on Avar duties. A sum^ for instance, of something over 

 £7 Os. Od. was still outstanding and due to the Club for 

 subscriptions not yet paid. Had these been paid in, the 

 money accruing would have brought the Club's credit up to 

 the neighbourhood of £25 Os. Od. 



The total receipts amounted to £130 7s. Sd., the total 

 expenditure to £112 4^. Od. 



Against the diminished balance might be put the fact that 

 during the coming session the Club would not be called 

 upon to subscribe the usual sum of £15 Os. Od. to the 

 Migration Report Committee, as the last Report was to be 

 the final one — at any rate, for the time being ; while in 

 addition to this the increased annual subscription of 7s. 6d., 

 instead of 5*., ought soon to place the Club in a stronger 

 financial position. 



On the whole, the Hon. Treasurer thought that perhaps 

 the general opinion of the Members would be that they 

 might congratulate themselves that the Club was financially 

 in as good a position as was actually the case. 



The Hon. Treasurer expressed the hope that members 

 would not fail to sign Bankers' Orders for the payment of 

 their subscriptions, so as to save unnecessary expense in 

 postage &c. 



The Chairman alluded to the great loss sustained by the 

 Club by the death, which occurred suddenly on September 

 15th, of Mr. R. M. Barrington, who had been a member 

 since 1895, having been elected to the British Ornitholo- 

 gists' Union in 1881. He had taken a great interest in the 

 birds of Ireland^ and contributed many notes to the ' Irish 

 Naturalist.' 



Dr. Ernst Hartert exhibited a new Timeliine bird from 

 Bali, which he described as follows : — 



Cyanoderma melanothorax baliensis, subsp. n. 



Differs from C. m. melanothorax of Java in having the 

 throat light buff', the breast rusty buff", instead of white, 

 and in having the bill slightly larger. Wing, S 60-61, 

 ? 56 mm.
