Mr. Ogilvie-Grant remarked that he had recently received 

 a nest with five eggs of the Hebridean Song-Thrush taken 

 in Benbecula on the 16th of May. The nest was placed in a 

 hole among some peats which had been dug some years 

 previously and had become overgrown with dry rank grass. 

 The eggs did not differ in any way from those of the British 

 Song-Thrush. The Hebridean form appeared to be found in 

 all the larger islands of the Outer Hebrides and apparently 

 also in Skye, but in the neighbourhood of Stornaway and in 

 Sl<ye the British form also occurred. 



Mr. Claude H. B. Grant said that Mr. Tom Iredale 

 had kindly drawn his attention to the fact that the name 

 Heteronyx which be proposed for a genus of African Larks 

 in the Bull. B.O. C. xxi. p. Ill (1908), was preoccupied in 

 insects. He therefore proposed to rename it Heteromirafra, 

 and the species must in future stand as Heteromirafra ruddi 

 (Grant). 



As many members have expressed a wish that an Agenda 

 should be sent out before each Meeting of the Club, an 

 attempt will in future be made to do so, and will commence 

 at the first meeting of the next Session to be held in October. 

 An Agenda can only be supplied if the members who intend 

 to exhibit specimens or read papers intimate their intention 

 of doing so at least two weeks before the meeting. It should 

 be remembered, however, that an Agenda of this kind is 

 generally very incomplete, and it frequently happens that the 

 most interesting communications are received at the last 

 moment. Members, therefore, should not trust entirely to 

 the Agenda. 



All communications for Agenda should be addressed to 

 the Editor, at the Natural History Museum, Cromwell 

 Road, London, S.W.
