Intermediate between striata and semisulcata. The raised oblique 
lines which roughen the posterior side near the beaks where the 
strize have become entirely obsolete, are a striking character in this 
rare species. 
Mr. Fraser exhibited to the Meeting and characterized three new 
species of Birds from the Society’s collection, viz :— 
Patmornis MopEstus. Pal. ptilose viridis ; genis pallide cervinis ; 
vittd a naribus ad oculos viridescenti-nigrd ; mandibulis nigris. 
Hab. ? 
This bird is nearly allied to the P. pondicerianus, but differs in 
the colour of the cheeks, breast and mandibles; it differs also from 
P.. malaccensis in the paler colour of the cheeks, and that colour not 
extending further back than the ears, in the colour of the beak, &c. ; 
it may also be readily distinguished from Mr. Hodgson’s Nepaul spe- 
cies by the colouring of the cheeks. 
Lorius superBus. Lor. capite et tectricibus majoribus inferioribus 
alarum nigris ; genis, lateribus, pectore et uropygio rubris ; 
nuchd, ventre, femore, et tectricibus cuude inferioribus ceruleis ; 
scapulis, tectricibus alarum inferioribus minoribus, et dimidio ter- 
minali caude ceruleis ; alis externis viridibus. 
Hab. P 
This bird is about the size and is closely allied to the Lorius Phi- 
lippensis, Briss., but differs in having the shoulders and smaller 
under wing-coverts blue, the larger ones black (in this respect it 
somewhat resembles the Lorius domicellus, Auct.) ; in the absence of 
the red band immediately below the black crown; and in having an 
entire red band from shoulder to shoulder, whereas in L. Philip- 
pensis it is only partial. 
Larus Briversu. Lar. ptilose griseus ; capite et mento pallidé ci- 
nereis; primariis et secundariis nigris, apicibus secundariarum 
albis, fasciam albam trans alas formantibus ; quibusdam primariis 
apicibus albidis ; vittd nigra lat. 1 poll. prope apices remigum ; 
rostro pedibusque nigris.

From Valparaiso, Chile. Collected by Mr. ‘Thomas Bridges, Corr. 
Memb. 
This apparently new species of Gull is closely allied to the Larus 
fuliginosus, Gould, but differs in the beak being much more slender, 
in the general colour being lighter, in the head and chin being nearly 
white, in having a white band across the wings, and the black band 
across the tail being more decided.
