A VALUABLE COLECTION FOR SALE. 



The Honorary Secretary drew the attention of the members to the valuable 

 collection of Indian Birds' Eggs made by the late Lieut- H, E, Barnes, author 

 of " The Birds of Bombay," &c., which was now for sale. It consisted of 

 several thousand eggs of 767 species, mostly in clutches, collected by Lieute- 

 nant Barnes during the last twenty years ; together with a complete catalogue 

 and carefully prepared notes as to when and where the eggs were taken. 

 There were also 382 skins of Indian birds in excellent preservation.

The following interesting papers were then read and discussed :— (1) The 

 Indian Wild Buffalo, by J, D. Inverarity ; (2) Notes on the " Tsaing, or 

 Banting {Bos sondaicus), by Vet. -Capt, G. H, Evans ; (3) The Birds of the 

 Ruby Mine District, by E. W. Gates ; (4) Further Notes on Man-eating Tigers, 

 by Reginald Gilbert ; (5) The Cashew-nut, by Surg.-Major K, R. Kirtikar. 



The Honorary Secretary stated that the papers which had just been read 

 would appear in the Society's Journal No. I of Vol, X, which would be pub- 

 lished in about a fortnight, together with No. 5 of Vol, IX. 



The meeting then ended with a vote of thanks to the authors of the papers.
