terial from Lorquin, Jr., a dealer in San Francisco, who sent him in- 

 discriminately examples from the Philippines, California and Europe 

 not accurately ticketed as to locality, hence such mistakes as the above, 

 as the real home of tejiia, which is only a synonym of strabo was 

 somewhere in the Philippines or the Dutch East Indies." The re- 

 marks preceding apply equally to monica and cnejus. See Strecker,

International Exposition of Ornithology, Entomology and Botany. 



[An "Exposition Internationale documentaire d"Ornithologie, d"En- 

 tomologie et de Botanique dans leur rapports avec TOrnithologie" has 

 been organized by three of the Ornithological Societies of Belgium. 

 We have received the following statement in regard to it.] 



We have the honour to send you a program of our approaching ex- 

 hibition which will take place from May 3rd, to June ist, 1913, on the 

 premises of the "Palais des Beaux-Arts'' in the town of Liege. This 

 exhibition is of quite a new kind, and believe we can certify that it 

 will prove a great success, considering the adhesions which have al- 

 ready been promised us up to the present. 



We should be very glad if you would take part in it by sending col- 

 lections. As you will observe our field is pretty large and collections 

 of birds, insects, plants, different books, etc., will find a place in it. 

 Knowing all the value that amateurs attach, and rightly, to their col- 

 lections which are sometimes very fragile, we can assure you they 

 will be the object of the greatest care on our part. Besides a vigor- 

 ous watch, being kept day and night in the exhibition, we have con- 

 sidered it wise to assure against the risk of fire. 



We draw the attention of possible exhibitors to the fact that what 

 they send will be admitted in transit and that every facility for sale 

 will be eventually reserved to them. Finally, it is incontestable that 

 professionals and dealers have every advantage in putting themselves 

 before the public by means of an advertisement in our catalogue which 

 will be published on the occasion of this exhibition. This is a novelty 

 in Europe and will contribute to the union of amateurs and profes- 

 sionals. 



We beg to remain, sir, for the Committee, the General Commissary, 

 L. CuisiNiER, a Ans, rue de Bruxelles 155 (Belgique.) 



[The Exposition is stated to have the encouragement of the King 

 and the patronage of the Queen of the Belgians; the Honorary Com- 

 mittee comprises the Minister of Agriculture and Public Works, the 

 Minister of Sciences and Arts, the Governor of the Province and the 

 Mayor of the City of Liege and the Mayor of Verviers, and among 

 other members we note the names of the entomologists MM. Baron 

 Crombrughe de Picquendaele and G. Severin.]
