!Mr. Ogilvie-Graxt exhibited skins of some rare Fran- 

 colins collected at Nassa, on the south-eastern shore of the 

 Victoria X yanza. One of tliese was Pternistes rvfopictvs, 

 Reichen.j a remarkably handsome species, belonging .to the 

 bare-throated group of Francolins. A second species was new 

 to science^ and he proposed to call it 



Frakcolinus hubbardi, sp. n. 

 ^ . Similis F. coqid, Smithy, sed gastraeo toto concolore^ pal- 



lide fulvo, minime nigro transfasciato. 

 $ . Prgepectore fere griseo^ minime rufescente distinguenda. 

 Long. tot. 10 poll. J alee 5'6, caudas 2'6, tarsi 1*6. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant also described a new species oiRhizo- 

 thera in the British Museum, as 



Rhizothera dulitensis_, sp. n. 

 J . Similis R. longirostri, sed praepectore et pectore totis 

 griseis, gastraeo reliquo albicante : pedibus schistaceis. 

 Long. tot. 13 poll., alse 7'7 ^ caudae 3, tarsi 2'25. 

 2 ad. Similis R. longirostri $ , sed tectricibus alarum fere 

 saturate bruuneis, maculis fulvescentibus paucioribus 

 distinguenda. 

 Hah. Mt. Dulit, Sarawak, 4000 feet (C. Hose). 

 The describer pointed out that the true R. longirosiris is 

 also found in Borneo, as examples have been obtained by 

 Mr. Alfred Everett at Marup and Busan in Sarawak. These 

 specimens are identical with others from the j\Ialay Peninsula 

 and Sumatra, and it is evident that R. duJitensis is a moun- 

 tain-form of R. longirostri s.
