believe, unique. In the same box is a clutch of Callacantlms 

 Intrtoni, of which one or two other clutches have been taken 

 by Col. Ward and, I think, Col. Wilson. In appearance they 

 are typical Propasser eggs. 



I also show a few eggs of Clirysomitris (Acanthis) tibetana 

 and C. ambigua, the latter unique, the former representing 

 more than half the known clutches. As might be expected, 

 these are typical Linnets' eggs in appearance, though rather 

 handsome ones. There is next a fair series of the Indian 

 Goldfinch, Carduelis c. caniceps, showing a close resemblance 

 to those of our English bird ; then there are smaller series 

 of the rare Serin, Serinus pusillus, and of the better-known 

 Himalayan Greenfinch, AcantJiis spinoides. 



I also show what I believe to be the only clutch extant of 

 the Himalayan Crossbill, Loxia lihnalayana, which differs in 

 no way from those of the European bird, and. a few odd 

 eggs — there is no complete clutch — of that curious Scarlet 

 Finch, Hcematospiza indica. 



The last of the Finches shown are the aberrant white ones 

 of the Mountain-Finches. Some of them shown are unique, 

 and some comparatively common. They include Fringil- 

 lauda nemoricola nemoricola and its subspecies sordida and 

 Montifritigilla brandti hcematopygia, M. rujicollis, M. nivalis 

 alpicola, and M. n. adamsi. 



Of the Buntings, I show but few. There are series of 

 Emberiza cia par and E. c. straclieyi and two clutches of the 

 very rare E. c. godlewskii, the latter recently taken by 

 Mr. La Touche in China. I also show five clutches of 

 E. stracheyi as representing a type contrasting well with 

 those of the Meadow-Buntings. 



The last box contains three pairs of the very House- 

 Sparrow egg-like eggs of Emberiza striolata, a Bunting of 

 whose breeding we still know but very little. 



Mr. Percy F. Bunyard exhibited the following eggs 

 from his collection : — 



Greenfinch {Chloris Moris). A series of twenty-two 

 clutches. Among those of special interest was a clutch of
