lawesi, and P. carolce ; a specimen of Amblyornis inornata 

 with a yellow crest ; and a fine series of Drepanornis bruijni, 

 showing every stage of plumage of the male, from his first 

 dress — when he resembles the female — up to the complete 

 and decorated plumage of the adult. 



!Mr. Hartert, who exhibited these specimens on behalf of 

 Mr. Kothschild, made some remarks on the series. 



A special vote of thanks to Mr. Rothschild was passed. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Graxt exhibited a nest containing six eggs, 

 believed to be those of the Blackcap {Sylvia atricapilla) , 

 which had been taken by Dr. John A. Norton in Somerset- 

 shire on the 15th May, 1894, and lent for exhibition. The 

 eggs were of a very peculiar type, the ground-colour being 

 pure white ; towards the larger end especially, they were 

 spotted and blotched with reddish, and there were also 

 present some underlying clouds of pale lilac. The eggs were, 

 in fact, very similar to some of the clutches in the National 

 Collection laid by the Nuthatch [Sitta ccesia), but Dr. Nor- 

 ton, who saw the old bird, felt perfectly certain that if it was 

 not a Blackcap, which he believed it to be, it could only be 

 a Garden- Warbler [Sylvia hortensis). 



IVIr. Ogilvie-Grant also exhibited the male and female of 

 a new species of Zosterops collected by Mr. J. "Whitehead in 

 South Luzon. 



ZOSTEROPS LL'ZONICA, S}). U. 



Most nearly allied to Z. niyrorum, from Negros, but dis- 

 tinguished by having no black spot in front of the eye, the 

 upper parts brighter olive, and the yellow on the throat and- 

 middle of the underparts more golden with no greenish tinge. 

 Total length 3'8 inches, wing 1-8, tail 1*4, tarsus 0*6. 



The name of the new genus of Flycatchers described in 

 the last number of the ' Bulletin,^ p. xviii, should stand as 

 Callaeops, not Callceops as printed there.
