Ornithaloyists' Club. 203 



1st January of this year, by the margin of a stream on the 

 west side of the island of Colonsay. Having been forwarded 

 in the flesh to Edinburgh and identified by Mr. Clarke, it is 

 now in the Scottish National collection, in the Museum of 

 Science and Art in that city. The closing week of December 

 last had been remarkable for a succession of south-westerly 

 gales. This was the second recorded occurrence of this 

 Petrel in European seas ; and it was interesting to nute that 

 the first record was also for the west coast of Britain, namely, 

 at Walney Island, in Morecambe Bay, where a specimen 

 was washed ashore dead in November 1890. 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier exhibited a hybrid between the 

 Pheasant and Black Grouse and a curious spangled variety 

 of the Common Partiidge. 



The Club passed resolutions of sympathy with the family 

 of Herr Gaetke on the death of that eminent ornithologist, 

 and with Mr. J. A. Harvie- Brown on the loss of the orni- 

 thological collections at Dunipace by fire.
