}.Ir. Sclater called attention to the fine specimen of the 

 Spotted Ptcdshank {Tot anus fuscus) now living in the Fish 

 House in the Zoological Society's Gardens, and obtained 

 on October 17th, along with other waders, from Spalding 

 in Lincolnshire. It was the first specimen, so far as was 

 known, that had been received by the Zoological Society, 

 and 'My. Bartlett, in all his long experience, had never seen 

 a living specimen in captivity before. 



Mr. Sclater also exhibited a portrait (lithograph) of 

 Prof. Giglioli, presented by the latter to the British Orni- 

 thologists^ Union.
