the Reed-Bunting {Emberiza schceniclus) from Pevensey 

 Sluice, which appeared to have the upper parts unusually 

 pale. 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild, Ph.D., M.P., exhibited a 

 pair of the true Phcebetria fuliginosa (Gmel.) and a pair of 

 P. fuliginosa cornicoides (Hutton), and pointed out that while 

 the former was uniform sooty black all over, the latter had 

 only the head, wings, and tail sooty black, the body varying 

 from mouse-grey to greyish-white in extreme specimens. He 

 believed that when the breeding-stations of both forms were 

 discovered, it might be found that P. f. cornicoides (Hutton) 

 was a good species, but he thought that at present it would 

 be safer to treat it only as a subspecies. 



On behalf of Mr. C. J. Carroll, of Rocklow, Fethard, 

 Clonmel, Mr. Ogilvie-Grant exhibited adult male examples 

 of the Meadow-Bunting [Emberiza cia) and the Little 

 Bunting (E.pusilla), both captured in England in 1902. 



Though both these specimens had already been recorded, 

 neither of them had been exhibited, and Mr. Carroll had 

 therefore forwarded them, hoping that they might prove of 

 interest to the members of the Club. 



The Meadow-Bunting was the specimen recorded by 

 Dr. Sharpe in the Bull. B. 0. C. xiii. no. xciv. p. 38 (1903). 

 It had been taken alive near Shoreham, in Sussex, at the 

 end of October 1902, and died on the 27th October, 1903. 



The Little Bunting had been captured with bird-lime at 

 Pailton, near Rugby, in the beginning of October 1902, and 

 lived in a cage for nearly fifteen months (cf Aplin, Ibis, 

 1904, p. 307; and Carroll, Zoologist, 1904, p. 312). 



On behalf of Mr. H. C. Robinson, Curator of the Selangor 

 State Museum, Mr. Grant exhibited an example of a new 

 species of Tree-Partridge from the mountains of the Malay 

 Peninsula. Mr. Robinson described it as follows : — 



Arboricola campbelli, n. sp. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to A. atrogularis, but
