The following papers were read :— 
1. Description or Two New AvstTRALiAN Birps. 
By Joun Gov tp, Esa., F.R.S., etc. 
1. MAaLurvs 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 53 inches; bill}; wing 2; tail 32; tarsi 1. 
Hab. Interior of Australia ; 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, ramp, and under tail-coverts black ; stripe over the 
eye, ear-coyerts, sides of the face, throat, and under surface delicate 
vinous grey; two middle tail-feathers black, the remainder black
