 reference to those described by him from the Timor-

 F.R.G.S. 



[Eeceived June 12, 1884.] 



Through Dr. Meyer's kindness I have had the pleasure of 

 perusing his interesting jiaper, read at the International Ornitho- 

 logical Congress lately held in Vienna, entitled " Neue und unge- 

 niigend bekannte Vofjel, Nester mid Eier aus dem Ostindischen 

 Archipel im Konigl. Zoologischen Museum zu Dresden," and pro- 

 pose to offer a few remarks on those species which he notices from 

 the Tinior-Laut group of Islands.
