in the colour and markings of the head and neck, the chin and 

 middle of the throat being pure white, hut, as in F. kikuyuensis, 

 the mottled, black and white stripes surrounding the crown 

 are interrupted on the nape by the chestnut collar and not 

 continued down the hack of the neck in a nuchal hand, and 

 the chestnut white-shafted feathers are confined to the chest, 

 the breast and belly being buff, more or less blotched, 

 especially on the sides of the body, with blackish chestnut.

Mr. Grant also reported that two examples of the 

 Waxwing (Ampelis garrulus) had been caught at Ramsgate 

 in the beginning of December, by a Mr. Young. One of the 

 birds having died, was forwarded on 8th December to the 

 Natural History Museum. 



Dr. Sclater exhibited a pair of a scarce and beautiful 

 Tanager, Cyanicterus venustus (cf. Scl. Cat. B. B. M. xi. 

 p. 193), belonging to the Museum of the University of 

 Cambridge, and sent to him, along with other South- 

 American birds, for determination. 



These skins had been obtained by the late C. A. Lister, 

 B.A., of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, at Casuaria 

 Grande, near Manaos, at the junction of the Bio Negro with 

 the Amazon, in June 1889, and had been bequeathed by him 

 on his death, along with other objects, to the University. 



The male was labelled " Iris orange ; upper mandible 

 black : " the female " iris crimson ; eyelid yellow : from a 

 tall tree in the forest." 



Dr. Sclater remarked that the locality of these specimens 

 was of much interest, as the species had been heretofore 

 only known to occur in the interior of Guiana and Cayenne. 



Mr. H. J. Pearson exhibited examples of the Spotted or 

 Dusky Redshank (Totanus fuscus) and Wood Sandpiper
