(a great extension of its range) ; Sporadinus riccordi, from 

 the same island ; and of three so-called species of Geotlilypis, 

 viz. G. rostmtus, G. maynardi, and G. tanneri, the differences 

 between which Mr. Bonhote considered to be due merely 

 to age. 



On behalf of Mr. N. F. Ticehurst, Mr. Bonhote recorded 

 the occurrence of Bulwer's Petrel (Bulweria bulweri) in 

 Sussex, a specimen having been picked up dead near 

 Beachy Head on the 3rd of February, 1903, and brought to 

 Mr. Ticehurst in the flesh. This was the second instance 

 of the occurrence of this Petrel in Great Britain, the first 

 specimen having been obtained in Yorkshire in 1837. The 

 present occurrence took place after a succession of strong 

 S.W. gales. 



Mr. Ticehurst also recorded the occurrence of the Two- 

 barred Crossbill (Loxia bifasciata) for the first time in Kent, 

 a female specimen having been shot by Mr. H. Dale on 

 Cold Blow Farm, Woodchurch, on the 26th of December, 

 1902. 



Dr. Sclater exhibited another specimen of the newly- 

 discovered Australian Parrot, Platycercus macgillivrayi (see 

 Bull. B. O. C. vol. xii. p. 52, and ' Ibis,' 1902, p. 610, pi. xv.) 3 

 received, like the previous specimen, from Mr. A. J. North, 

 C.M.Z.S. It had been obtained, like the former specimen, 

 by Mr. A. S. Macgillivray near Cloncurry, in Northern 

 Queensland. Mr. North had now received eight specimens 

 (all from Mr. Macgillivray) of this fine species, and had ascer- 

 tained that the sexes were nearly alike in plumage. Dr. Sclater 

 remarked that in his notes on this species (Ibis, 1902, p. 610) 

 he had made an error in speaking of the " Gulf of Normanton" 

 instead of " Gulf of Carpentaria," as Normanton was situ- 

 ated about 25 miles from the head of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
