Snowy Range, explored by the B. O. U. expedition of 1909- 

 1911, and are ap[)roached from Geelvink Bay. Here between 

 October 1920 and January 1921 the three brothers Pratt, 

 sons of Mr. A. E. Pratt, made large collections of butter- 

 flies for Mr. J. J. Joicey, and at the same time obtained a 

 number of bird-skins of very considerable interest which 

 Lord Rothschild has here described. No fewer than twenty- 

 two species of Paradise-birds were obtained, and a fine 

 series of Pteridophora alberti including young males and 

 adult females, hitherto unknown. Another bird of much 

 interest jn the collection is the Black Lory, Charmosijna 

 atrata. Lord Rothsciiild cannot make up his mind whether 

 it is a melanistic Form of C. stellce or a distinct species. 

 Only one new race is described — Melirrhophetes belfordi 

 ■hictyi.

It is a great pleasure to receive another paper from our 

 venerable Honorary Member, Count Salvadori. It contains 

 a list of 34 species of Birds collected by Dr. Festa himself 

 in April and May, 1921, in the Italian Colony of Cyrenaica, 

 or Tripoli as it is perhaps better known. Sixteen species 

 are added to the avifauna, including Passer domesticus, 

 Circaetus gallicus, Phosnicop terns roseus, and Cursorius 

 gallicus. The collections were all made at Bengazi or not 

 very far away from that place.
