Mr. E. BiDWELL exhibited the humerus of a Coot^ which 

 showed a comminuted fracture afterwards completely healed. 



Mr. Robert Read made some remarks ou the changes of 

 plumage in the Black-headed Gull [Lanes ridihundus), and 

 exhibited the head of a recently killed specimen which 

 clearly proved that the black hood was gained in the spring 

 by a change of colour in some of the feathers as well as by 

 a complete moult in others. 



The next Dinner will take place on April 19th, at the 

 Restaurant Frascati (Krasnopolsky), 32 Oxford Street, W., 

 at 7 o^clock.
