Mr. Fraser communicated to the Meeting the following descrip- 
tions of new species of Birds, constituting part of the collection he 
had formed in the Niger expedition :— 
Pelecanus rufescens, Gmel., vol. i. part 2. p.571. sp. 13; Lath. 
Gen. Hist., vol. x. p. 404. sp. 8; Rupp. Atlas, vol. ii. taf. 21. 
This specimen was killed at Egga, in which place it was seen in 
large flocks in the month of October. This was the highest point to 
which the Niger expedition ascended. The specimen in question 
was killed by the late W. C. Willie, Esq., mate of H.M.S.V. Albert, 
and presented to Mr. Fraser by Lieut. J. W. Fairholme, R.N., of 
the same expedition.
