An immature male, probably of this species, was procured 

 by Dr. Lorentz in the Resi Mountains and referred to 

 A. callopterus \_cf. Van Oort, Nova Guinea, ix. Zool. livr. i. 

 p. 72 (1909)]. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant also exhibited examples of two rare 

 Fruit-Pigeons, Piilopus gestroi, D^Alb. & Salvad., and 

 P. zonurus, Salvad., procured by the B. O. U. Expedition. 

 These two species had the under surface of the body coloured 

 very similarly, but were very different above, the former 

 having a dark crimson patch on the lesser wing-coverts, 

 and the median wing-coverts grey edged with yellowish-green, 

 while in the latter the lesser and median wing-coverts were 

 dark green, the median coverts having a rose-coloured spot 

 in the middle of each. 



Mr. D. A. Bannerman exhibited and described a new 

 species of Bradyornis as Ibllows : —
