the "Ibis" for 1900 (pp. 337-354), when a complete account of the 

 collection was given, with a figure (pi. vii.) of a beautiful new King- 

 fisher {Halcyon farquhari). Some notes on the birds of the New 

 Hebrides are added by Capt. Farquhar himself in the same volume of the 

 "Ibis" (pp. 607-612). His ship having been recently on the Medi- 

 terranean station, he has procured specimens of JEgithalus macedonica for 

 the Museum, and has written a paper on the nesting of Falco eleonorx, in 

 the Levant (" Ibis," 1902, pp. 166-168).
