Two specimens from his collection of Maltese birds, viz. : — 
A cream-coloured variety of the Common Nightjar 
{Caprimulgns europmcs, ? ) and a Turtle-Dove 
{Turtur isabellinus, Bp.). This latter bird had not been 
taken before in the Maltese Islands, and should now 
be added to the list of occasional visitors. It was 
obtained in the market on the 2nd May, 1885, and had 
hitherto been considered to be a pale variety of the 
Common Turtle-Dove {Turtur turtur). Cf. P. Z. S. 188(J,
