Mr. J. "W. Clark, F.Z.S., exhibited a drawing of a species of 

 Lagenorhynchus lately taken off Ramsgate. 



Mr. Clark described the coloration of the animal, which was a 

 male, nearly if not quite adult ; and showed that it agreed in the 

 main with that of a young Delphinus described by him two years 

 ago, and referred with some doubt to Lagenorhynchus albirostris 

 (P.Z.S. 1876, p. 686). 



Mr. St. G. Mivart, F.R.S., exhibited a figure of a Kestrel (Tin- 

 nunculus alaudarius) shot by the Marquis de Wavrin of Brussels, in 

 the Ardennes, and preserved in his collection there. The bird had 

 on each leg an extra toe, placed very high up, and provided with a 

 long and quite straight and pointed claw. 



The following papers were read : —

 Assistant, Department of Zoology, British Museum.

The present collection was formed by Mr. F. W. Burbidge during 

 a short stay in the Sooloo Islands, a most interesting locality to the 

 ornithologist, and one of which very little is known. In my paper 

 on Dr. Steere's collections from the Philippines, I noticed the four 

 species of birds as yet recorded from the Sooloo Islands 1 , and I ought 

 to have added the common Artamus of the Indo-Malayan region, 

 and a Cuckoo, both recorded by Peale from Mangsi. 



In addition to the birds obtained by Mr. Burbidge, I have received
