Dr. P. K. Lowe exhibited a specimen of (Estrelata armin- 

 joniana, Gigl. & Salvad., and made the following remarks : — 



" The example of this Petrel which I am exhibiting this 

 evening was captured in the North Atlantic, thousands of 

 miles north of its home on the island of South Trinidad 

 in the South Atlantic. The bird flew on board Sir 

 Prederick Johnstone's yacht the ' Zenaida ' on the last day of 

 1905, during a passage from Madeira to St. Thomas, W.I., 

 when we were rather more than hallway across the Atlantic, 

 and roughly 1300 miles north of the equator, lat. 21° 51' N.,

" Examples of this rare species have been previously pro- 

 cured by the following : — Prof. Giglioli, 'Magenta,' 1868; 

 Earl of Crawford, ' Venus,' 1874 ; Dr. E. A. Wilson, 

 'Discovery,' 1901 ; Mr. M. J. Nicoll, ' Valhalla,' 1905. 



"Mr. Nicoll is no doubt right in believing that CE. wilsoni, 

 Sharpe, is synonymous with (E. arminjuniana [cf. Ibis, 1906, 

 p. 671)." 



Mr. R. B. WoosNAM gave the following brief account of 

 the Ruwenzori Expedition : — 



"The expedition left England early in October 1905, 

 arriving at Mombasa early in November. The journey from 

 Mombasa to Entebbe now occupies three days, whereas, 

 before the construction of the Uganda railway, it was a long 

 and difficult march of three months. After a short delay at 

 Entebbe to arrange the caravan, the expedition was able to 

 set out for the march of 180 miles to Ruwenzori. The road 

 from Entebbe to Ruwenzori is not a very interesting one, 

 passing over monotonous undulating country, which is so 

 covered with dense elephant-grass 15 feet high that little or 

 nothing can be seen of the surrounding distiict. A small
