrive in this country, I hope to be able to give full 
particulars concerning this new species at the next Meeting of the 
Society. 
IV. Dromzvs. 
At a Meeting of this Society in May last+, Mr. Bartlett gave us 
some indications of the existence of a second species of Emeu in 
South Australia, and proposed to call it Dromeus irroratus. Ihave 
lately had the pleasure of examining two specimens of this Emeu in 
Holland. One of these, now in the Gardens of the Zoological Society 
of Amsterdam, was brought from Albany in Western Australia, and 
thus renders it probable that the Spotted Emeu is the western repre- 
sentative of the D. nove hollandie. The second, now in the Zoo- 
logical Gardens at Rotterdam, I have obtained by exchange for this 
Society ; and, as we may hope to see it in our own Gardens in a few 
days alongside the Eastern species, I reserve further notice of it 
until I have had a more satisfactory opportunity for its examination. 
It thus appears that there are some grounds for supposing that 
the species of Struthionide now in existence may amount to not less 
than fourteen or fifteen in number. 
2. Notes on a Seconp CoLLEecTION oF MAMMALIA MADE BY 
Mr. FrAseR In THE REPUBLIC oF Ecuapor. By Ropert 
F. Tomes. 
Since my previous notes on the Mammals collected by Mr. Fraser 
at Gualaquiza (P. Z. S. 1858, p. 546), a considerable number of 
specimens have been received from him, many of them of great in- 
terest. The following is a list of the species transmitted. The 
greater portion of these are believed to have been collected at Palla- 
tanga, on the western slope of the Cordillera; but the exact locality 
is not certain, from the specimens having been unfortunately mixed 
together.
