sit in groups up to six on the trees near the shore, and do not 
move when one passes. They eat Grasshoppers and Scolopendras 
(Centipedes).’ — (G. Bauer, in lift.). The specimen purchased is a 
rufous bird, on the under parts especially, in which it resembles 
the mounted one in the gallery of the National collection. The 
iris is marked as clay-colour on the ticket by Dr. Bauer. 
“For Krider’s Buzzard wo have to thank Mr. Arthur Stark, 
who shot the example now presented, at Pelican Lake, which is 
the more interesting, as it is one of the specimens described in 
‘The North American Birds,’ by Baird, Brewer, and Kidgway. 
“The Tinnunculus alopex was, 1 believe, a bird my late father 
particularly desired to possess, yet, though described so long ago 
as 18f>G, he never had a chance of getting one ; but with the 
opening up of Central Africa, this and many other at present 
rare birds may, perhaps, become much more plentiful in a few 
years’ time. It is an adult female of a foxy red colour (but the 
sexes do not differ materially), shot at Keren, Eritrea, forty miles 
from the Red Sea.” 
These are new to the collection ; as also a specimen of Scops 
sibutuemis from Sibutu, one of the Philippine Islands, presented 
by Mr. Gurney. Mr. Bazitt Haggard has presented twenty-four 
bird-skins from Samoa, including Strix delicatula, Didunridus 
strigirostris , and nine other good species. Two specimens of 
llieracidea oriental is, an Australian Falcon, and ten other skins 
of birds from Victoria were contributed by Mr. W. II. M. Andrews. 
Two very handsome cases, the one containing six specimens of the 
curious Kakapo Parrot (Stritigops habroptilus), suitably mounted, 
and the other three adult specimens of the lvea (Nestor notabilis), 
also handsomely mounted, to illustrate the acquired carnivorous 
habits of this singular bird, were obtained through the intervention 
of Mr. Edward Corder, by the liberality of Mr. Alfred Haldinstein 
and Mr. Louis J. Tillett respectively. 
Mr. Gurney has added the Eggs of four species of Birds of Prey 
to the collection ; and, in addition to the birds already mentioned, 
the Museum is indebted to Mr. \V. II. M. Andrews for the eggs of 
fourteen species of Australian birds, most of which were desiderata 
to the collection. 
In the department of Ichthyology, Mr. A. Patterson has presented 
a very rare fish taken at Yarmouth, the Rose Perch (Scorpasna
