Dr. ScLATER exhibited an immature male specimen of 

 Mergus squamatus , Gould, belonging to the Vladivostok 

 Museum, which had been described by Mr. Buturlin in his 

 letter to the Editors of 'The Ibis' (c/. 'Ibis/ 1911, p. 182). 

 It had been sent to him to be compared with the speci- 

 mens of this rare Goosander in the British Museum, and 

 Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, who had kindly made the comparison, 

 was of opinion that there could be no doubt that the 

 specimen had been correctly identified by Mr. Buturlin.- if- 

 closely resembled the type specimen of M. .<?5'%am«^ws,^oiMd^;^
