Mr. Ogilvie Grant exhibited on behalf of Mr. C. B. 

 Rickctt the type of a new species of Warbler : — 



LusciNioLA MEL.AXORHYNCHA Rickett, sp. n. 



Adult male. Nearest to L. russula (Slater), but at once 

 distinguished by its black bill, differently shaped wing, longer 

 tail, and darker colour, especially on the sides, flanks, and 

 under tail-coverts, which are brown instead of pale butf. 

 The 2nd primary considerably shorter than the 10th, the ."ith 

 slightly longer than 4th and 6th. Total length 5"5 inches, 

 culmen 0"4, wing 2, tail 2?>, tarsus 0-75. 



Hab. Kuamn, N.W. Fohkien. 



Mr. Grant remarked ; — " Both this species and the bird 

 described under the name of Cettia russula by the Rev. H. H. 

 Slater have twelve tail-feathers and belong to the genus 

 Lusciniola, the latter species being nearly allied to L. inter- 

 media (Gates). Though L. russula superficially resembles 

 Cettia pallidipes, with which Mr. Slater compared it, it is 

 structurally very dififerent.'" 



j\[r. Grant also exhibited a specimen of the genus Eula- 

 cestoma of De Vis, from Mt. Albert Edward, in S.E. New 

 Guinea; it was apparently a young individual of E. n'lgri- 

 torquis, De Vis, but had no black pectoral collar and a good 

 deal of rufous on the w ings. 



Mr. D. Le Souef brought for exhibition t!ie nests and 

 eggs of Manucodia rjouldi, Graucalus sirainsoni, and Ptilorhis 

 alhtrti, from Northern Queenslaud. Pie also showed, with 

 the aid of a lime-light lantern, a remai'kable series of photo- 

 graphs of the nests and eggs of Australian birds taken by 

 himself during his expeditions in that contineut.
