1882.] THE SECRETARY ON A SKIN OF EMBERIZA RUSTICA. 721 



Mr. Sclater exhibited some photopraphs of the new Zebra, lately- 

 named Eqnus yrevyi by M. A. Milne-Edwards', F.M.Z.S., which 

 had been sent to him by that gentleman, and pointed out the dif- 

 ferences which separate this animal from the nearly allied E. zebra. 



The single specimen of E. grevyi yet received in Europe had been 

 sent alive by King Menelek of Shoa to the President of the French 

 Republic, and deposited in the Jardin des Plantes, where, however, 

 it had unfortunately lived but a short time.

Mr. Sclater added that Dr. Hartlauh had informed him that his 

 correspondent, Dr. Emin Bey, Governor of the Equatorial provinces 

 of Egypt, spoke of having met with great numbers of the " true 

 Zebra " in Lattako. This " true Zebra " would doubtless turn out 

 to be E. grevyi. 



The Secretary exhibited, on behalf of Lord Lilford, F.Z.S., a skin 

 of Emberiza rustica, and read the following letter on the subject : — 



" On the morning of November 20 last, I received a small 

 Bunting, the bird now exhibited, from Mr. Burton of Wardour Street, 



' See ' La !^ature,' No. 470 (3 Juin 1882).
