394 Zoology. 



This fine series of Hungarian birds was presented by tlie National 

 Museum after the Ornithological Congress at Budapest, and contained 

 several species of great interest. 



Hunstein (Carl). 



See Gerkakd, E. 

 The expedition of this young naturalist into the Horseshoe range ot 

 the Astrolabe Mountains resulted in the discovery of two magnificent 

 new species of Birds of Paradise (Paradisornis rudolfi and Astrarchia 

 stephanix), as well as a species of Diphyllodes which was called 

 D. hunsteini (cf. Finsch and Meyer, Zeitschr. ges. Orn., II., pp. 369-391, 

 pis. xv.-xsii.), besides other new species. Hunstein was afterwards 

 drowned by a tidal wave in New Biitain. 



Hunter (H. C. V.). 



186 birds from the Teita district and Kilimanjaro in East Africa. 

 Presented. [89, 3. 21, 1-186.] 



10 species were new to the collection, 7 of which were described by 

 Capt. Shelley (P.Z.S., 1889, pp. 356-372, pis. xl., xli.). The new species 

 were Cinnyris hunteri, Batis mixta, Xenocichia nigriceps, X. placida, 

 Alcippe kilimensis [ = Lioptilus abyssinicus], Cisticola hun teri, Zosterops 

 perspicillata. Mr. Hunter was in jiursuit of big-game, but he found time 

 to make an interesting collection of birds for the Museum.

Huttbn {Capt.). 



23 birds and eggs from Kandahar. Presented. [56. 3. 26, 1-23.]

 types of species discovered by Capt, Huttou in Afghanistan, viz., 

 Emheriza huttoni, Blyth, J.A.S. Beng., xviii., p. 811, 1849, Carpodocus

The types of the species of Palxornis described by Capt. Hutton in
