An adult male in full dress and a male and female not in full 

 dress of this new species of tliree-tocd Flamingo were obtained 

 by Rahmer at Sitana, at a height of about 12,000 feet, at the foot 

 of the Volcano Tsluga. In a letter announcing this discovery, Mr. 

 Rahmer has proposed to call the species "jamesi," a name which I 

 adopt with great pleasure.
