Vol. xliii.] 176 



On July 5th of this year two skins arrived at the British 

 Museum, and have proved to be most interesting. 



The above is a brief preliminary description, and I liope to 

 write a fuller account very shortly. In the meantime, our best 

 thanks are due to Mr. Rogers for his successful efforts in the 

 cause of science. Unfortunately, the bodies of the birds were 

 not preserved, so that not even the humeri are available for 

 relative measurements. It will be noticed that this 

 diminutive flightless Rail, Atlantisia rogersi, has not even a 

 generic affinity with Forphyriornis nesiotis. 



The next Meeting of the B. 0. C. will be held on Wednesday, 

 the 10th of October, 1923, at PAGANI'S RESTAURANT, 

 42-48 Great Portland Street, W. 1, the Dinner at 7 p.m. 

 Members intending to dine are requested to inform the 

 Hon. Secretary, Mr. C. W. Mackworth-Praed, Natural History 

 Museum, S.W. 7. 



[!N.B. — Members who intend to make any communication 

 at the next Meeting of the Club are requested to 

 give notice beforehand to the Editor at Nat. Hist. 

 Museum, South Kensington, and to place in his hands 

 not later than at the meeting MSS. for publication in 

 the Bulletin.]
