Dr. Giinther requested the assistance of the Fellows of the Society 

 and their friends in furnishing him with series of specimens of our 

 native Salmons and Trouts from every part of the British islands, 

 stating that in this difficult group of fishes no certain conclusions 

 could be arrived at without a large number of specimens for com- 

 parison. Dr. Giinther exhibited the subjoined table as giving a list

Description of Two New Australian Birds. 

 By John Gould, Esa., F.R.S., etc. 



1. Malurus leuconotus. 



The entire head, neck, under surface, rump, and tail deep blue ; 

 back, shoulders, greater and lesser wing-coverts, and secondaries silky 

 white ; primaries brown ; bill black ; feet brownish black. 



Total length 5\ inches ; bill \ ; wing 2 ; tail 3^ ; tarsi ^. 



Hab. Interior of iVustralia ; precise locality unknown. 



Remark. — In size this new species is very similar to M. Lamberti, 

 while in its colouring it assimilates to M. leucopterus ; from both, 

 however, it may be at once distinguished by the whiteness of its 

 back, which has suggested the specific name I have assigned to it. 



2. Artamus melanops. 



Lores, face, rump, and under tail-coverts black ; stripe over the 

 eye, ear-coverts, sides of the face, throat, and under surface delicate 

 vinous grey; two middle tail-feathers black, the remainder black
