and more blaclvish, the under tail-coverts light, the chin 

 and upper throat whitish. It differs from P. yiojce, Ber- 

 lepsch, principally in having no black on the chin at all. 



" Several examples of this new species were collected at 

 Salinas, on the Beni River in Eastern Bolivia, by ^Ir. Arthur 

 Maxwell Stuart, in whose honour it was named. The same 

 gentleman found Fhaethornis pygmceus mgricinctiis (Lawr.) 

 in the hills of San Augustin_, in Eastern Bolivia, at about 

 3500 feet elevation.'^ 



Mr. Ernst Hartert exhibited some of the new species of 

 birds which were in the collection recently sent by Mr. Alfred 

 Everett from Elores, viz. : Pachycephala midigula, Hartert, 

 a species remarkable for a large bare red spot on the throat ; 

 Pnoepyga everetti, Rothschild, which further extended the 

 distribution of that genus ; Zosterops crassirostris and 

 Z. svperciUaris, Hartert, two fine and very distinct forms of 

 the large genus Zosterops ; Microeca oscillans, Hartert, a 

 new Flycatcher of, at present, somewhat doubtful aflBnities ; 

 Brachypteryx floris, Orthno'cichla everetti, and Cryptolopha 

 mantis floris, subsp. nov., very closely allied to C. montis. 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild sent for exhibition a 

 specimen of CEstrelata hcesitata (Kuhl), a male, killed at 

 Verona Beach, on Oneida Lake, N.Y., on August 28th, 1893, 

 by the Rev. G. A. Biederman, of Utica, N.Y., who had 

 presented it to Mr. Alex. H. Moore, by whom ii had been 

 mounted. 



Mr. Rothschild also sent a skin of Paradisea intermedia, 

 De Vis. This form was intermediate between Paradisea 

 aiigustce-victorice. Cab., which it resembled on the upper 

 surface, and P. raggiana, ScL, to which it was similar below. 

 Specimens of the two latter species were shown for com- 

 parison. 



!Mr. Rothschild further sent for exhibition skins of Ruti- 

 cilUi erythrogastra, Gilld., from the Caucasus, and R. grandis, 

 Gould, from Central Asia; species which had jienerally
