unusual position, being built immediately above a squirrel's 

 drey containing one young squirrel. 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier exhibited specimens of the Prince 

 of Wales' Pheasant (Phasianus principalis), and made 

 remarks on the introduction of this species into Hants and 

 Sussex, where the birds had been shot. Colonel Sunderland, 

 who had imported many of these birds from Central Asia at 

 considerable expense, was present as a visitor to the Club, 

 and stated that the Pheasants he had turned down had 

 thriven well and bred freely, and he believed that they would 

 prove a valuable addition to the game-birds reared in this 

 country. 



Mr. F. Finn exhibited a photograph of a specimen of the 

 Indian Dabchick (Podicipes capensis) taken from life. The 

 bird was standing in an erect position. He also made some 

 remarks, pointing out that, according to his experience, this 

 and other Grebes were able to walk normally, for in addition 

 to Podicipes capensis he had observed specimens of Podicipes 

 cristatus, P. nigricollis, P. minor, and JEchmophorus major 

 do the same. 



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