Abor Hills. Mr. Elwes reminded the Members that the 

 type-specimen of C. harmani which had been described by 

 himself in the ' Ibis ' for 1881, p. 399, pi. xiii., was preserved 

 in the British Museum. It was a very poor skin, much 

 destroyed by moth, and had been presented to him by 

 Lieut. Harman, R.E., who had received it from one of his 

 native surveyors. It was said to have been obtained 150 

 miles east of Lhasa, at an elevation of about 4000 feet, but 

 the accuracy of this statement was open to doubt. The 

 species had never been heard of again until Capt. Bailey 

 had the good fortune to meet with it and to secure adults 

 of both sexes as well as a young bird. 



Mr. C. G. Talbot-Ponsonby exhibited a specimen of 

 the American Goldfinch (Chrysomitris tristis), which was 

 said to have been procured on Achill Island on the 6th of 

 September, 1894. Its occurrence had already been fully 

 recorded by Mr. J. R. Sheridan in the ' Zoologist/ 1894, 

 p. 396, together with remarks by the Editor.
