Mr. G. M. Mathews sent the following description of the 

 eggs of 



Morganornis superciliosus gwendolence Mathews, 



The clutch consists of three eggs, having a ground-colour 

 of stone, marked all over with heavy blotches of dark 

 brown ; very few of the lines so characteristic of the eggs 

 of the genus are present. 



Measurements : 21 X 16 mm. 



The clutch was collected by Mr. Tom Carter (who also 

 obtained the type of the subspecies) on the 23rd of 

 September, 1913, at Carnarvon, West Australia. These 

 eggs differ considerably both in coloration and measurements 

 from the eggs of the other subspecies o£ M. s. superciliosus. 



The Editor wishes to state that, in his summary, published 

 in the last number of the VBuUetin/ of Mr. C. F. M. Swyn- 

 nerton's remarks, there are one or two points which the 

 A^^thor would have wished to qualify, but, owing to 

 Mr. Swynnerton's MS. having to be considerably condensed, 

 this was not possible. The Editor therefore is responsible 

 if the account does not clearly convey Mr. Swynnerton^s 

 ideas, and Members are advised to defer their judgment 

 of his theories until Mr. Swynnerton^s paper on the same 

 subject has appeared in ' The Ibis.' 



The Chairman announced that at the June Meeting of 

 the Club a Discussion would take place on "The Effect 

 of Environment on the Evolution of Species,^' opened by 

 Lord Eothschild, Ph.D., E.R.S.
