2. The Hon. Secretary drew the attention of the meeting to a number of rare birds sent for exhibition by Mr. H. Baker, of Waipawa. Two of these were Kakas (M. meridionalis), one a red variety, the other nearly a pure albino. A living specimen of the Kea was examined with much interest. A stuffed specimen of a pied variety of the Black Stilt Plover (H. novœ-zealandiœ), obtained by Mr. Hamilton at Petane, was on the table.
