The yellow bar on the wing was also less distinct in this form. 

 This was the P. finschi o£ A. B. Meyer, although the characters 

 given by him for its distinction were apparently not the most 

 striking. Mr. Rothschild had a number of specimens of it 

 collected by the late Mr. Kubary and Captains Webster and 

 Cotton. 



Mr. Ernst Hartert exhibited the second known specimen 

 of a rare Humming-Bird (lolama luminosa, Elliot) , the type 

 of which, hitherto unique, was in the British Museum. 



Mr, E. Hartert also exhibited a remarkable variety of the 

 Waxwing {Ampelis garrulus) from Lapland, with the wax- 

 like tips to the secondaries yellow instead of red. 



Mr. E. LoRT Phillips exhibited some specimens of birds 

 collected by him during his recent trip to the Goolis IMoun- 

 tains in Somalilaud. Among the interesting species obtained 

 by him were the following : — Hyphantornis spekii, Irania 

 gutturalis, Ruiicilla seminfa, Monticola rufocinerea, Zosterops 

 habessinica, Anthus sordidus, Mirafra gilletti, Sylvia blanfordi, 

 S. nana, Burnesia somalica, Lophoceros mediann, and Pternistes 

 infuscatus. 



He described the following species as new to science : —
