GO [Vol. xiv. 



we were able to procure several of the brown birds, but the 

 white ones flew further out to sea, and did not follow the 

 track of the majority. Acting upon the advice of the in- 

 habitants, we went further along the shore, and procured 

 some white individuals as they flew in to the spot which we 

 afterwards found to be their nesting-place. It was inter- 

 esting to note that the old birds kept further out to sea 

 on approaching the island, while the younger and more 

 unsophisticated individuals made a shorter course along the 

 shore, directly their home was in sight. " 



Mr. A. E. Pratt and his son, introduced by Mr. Frank 

 Finn, exhibited some of the specimens of birds which they 

 had collected during two years of residence in the Owen 

 Stanley range in British New Guinea. 



It was unanimously resolved that the next Meeting should 

 be devoted to a Lantern-Slide Exhibition.
