been considered the same as the form found in the Faroe 

 Islands, viz. Troglodytes troglodytes horealis, but a com- 

 parison of specimens showed that it differed in being larger 

 than the latter. The wings in a series of males from the 

 Faroe Islands measured from 48-54 mm. (Knud Andersen 

 gave 53*75 as the maximum), while in two males from 

 Iceland they measured 57*5 and 60 mm. respectively. 

 He proposed to name the Iceland form 



Troglodytes troglodytes islandicus, subsp. n. 



Type in the Tring Museum : (^ . No. 3690. Gilsbakki, 

 Iceland, 13. vi. 00 ; H. H. Slater coll. 



Dr. Ha-Rtert also pointed out that specimens of the 

 Great Eeed-Warbler from Turkestan differed from European 

 examples in having the upper surface more olivaceous and 

 less ruf escent, while the sides and under tail-coverts appeared 

 to be paler than in specimens from Europe shot at the same 

 time of year. He proposed to name the Turkestan form 



ACROCEPHALUS ARUNDINACEUS ZARUDNYI, Subsp. U. 



Type in the Tring Museum: S. No. 1566, Djarkent, 

 Turkestan, 3. v. 00 ; N. Zarudny coll. 



Dr. Hartert likewise described a new form of Climacteris, 

 and made the following remarks : — 



In the 'Novitates Zoologicse,^ xiv. p. 474 (1907), 

 Mr. itothschild and I drew attention to some slight differ- 

 ences between a series of specimens of Climacteris from the 

 mountains of British New Guinea and a specimen from the 

 Arfak Mountains. Since then I have been able to examine 

 two more females from Arfak in the Leyden Museum, and, 

 as I find the same differences in these, do not hesitate to 

 separate the two forms. The south-eastern form differs 

 from C. placens 'placens from the Arfak Mountains as 

 follows : —
