April 12, 1831. N. A. Vigors, Esq., in the Chair. 

 Mr. Colernan, adverting to the statement made at the last meet- 

 ing of the Committee that the female Armadillo had destroyed her 

 young, remarked that the cause of this apparent aberration of in- 

 stinct in a mother was generally to be found in the deficiency of 

 her supply of milk. In the many cases which had fallen under his 

 notice, in which female pigs, rabbits, and other domesticated ani- 

 mals had destroyed their progeny, he had always observed that the 

 secretion of milk in the mammary glands of the dam was greatly, if 

 not entirely, deficient.
