Bulbul from Formosa, which he had described as Pycnonotus 

 taivanns in 'The Ibis ' for 1893 (p. 470). 



Mr. "VV. T. Blanford, F.R.S., read a paper on the 

 proper names of Indian Eagles. A discussion ensued on the 

 synonymy of these birds^ especially the group of the Spotted 

 Eagles {Aquila clanga, A. maculatn, &c.). Mr. Blanford^'s 

 paper vnW be published in ' The Ibis.' 



The following commutiicatiou from Mr. 0. S.a.lvin, F.R.S., 

 on a new Humming-bird was read : — 



" Anthocephala berlepschi, sp. nov. 



" A. florici'piti similis, sed apicibus remigum lateralium late 

 albis nee cervinis, abdomine et tectricibus subcaudalibus 

 grisescentibus nee rufescentibus distinguenda. 

 '^ ? a femina A. floricipiti eodem modo differt. 



" Hab. Colombia ; environs of Bogota. 



'! Mus. Berlepsch et Brit. 



" Obs. Graf H. von Berlepsch has sent me a beautiful male 

 specimen of an Anthocephala in which he^ with his usual 

 acumen, noticed differences from A. floriceps, as pointed 

 out above. I have compared ir with the type of the latter 

 species, which, with a female of the true A. floriceps, is 

 in the British Museum. 



'' In the same collection are two other skins which, in the 

 Catalogue of Trochilidce (Cat. Birds Brit. ]v[us. xvi. p. 172), 

 I placed with A. floriceps. One is a male with several of the 

 rectrices missing; the other is a female in poor condition. 

 With Count v. Berlepsch's beautiful male before me, it is 

 evident that both these specimens [h and c) belong to the 

 bird which I now separate. 



'' All three are skins of the so-called Bogota make, and 

 doubtless came from some upland locality within the 

 hunting-grounds of the Bogota bird-collectors. The two 

 specimens ol: A. floriceps in the Museum were shot at an 

 elevation of 5000 feet above the sea in the Sierra Nevada of 

 Santa Marta."
