Mr. J. D. La. Touche sent the following description of a 

 new form of Eophona as follows : — 



The Yunnan form of Eopliona migratoria {melanura, dim), 

 the Black-tailed Hawfinch, differs from the Lower Yangtze 

 bird, E.m.pulla Penard^ in having a smaller bill and darker 

 upper parts, the mantle being of a dark grey-brown, not a 

 yellow-brown. The bill in two examples out of the five 

 collected is very short, being smaller even than in males of 

 E. m. migratoria. From the latter form it differs in being 

 darker and in its larger size. (C/". Hartert, Vog. Pal. Faun, 

 pt. iii. p. 2046.) 



I would propose to name this bird 



Eophona migratoria harterti, subsp. nov., 



in honour of Dr. Hartert.

On behalf of Dr. Percy Lowe, Mr. Bannbrman said that 

 the wing of a Garganey (^Querquedula querquedula) had 

 recently been sent to the "Bird Room '^ by Dr. Hopkinson, 

 who had shot the duck in the Gambia. Records of the 

 Garganey from the West Africa coast are unknown, but 

 Dr. Hartert has seen great numbers on the flat lakes
