[[underlined]] Puffinus leucomelas, Urosphena squamiceps, Xanthopygia xanthopygia, Erithacus sibilans, Galerida coreensis, [[/underlined]] etc., etc., and last, but not least, a pair of [[underlined]] Pitta nympha, [[/underlined]] the first specimens found since Schlegel and Temminck described the species from a Japanese drawing. (Purchased).

[[underlined]] Dr. E. Rey, [[/underlined]] Leipzic, Germany, 20 specimens, 20 species, from various countries, a very valuable collection containing many species hitherto unrepresented in the Museum, among which the curious terrestrial Jay, [[underlined]] Podoces hendersoni, [[/underlined]] from Central Asis, and the large pale [[underlined]] Bubo sibiricus, [[/underlined]] from the Altai Mountains in Southern Siberia.

[[underlined]] F. Ringer, [[/underlined]] Nagasaki, Japan, 109 specimens, 74 species, from Southern Japan. A very interesting addition to the collection of Japanese birds now in the museum. Among the chief attractions is a fine male of the true Soemmering's Pheasant proving that all the specimens in the museum believed to be this bird in reality belong to the [[underlined]] Phasianus scintillans, [[/underlined]] a distinct species. There is also a specimen of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper [[underlined]] (Eurinorhynchus pygmaeus). [[/underlined]] (Gift).
