 middle of the abdomen ; under tail-coverts cinnamon ; under 

 the eyes along the sides of the neck a wide dark brown stripe.

Dr. Sclater exhibited some very pretty coloured post- 

 cards recently sent to him by from Dresden, representing some 

 of the rarer Birds of Paradise in the Dresden Museum. 



It was unanimously resolved, on the motion of Mr. Robert 

 Read, that the Meeting in March be devoted primarily to an 

 exhibition of lantern-slides. 



The next Meeting of the Club will be held on Wednesday, 

 the 19th of February, 1902, at 8.30, at the Restaurant 

 Frascati, 32 Oxford Street ; the Dinner at 7 p.m.
