Mr. Rothschild further exhibited a pair of the so-called 

 Palceornis salvadorii from Thibet. He had lately received 

 two living females of the true Paheornis derhyanaj said to 

 have come from Hainan. The original examples of Paheornis 

 salvadorii came from Moupin and were decidedly smaller 

 than Palceornis derbyana; but as the specimens from Thibet 

 were exactly intermediate in size, P. salvadorii could not be 

 regarded as a distinct species. Till the true habitat of Palce- 

 ornis derbyana, the largest form, was definitely ascertained, 

 P. salvadorii might be given subspecific rank as Palceortiis 

 derbyana salvadurii. 



]Mr. Rothschild also exhibited some skins of Telespiza 

 cantans from Laysan Island. They belonged partly to what 

 he had foi'merly described as a distinct .species (Ann. Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. 189.2, x. p. 110) under the name of T. Jiai-issima, 

 which was also described and figured under this name in the 

 first part of his 'Avifauna of Laysau.'' He said that by 

 the fine series of skins he had lately received from Professor 

 Schauinsland, which were much finer specimens and in 

 better plumage than those originally obtained by Henry 

 Palmer, and also from Prof. Schauinsland's careful obser- 

 vations, it was proved beyond doubt that the two forms were 

 not distinct, T. Jlavissima being merely the fully adult
