publication a detailed account of the specimens which they con- 

 sidered to be the types of two new genera, as well as the first 

 example of cheilostomatous polyzoa which had been recognised in 

 Carboniferous strata. Tliese specimens, the Limuhis and Cephalaspis 

 Lyelli, some fine examples of which were in the Lanfine collection, 

 Dr Young made the text of an address on "Intermediate or 

 Annectant Forms." He referred to what he had said in former 

 addresses regarding independent resemblance, and pointed out the 

 clear distinction drawn by Sir John Lubbock in the " Origin of 

 Insects " between hereditary and adaptive modifications, -the 

 distinction between anatomical and physiological change being 

 one not always regarded by English zoologists.

 On the motion of the chairman, it was unanimously agreed to 

 record in the minutes an expression of the regret with which the
