Late News. 
I recently (.June 12th) had the oi^portunity of seeing a 
newly landed importation of nicstly Indian birds; collected 
and brought over l)y Mr. W. Frost; very many interesting 
and desirable species have been landed, but unfortunatel^y 
many very rare species, including the Red Sunbird {.Efhoptjga 
setarice), were lost after leaving Port Said, owing to inclem- 
ent weather. At this late date I can only give a rough list 
and must refer to them again in our next issue.
