North-west Ecuador, but it may have a wider rang-e than 

 we know of at present. 



" In the " ISTovitates Zoologicse," 1898, I mentioned this 

 form under the name ' Lijpangus holerythrus,' as new to 

 Ecuador. At that time I had no typical example of L. 

 holerythrus for comparison. 



" The case of L. holerythrus is a most interesting parallel 

 to Lathria unirufus castaneotinctus and Aulia rufescens 

 tertia (cf. Nov. Zool., 1902, pp. 609, 610), both of which 

 differ from the Central American sub-species by being- 

 deeper and richer in colour. I am exhibiting these forms 

 and their allies." 



The Hon. Walter Eothschild, Ph.D., M.P., read the 

 following notes on extinct Parrots from the West Indies, 

 and exhibited drawings of them :— 



" During the course of my lecture on Extinct Birds, 

 delivered before the members of the Fourth International 

 Ornithological Congress, I mentioned and described a 

 number of Parrots from the West Indies. The descrip- 

 tions of these birds were taken from the works of Labat, 

 Pere Bouton, and Du Tertre. As the proceedings of the 

 Congress will not be issued before some months have 

 elapsed, I think it best to publish the newly-named species 

 in the Bulletin of the B.O.C."
