Dr. Sharpe further remarked that R. gracilis of Fischer 

 and Reichenow proved to be identical with R. bisignatus of 

 Hartlaub, of -which the type was in the British Museum. 



Mr. Seebohm drew attention to the apparent cross-lines 

 of migration which took place in Eastern Siberia and the 

 extreme North-west of America, whereby several Nearctic 

 species visited the Eastern Pakearctic Region, such as Tardus 

 alicia, Junco hy emails, Dendrceca coronata, Seiurus novebora- 

 censis, &c., while it was a well-known fact that Palaearctic 

 species such as Phylloscopus borealis, Pyrrhula cassini, 

 yiotacilla jiava, Erithacus suecica, &c., were visitors to Alaska. 



The next Meeting of the Club will take place on Wednes- 

 day, the 17th of January, 1894.
