Mr. F. J. Jackson, C.B., described a new species of 

 Macronyx, from the Mau Downs, which he proposed to call 



Macronyx sharpei, n. sp. 

 Similis M. croceo, sed minor, torque nigro collari nullo, 

 sed prsepectore et pectore laterali nigro late striolatis, 

 abdomine laete flavo pectore concolore, et rectricibus 

 extimis oblique apicem versus albis nee albo terminatis, 

 pogonio externo albo nee pallide flavo. Long. tot. 

 6'6 poll., culm. 0'7, ala? 35, caudse 255, tarsi 1*2. 

 Hab. Mau Plateau, Equatorial Africa. 

 Dr. Sharpe had previously determined two specimens of 

 this Pipit as the young of Macronyx croceus, but the series 

 of eight specimens recently obtained by Mr. Jackson showed 

 that it was quite distinct from the last-mentioned species. 



Mr. Jackson named this species after his old friend 

 Dr. Sharpe, who had for so many years assisted him in his 

 ornithological work in East Africa. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant forwarded a letter which he had 

 received from a dealer in Gloucestershire, announcing that a 

 pair of Goshawks had been shot near a nest in that county. 



The Meeting then proceeded to an exhibition of lantern- 

 slides.
