north coast, while Mr. Stresemann travelled right across 

 the centre of the island, reaching an elevation of 6500 ft. 

 in the central district; and no doubt it is owing to his having 

 been able to penetrate into the interior of the island that he 

 has been able to make such large additions to the avifauna. 



A considerable number of new subspecific forms are 

 described not only from Bali but from some of the other 

 Malayan islands. Perhaps the most interesting is a new 

 subspecies of Phylloscopus (P. borealis examinandus^ which 

 winters in the southern islands from Bali to Flores and 

 Sumba, while the typical form which breeds on Lake Baikal 

 goes to the Philippines, Celebes, and the Moluccas. The 

 interesting new Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi) described 

 last year in the Bulletin of the Club is figured, as is also 

 Gracupica tertia, obtained previously by Doherty and des- 

 cribed by Hartert, which is found both iu Bali and Lombok. 



A very interestiag table at the end of the paper, giving 

 the distribution of the Bali birds eastwards and westwards, 

 shows very plainly how marked a break occurs between Bali 

 and Lombok, and how few species seem to have been able 

 to spread across Wallace's line. 



The third paper deals with a less interesting collection of 

 birds from Mysol, in the Moluccas, which has been visited 

 by a good many collectors since Wallace^s time. Here 

 Dr. Tauern, a member of the expedition, spent from August 

 to October 1911 and obtained examples of 71 species, four 

 of which were new to the island and one a new subspecies. 

 Tiie fauna of this island is fairly uniformly distributed, as 

 the elevation of the highest part of the interior does not 

 exceed 900 feet.
