Mr. R. H. Read exhibited a white-headed example of 

 the common Blackbird {Turdus merula), procured at 

 Andwell, near Basingstoke. It was especially remarkable 

 on account of its curiously-coloured feet, which were 

 partially black and partially pale yellow. 



Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant pointed out that by an 

 oversight Bolbopsittacus mindanensis had been included 

 among the new species described in the last number of 

 the "Bulletin" (cf. XVI., no. cxviii., p. 17); the name 

 should stand as Bolhopsittacus mindanensis, Steere.
