Dr. BowDLER Sharpe stated that a recent examination of 

 the type oi Brady ornis woodwardi from Natal had convinced 

 him that it was only an example of Sylvia simplex { = S. hor- 

 tensis, auctt.) in greenish plumage. The specimen in question 

 had a somewhat abnormally shaped bill, which made it look 

 like a Bradyornis, and, moreover, the plumage did not 

 resemble that of any specimen of S. simplex with which 

 it had been compared. The greenish plumage must be that 

 of the freshly moulted bird in its winter-quarters, and 

 therefore in a stage not seen in European examples. 



Mr. Henry Seebohm described a new species of Eagle- Owl 

 from Sidemi, in the Ussuri country, E. Siberia. The type 

 specimen had been obtained by Kalinowski, and presented by 

 the Warsaw Museum to the British Museum, where it had 

 hitherto been identified with Bube blakistoni. Mr. Seebohm 

 proposed to call it 



Bubo doerriesi, sp. n. 

 Similis B. blakistoni, sed plaga nuchali alba magna facile 

 distinguendus. Long. tot. 25 poll., alae 20*5, tarsi 3*2. 



A second specimen had been procured by Mr. Doerries
