Bv R- BOWDLER SHARPE, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c, Senior Assistant, Zoological Department, British Museum. [Eeceived February 6, 1877.] When my friend Mr. Ussher was appointed Governor of Labuan, the first thing that I naturally asked him, was to try and get additional specimens of the Lobiophasis bulweri. I have received several letters from him, announcing the successive failures of his attempts to obtain more examples of this bird; but at last I heard from him that, although the collector w h o m he had sent to the Lawas river had not met with the longed for Pheasant, he had procured a pair of an apparently new species, which I might expect to see before long. |
