  Mr. 
  H. 
  E. 
  Dresser 
  exhibited 
  on 
  behalf 
  of 
  Mr. 
  John 
  

   Whitehead 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  a 
  Cryptolopha 
  from 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  

   Palawan, 
  which 
  Dr. 
  Sharpe 
  had 
  identified 
  as 
  Cryptolopha 
  

   mantis 
  {cf. 
  ' 
  Ihh/ 
  1888, 
  p. 
  199). 
  Mr. 
  Whitehead, 
  however, 
  

   had 
  proposed 
  to 
  separate 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  Kina-Balu 
  species, 
  on 
  

   account 
  of 
  its 
  yellow 
  rump, 
  and 
  to 
  call 
  it 
  

  

  Cryptolopha 
  xanthopygia, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  Similis 
  C. 
  mantis, 
  sed 
  rostro 
  crassiore 
  et 
  uropygio 
  sulphureo 
  

   distinguenda.

  in 
  montibus 
  insulae 
  Palawanensis. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Seebohm 
  exhibited 
  an 
  egg 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   Knot 
  {Tringa 
  canutus) 
  taken 
  near 
  Disco 
  in 
  Greenland. 
  

  

  A 
  communication 
  was 
  read 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Osbert 
  Salvin, 
  

   F.R.S., 
  on 
  two 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  birds 
  from 
  Nicaragua, 
  as 
  

   follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  ''In 
  a 
  collection 
  of 
  birds 
  recently 
  sent 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  B. 
  

   Richardson 
  from 
  Nicaragua, 
  several 
  interesting 
  species' 
  are 
  

   represented 
  which, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know, 
  have 
  not 
  hitherto 
  been 
  

   noticed 
  in 
  Nicaragua. 
  Thus 
  we 
  find 
  Thryophilus 
  costari- 
  

   censis, 
  the 
  Costa- 
  Rican 
  form 
  of 
  T. 
  castaneus, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  T. 
  tho- 
  

   racicus 
  and 
  Thryothorus 
  atrigularis, 
  both 
  of 
  which, 
  however 
  

   have 
  been 
  noticed 
  at 
  Greytown. 
  Skins 
  of 
  a 
  Cyphorhinus 
  

   from 
  Santo 
  Domingo, 
  in 
  Chontales, 
  differ 
  from 
  C. 
  lawrencii 
  

   and 
  may 
  be 
  described 
  as 
  

  

  -*" 
  "Cyphorhinus 
  richardsoni, 
  sp.

  " 
  S 
  C.

  sed 
  supra 
  pallidior,
