genus Circus, etc., and abnormally in the eggs of many- 

 species. 



To further demonstrate the fact that the eggs of the Puffin 

 are usually heavily marked, Mr. Bunyard exhibited six 

 eggs electrically illuminated from inside, with the result that 

 the markings were clearly visible. 



The Rev. Canon Dalison, in proposing a vote of thanks to 

 the exhibitors, called attention to the fact that four keen 

 Oologists had come all the way from Ireland on purpose to 

 contribute to the magnificent display of eggs which were on 

 view. Special thanks were also due to those gentlemen who 

 had brought the five eggs of the Great Auk ; and to 

 Mr. Bunyard, who had brought some hundreds of specimens 

 from Croydon, and had spent the entire day perfecting the 

 lighting arrangements for the evening. 



Mr. F. J. LuPTON exhibited some picked specimens 

 from his well-known series of Guillemot eggs taken at 

 Flamborough.
