Wal, x3] 10 
In two other male specimens obtained, the wings measure 
67 and 68 mm. respectively. 
The specimen described is no. 831, obtained at Poko on 
the Welle River, Belgian Congo, on the 29th June, 1914, by 
Dr. C. Christy, and is in the British Museum. 
Lastly, Mr. BANNERMAN exhibited a Hawk from Cameroon, 
West Africa (Astur tachiro tousseneli), which had met with 
a remarkable accident. He said that the bird had been 
obtained by our old friend Mr. Bates at Assobam, and only 
reached this country just before the war. 
A reference to it appears in the ‘ Ibis,’ 1911, p. 494, where 
Mr. Bates wrote of this bird: ‘‘ No. 3268 had an old palm- 
stalk arrow, or part of one, sticking in its forehead near the 
left eye, so that when the boy who shot it saw it on the 
perch it looked as if it had a horn. The eye which had been 
pierced by the arrow had shrivelled up, and the wound had 
healed. The bird was somewhat fat, even though it had 
long been wounded and earried an arrow in its head.” 
Mr. Bates cut the ee off the arrow and replaced the 
shaft in the skin. 
Mr. Baxnerman made the following communication on 
the occurrence of a rare Petrel in the Atlantic :— 
“Tt may interest certain members of the Club to hear 
that the very rare Petrel Wstrelata hasitata has again been re- 
ported (unfortunately not obtained) from the North Atlantic ; 
this time by an American ornithologist who is making a 
special study of the Tubinares—Mr. Francis Harper of the 
American Biological Survey. Knowing that I was interested 
in this group of birds, Mr. Harper wrote to me that when 
crossing from America on 2nd July, 1919, he noticed a 
specimen of this Petrel in mid-Atlantic, lat. 41° 25’ N., 
long 41° W., and identified the bird to his entire satisfaction. 
On his return to America in October he again saw the 
Capped Petrel and wrote to me as follows :— 
““T have not yet published a note on <Lstrelata habia 
largely because I am waiting to hear from our Navy Depart- 
ment regarding the peninen of the ship at the time I saw
