Essex, during- the past winter. It proved, however, to be 

 an immature male of the Baikal Teal [Nettion formosum) 

 assuming the adult j)lumag'e, and had, no doubt, escaped 

 from some ornamental water. 



The Hon. Walter Kothschild exhibited and described 

 examples of two new birds as follows : — ■ 



Granatellus pelzelni paeaensis, subsp. n. 



(^ Differs from males of G. p. pelzelni from the Eio 

 Caura, Santarem and Eio Madeira in lacking the white 

 longitudinal patch on the flanks. The black of the 

 forehead extends over the eyes in a short black stripe 

 only, the middle of the pileum being slate-blue like the 

 back^ but with black bases to the feathers^ the bases to 

 the feathers of the back being ashy-grey. There is only 

 a short white mark, about 6 mm. long, behind the eye, 

 instead of a long white streak about 1 cm. long. 



Wing 53, tail about 50 (slightly worn), culmen 12 mm. 

 $ Similar to the female of G. p. pelzelni, except that 

 the flanks are more strongly washed with grey. 



fl"a&. Prata, near Para. Type c? 17. xi. 1905. No. 141, 

 in Tring Museum ; collected by Mr. W. Hoffmanns. 



Eulabeornis castaneiventris sharpej, subsp. n. 



Differs from Eulaheornis c. castaneiventris from Northern 

 Australia in having the entire upper surface, with the 

 exception of the head and nape, which are grey, dark 

 ochraceous brown with a rufous tinge, instead of pale 

 greyish-olive. 



ira&.Wokan,Aru Islands. Type ? 6. x. 1900. No. 2734, 

 in Tring Museum ; collected by Mr. Heinrich Klihn. 



This is the form described in the " Catalogue of Birds," 

 xxiii., p. 49, under the name of E. castaneiventris. The 

 mistake arose through Dr. Sharpe having had no Australian 

 specimens before him. 



Dr. Ernst Hartert exhibited and described examples 

 of a new species of Zoster ops, which he named :—
