Range. High ground of British Somaliland. 
Note.—The specimens exhibited to-night, a male of this 
race and a female of the typical race, are not a fair 
comparison ; but there is no male of the typical race 
available. 
Mr. N. B. Kinnear exhibited and described a new form 
of Nuthatch from Burma, which he proposed to name :— 
Sitta europea grisiventris, subsp. nov. 
Very similar to Sitta europea nagensis, but the underside 
and throat considerably paler, pale lavender grey, as compared 
with buffy white in that species. 
Type. Mt. Victoria, Chin Hills, 24.11.04. Col. G Rippon. 
B.M. No. 1905. 9. 10. 488. 
Col. Rippon collected twenty specimens on Mt. Victoria, 
but unfortunately none of them are sexed. The colour of 
the underside in the series is very uniform, with the exception 
of three skins which appear to be immature and are slightly 
buffy. 
Mr. P. F. Bunyarp exhibited a nest of the Goldfinch 
Carduelis c. britannica from Kent, the outside of which was 
decorated with two species of Forget-me-not, Myosotis 
arvensis var. umbrosa and M. sylvatica. In other respects 
the nest was typical, except that a long piece of tarred yarn 
had been used in the foundation. 
Mr. Bunyarp also referred to the recent discussion he 
had had with the Rey. F. C. R. Jourdain on the subject 
of the identification of eggs of the Hobby and Kestrel, and 
said that he had been successful in separating a mixed 
collection of these eggs by means of weights, general 
characteristics, texture of shell, and comparison with the 
average weights of specimens in his collection.
