Mr. Henry Seebohm exhibited some interesting species' 

 of birds procui-ed bv Mr. Hoist in the ' Loo Choo ' or ' Liu 

 Kiu ' Islands. The collection will be fully described in the 

 January number of the ' Ibis/ 



Dr. R. BowDLER Sharpe called attention to a collectioa 

 of birds recently received by the Natural History Museum 

 from Mr. A. H. Everett^ the well-known Bornean traveller. 

 Among other interesting birds Mr. Everett sent skins of 

 Motacilla melanope from the Baram River, and an adult of 

 the true Peregrine Falcon {Falco communis) , not the dark 

 Sunda race, from Pappan Island, Labuan, where it was 

 procured in February 1892. Among the migratory species, 

 however, sent by Mr. Everett was a specimen of Emberiza 

 pusilla, new to the avifauna of Borneo. His brother, 

 Mr. H. H. Everett, procured the individual in question at 

 Tagora, in Sarawak, during the North-east Monsoon. 



From the island of Mantanani, Mr. Everett also forwarded 

 examples of both phases of a new Owl, which Dr. Bowdler 

 Sharpe proposed to call
