eastern than in the western form. The type of P. ferrugi- 

 latus is much nearer the extreme western than the extreme 

 eastern form, and cannot stand as typical of the latter. 

 I propose to name the eastern form

after Major Harington, who has lately been working at the

Mr. Stuart Baker also exhibited two eggs of the Blood- 

 Pheasant, Ithagenes cruentus kuseri, and drew attention to 

 their similarity to the eggs of Grouse. The eggs exhibited

 have brought for comparison. All the specimens of
