Vol. xi.] 72 



Mr. E. C. Selous exhibited several nests with their eggs 

 of Sylvia ruepelli, obtained by himself in the vicinity of 

 Smyrna. 



Mr. R. H. Read exhibited a nest of the Chaffinch, which 

 appeared to have been placed upon the nest of a Bullfinch 

 as a foundation. 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier exhibited a head of a Rook in 

 which the upper mandible had received an injury, but 

 instead of becoming distorted and crossed, as was usually 

 the case under such circumstances, the two mandibles had 

 become prolonged symmetrically. 



Mr. Tegetmeier also remarked upon the unusual and 

 excessive mortality this year among Pheasants from enteric 

 disease {not gapes), probably owing to unexplained unsani- 

 tary conditions. 



Dr. F. Penrose suggested that it was desirable that, if 

 possible, some notice of the subjects for discussion should 

 be issued with the invitation cards, and the Chairman said 

 that the subject would no doubt receive the attention of the 

 Committee. 



The Meeting adjourned until next October.
