Dr. Percy Rendall exhibited two sets of Capercaillie 

 eggs from Inverness-shire, with the feathers with which 

 the nests were lined. Also six clutches of the Woodcock, 

 including some dark and heavily marked sets, all from 

 Cumberland. 



Mr. Deane showed an unmarked egg, believed to be that 

 of a Common Snipe. 



Mr. C. J. Carroll exhibited a large and varied series of 

 Guillemot and Razorbill eggs^ all taken by himself on the 

 Irish coast. One of the Guillemot egos was of a uniform 

 holly-green colour, a very rare phase. 



Mr. Carroll also showed a clutch of Blackcap's eggs, 

 taken by himself in Co. Kildare in May 1921, of the bright 

 salmon-pink form. This is believed to be the first erythristic 

 set ever recorded from Ireland. 



The Rev. James R. Hale exhibited a small series of 

 Guillemots' eggs, two of which are specially worthy of 

 mention : — 



(a) Taken by Captain T. P. Aid worth at St. David's 

 Head, S. Wales : bright lemon-yellow ground-colour, with 

 brownish-black markings. This specimen is believed to be 

 unique. 



(b) A very perfect example of the " Crow " type, taken 

 by the exhibitor in 1898 at Portmagee, Co. Kerry. 



Dr. Herbert Langton showed a small but select series of 

 the Common and Black Guillemots and Razorbill. 



The Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain exhibited a small series of 

 Brunnich's Guillemot (Uria I. lotnvia) from Bear Island, 

 which showed a wide range of variation. These eggs had 

 been most carefully identified in situ by Mr. Jourdain him- 

 self, who remarked that if a sufficiently large series of this 

 species could be examined the extent of variation would 

 probably rival that of the Common Guillemot. A few eggs 

 of the Ringed variety of the Common Guillemot from the 

 same locality were also shown.
