Guttera sclateri, Reiclienow, from North Cameroon, was 

 also a subspecies of G. cristata. Of these four forms he 

 had compared more than 25 specimens. 



Of another species of Guttera, viz. G. plumifera from 

 S. Cameroon and Gaboon, he had compared about 30 speci- 

 mens shot in nearly every month of the year without being 

 able to detect any real seasonal change regarding the colour 

 of the bluish-white spots. 



On behalf of Mr. C. J. Carroll, Mr. Ogilvie-Gkant 

 exhibited a male specimen of Bulwer's Petrel (Bulweria 

 bulweri) which had been picked up after strong south- 

 westerly gales at CliflF End, Pett Level, near Hastings, on 

 September the 4th, 1908. When found, the bird was still 

 alive, and it had been examined in the flesh by Mr. Ruskin 

 Butterfield. This is the fourth occasion on which this 

 Peti^el has been recorded from the British Islands : one 

 being noted in Saunders's Manual ; a second having been 

 picked up dead at Beachy Head, Sussex, on the 3rd of 

 February, 1903 ; while a third was found at St. Leonard's 

 on the 4th of February, 1904. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant described an example of a new Pucras 

 Pheasant which had been procured by Mr. F. W. Styan at 

 Ichang, Central China : — 



PUCRASIA STYANI, Sp. U. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to P. darwini, Swinh., tlie 

 general colour and markings of the upperparts and tail being 

 similar ; but the middle of the chest, breast, and underparts 

 is streaked like the sides, and there is no trace of the uniform 

 chestnut band down the middle of the underparts which 

 is characteristic of P. darwini and all other species of the 

 genus. Total length about 18"0 inches; wing 8-5 ; tail (in 

 moult) 6-2 ; tarsus 2-8. 



Hab. Ichang, Central China, 8. ix. 95. 



Obs. The type is a fully adult bird with a well-developed 

 spur. There is a second male example of this species, also 

 in Mr. Styan's collection, procured on the 11th of January,
