Captain G. E. Shelley exhibited a series of birds from 

 the collections recently made by Mr. Alexander Whyte, for 

 Mr. H. H. Johnston, C.B., H.B.M. Commissioner for Nyassa 

 Land. These collections were made on the Nyassa High- 

 lands at Zomba and on the ^lilanji Plateau, and were of 

 great interest, as showing the extension of the range of the 

 South-African Fauna across the watershed of the Zambesi. 

 Twelve species were new to science, and these will be fully 

 described in the Januarv number of the ' Ibis.^
