An immature female Las the middle of the breast and 

 belly pale yellowish white and the throat washed with the 

 same colour. 



Obs. This species was first procured by Dr. H. O. Forbes, 

 but Mr. Nicholson wrongly identified it with Lusciniola 

 fuliginiventvis Hodgs. from the Himalaya. Superficially 

 it resembles that bird in general appearance, but in the 

 latter species the bill is more slender, the tail shorter 

 and composed of twelve feathers instead of ten, and the 

 colour of the upper parts is of an even darker brown without 

 the slightly rufous-orange tinge characteristic of the 

 Sumatraii bird. 



Messrs. Robinson and Kloss stated that this little Warbler 

 did not occur below 7000 feet and ranged higher than any 

 other vertebrate met with on the Korinchi Peak, one 

 specimen having been shot at an elevation of over 

 11,000 feet, at the limit of vegetation. 



Though not at all shy it was very skulking in its habits, 

 and hopped about near the ground among dense vegetation. 

 It was consequently rather a difficult bird to obtain.

The remainder of the evening was devoted to an exhibition 

 of Lantern-slides by Members of the B. O. U. and B. O. C. 



Mr. F. R. Ratcliff showed some slides of the French 

 Sahara. From Laghouat, at the edge of the southern Atlas 

 Range, through the region of the Dayas — high-lying desert 

 of hard soil covered with rough pebbles, in the depressions 

 of which are spinneys of pistachier trees and jujubier thorn- 

 bushes — to the Mozabite towns of Ghardaia and Guerrara 

 lying in the ravines of the Chebka. Thence north-east, 

 through the more sandy districts of El Alia to Touggourt, 

 from which the route turned north, above the underground
