February 8, 1831. N. A. Vigors, Esq. in the Chair. 



It was announced that the Council had Resolved, " That the 

 Meetings of the Committee are open to every Member of the So- 

 ciety." In this resolution the Committee cordially concurred ; and 

 also in the propriety of distributing cards of the Meetings to the 

 Members of the Society residing in or near London. 



The skeleton and parts of the viscera of one of the Society's spe- 

 cimens of the Chinchilla, (Chinchilla lanigera,) were exhibited, and 

 the following notes by Mr. Yarrell were read. 



" On the death of one of the specimens of this interesting little 

 animal in the collection of the Zoological Society, the Museum, 

 previously containing a preserved skin, was enriched with a skeleton 

 and preparations of parts of the viscera. Of these additions I have 

 been permitted to furnish a description, which I was the more de- 

 sirous to do, as no notice of the internal parts of this animal has 

 appeared, that I am aware of, except as far as regards its dentition ; 

 and on this part of the subject I was anxious to correct an error I 

 had committed in a short notice published in the fourth volume of 

 the ' Zoological Journal/ page 317, from the prescribed use of li- 

 mited materials.
