An unanimous vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. de 

 Winton for his services as Secretary and Treasurer. 



The Treasurer also announced that a limited number of 

 copies of the early parts of the ' Bulletin ' were still available. 

 Any member wishing to complete his set of the Journal was 

 requested to apply to the Secretary without delay. The 

 price of the i Bulletin ' would be 6s. for any complete session, 

 and odd numbers would be procurable at Is. each. 



Mr. Howard Saunders exhibited a specimen of a female 

 Water-Pipit (Anthus spipoletta) on behalf of Mr. M. J. 

 Nicoll, who had shot it in Bye Harbour on the 29th of 

 October last. This seemed to be the seventh record for the 

 species in Sussex. An example had been procured in 

 Lincolnshire and another in Carnarvonshire, by Mr. Caton 

 Haigh (cf. Bull. B. O. C. v. p. xix, vi. p. xxxviii, vii. p. xxvi). 



Mr. N. F. Ticehurst exhibited some specimens of Blue- 

 headed Wagtails (Motacilla flava) which had been obtained 

 in Kent and Sussex. In company with Mr. M. J. Nicoll, 

 he had kept observation on the migration of Wagtails along 

 the coast, from Sandwich on the east to Worthing on the 

 west, and they had come to the conclusion that M. flava was 

 a regular visitor over this whole area, arriving from the 

 20th of April to the 1st of May, a few doubtless remaining 

 to breed. The return flight consisted chiefly of young birds, 

 which migrated in autumn with M. rayi and M. lugubris, 

 passing about the third week in August, and remaining but 

 a short time. Occasional stragglers were to be seen up 

 to about the 20th of September. 



Mr. T. Digby Pigott mentioned an instance of a Lone:- 

 eared Owl (Asio otus) nesting on the ground at Sheringham 

 in Norfolk. He had reason to believe that the Eaede-Owl 

 (Bubo ignavus) had also occurred recently in the same county. 



Dr. Bowdler Sharpe gave the following diagnoses of two 

 apparently new species of birds from Ruwenzori, in Mr. F. J. 

 Jackson's collection : —
