Platycercus macgillivrayi, North. 



Mr. North has also kindly sent me a specimen of this 

 decidedly new Parrakeet from the Burke District of Northern 

 Queensland, which he has lately described in the e Victorian 

 Naturalist' (xvii. pp. 91, 113). The sex is not recorded, 

 but from Mr. North's description I suppose it to be a female. 

 It was obtained at Cloncurry near Normanton. The species 

 belongs to the group of P. barnardi, which, however, I am 

 not inclined to separate generically from Platycercus. 



Mr. Sclater also exhibited a specimen of a Tyrannine bird 

 of the genus Phyllumyias (Cat. Birds B. M. xiv. p. 1 22), which 

 had been transmitted to him for determination by Dr. Berg, 

 Director of the National Museum, Buenos Aires. It was 

 stated by Dr. Berg to have been taken at Tafi, Province of 

 Tucuman, Argentina, in December 1898. It was no doubt 

 the same as Phyllomyias berlepschi, Salvad. (Bull. Mus. Zool. 

 ed Anat. Torino, no. 292, p. 13, 1897). 



There being already a Phyllomyias berlepschi, this species 

 (of which Count Salvadori had most kindly sent the type to 

 Mr. Sclater for comparison) had been renamed Phyllomyias 

 salvadorii by Dubois (Syn. Av. p. 338) ; but it was certainly 

 very closely allied to P. brevirostris, and perhaps hardly 

 distinguishable. 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier exhibited the head of a Pheasant 

 shot on Sir Walter Gil bey's estate, and remarkable for its 

 very pale superciliary streak. 



The next Meeting of the Club (Lantern Exhibition) will 

 be held on Wednesday, the 19th of March, 1902, at 8.30, 

 at the Restaurant Frascati, 32 Oxford Street ; the Dinner 

 at 7 p.m.
