Sussex. The last-named gentleman kept it alive in his 

 aviaries till the 31st of May, 1912, when it was killed by 

 a "Clodbird" (Emberiza calandra). The specimen had been 

 presented to the Booth Museum. 



The second male exhibited was shot by Roland Oliver at 

 Battle, Sussex, in the first week of April 1912, and was 

 taken, with other birds, to Mr. Bristow, of St. Leonard's, 

 to be mounted. Shortly after it had been set up, and while 

 still soft, it had been sent to Mr. Griffith, who, having 

 acquired it, presented it to the Booth Museum. 



2. White's Thrush (Oreocincla aurea). 



The fine adult bird shown was picked up dead in a garden 

 in Hove, Sussex, on the 26th of September, 1898, and 

 brought on the same day to the late Mr. Henry Cooke, of 

 Wilbury Road. It was sent to Messrs. Pratt to be mounted, 

 where Mr. Griffith inspected the bird in the flesh. On 

 Mr. Cooke's death in 1914 he bequeathed the bird, with his 

 residue, to Mrs. Jennings, who presented it to the Booth 

 Museum. 



3. Meadow-Pipit (Anthus pratensis). Pied variety. 

 The bird shown was an adult male shot by the late 



Mr. C. C. Stehn in October 1880 on the beach at Lancing, 

 Sussex. The specimen had been presented to the Brighton 

 Museum by Mr. Stehn's brother and sister. It had patches, 

 especially on the wings, of a pale whitish or ash-colour ; 

 and where the ground-colour of the feathers was usually 

 yellowish, the patches were pale yellow in colour. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant exhibited and described examples of 

 a new species of Ground-Robin collected by the late 

 Dr. W. J. Ansorge : — 



Erythropygia ansorgii, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to E. ruficauda and its 

 close ally, if really separable, E. zambesiana ; it resembles 

 the former in having the crown browner and darker than 

 the mantle. It differs chiefly in having the middle tail-
