Sundal Valley iu Northern Norway. An interesting series 
of the nests of Frinyilla montifringUla and F. coilebs from 
the latter locality was also shown. 
Mr. ScHERREN exhibited photographs of a young Cuckoo 
taken at two separate stages of its work of ejecting a young 
Titlark from a nest. Though the fact of such ejection has 
been w'ell established, the photographs were of considerable 
interest as supplying incontrovertible evidence on the subject. 
The nest was found and watched by Mr. John Craig, a Scotch 
amateur naturalist, and the photographs were kindly sent by 
Mr. Peat Millar, of Beith, N.B., for exhibition. 
On the proposition of Mr. II. J. Pearson it was unani- 
mously agreed that a lantern evening should be held at 
the meeting in January next. 
Dr. BowmLER Sharpe read a letter from Dr. J. von 
Madarasz and exhibited a specimen of the Pale Swift, Apus 
murinus (Brehm), which he had shot near Piume. The 
specimen was decidedly small, as were all those procured by 
Dr. von Madarasz, but Dr. Sharpe stated that similar small 
individuals were to be noted from Spain and other portions 
of the bird^s range. 
Dr. Bowdler Sharpe exhibited some interesting specimens 
of birds obtained by Colonel Henry P. Northcott at Gambaga 
and in the Hinterland of the Gold Coast. The following 
was a list of the species met with by Colonel Northcott, and 
a reference is given to the page of Prof. Reichenow’s well- 
known paper on the adjoining country of Togo-Laud {” Zur 
Vogelfauna von Togo,^^ J. f. O. 1897, pp. 1-57) ; —
