g8 MR. F. LENEY ON ADDITIONS TO NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM. 
addition which was obtained through Mr. R. C. McGregor 
agrees very well with the plate of the species in ‘ The Ibis ’ 
(see 1897, pi. V.), except in having a rather darker tail, on 
which there appear to be five bands. There is one skin of 
P. jefferyi in the Tring Museum, and that and the type in the 
Natural History Museum, were the only ones which had been 
received in this country prior to August, 1909, when the 
Zoological Society acquired one alive. Of this interesting 
bird a figure was given in ‘ The Field ’ of September 4th 
following, which showed it to have a singular disposition 
of the crest, the feathers of which are lacking in rigidity, 
and consequently hang down over the sides of the head. 
Unfortunately the bird did not live very long. In the 
Bulletin of the Philippine Museum (1904) Mr. McGregor gives 
a few further particulars of P. jefferyi, and remarks that 
“in at least two specimens which I have examined, 
there were conspicuous black shaft-lines on the feathers 
of chin and jaw,” and he gives some measurements. See 
also ‘ Manual of Philippine Birds,’ Part I., p. 226. 
Mr. McGregor also sent us a good male of Spilornis panayensis 
(Steere), which is a pale form of 5 . holospilus, labelled 
‘ Badajoz Tablas, September 12th, 1905 ’ ; but it seems that 
the Norwich Museum already possessed this race. Its claim 
to subspecific rank is discussed and allowed by Mr. Ogilvie 
Grant in ‘ The Ibis ’ for 1896, p. 527. Of Ninox mindorensis, 
Gr., a species described by Mr. Ogilvie Grant in 1896 
(‘ Ibis ’ 1896, p. 463), Mr. McGregor sends a male shot at 
Rio Baco, Mindoro, April 12th, 1905. It is nearly allied to 
N. spilocephalus , Tw., which we have one of, and more 
distantly to N. philippensis, Bp cf. Bull. Philippine Mus., 
1904, p. 17. 
Mrs. J. J. Dawson Paul presented specimens of the Lesser 
Bird of Paradise ( Paradisea minor) from New Guinea, the 
South Island Kiwi ( Apteryx australis), and the Parson Bird 
( Prosthemadera novce-zealandice) from New Zealand. 
A Red-breasted Godwit ( Limosa kudsonica) from Buenos 
Ayres was also given by Mr. Walter Baring.
