  he 
  had 
  discovered 
  during 
  his 
  recent 
  visit 
  to 
  the 
  

   Dutch 
  West 
  India 
  Islands. 
  He 
  proposed

  Mr. 
  E. 
  BiDWELL 
  exhibited 
  the 
  humerus 
  of 
  a 
  Coot, 
  which 
  

   showed 
  a 
  comminuted 
  fracture 
  afterwards 
  completely 
  healed. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Robert 
  Read 
  made 
  some 
  remarks 
  on 
  the 
  changes 
  of 
  

   plumage 
  in 
  the 
  Black-headed 
  Gull 
  {Larus 
  ridibundus) 
  , 
  and 
  

   exhibited 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  a 
  recently 
  killed 
  specimen 
  which 
  

   clearly 
  proved 
  that 
  the 
  black 
  hood 
  was 
  gained 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  

   by 
  a 
  change 
  of 
  colour 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  feathers 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  by 
  

   a 
  complete 
  moult 
  in 
  others.
