SPECIMENS EXHIBITED. 



Dr Young exhibited specimens of Eariipkrm Scoulerl (Hibbert), 

 obtained from the lower carboniferous strata near Dunse, and 

 presented to the Hunterian Museum by Mr William Stevenson of 

 that town. This is the second specimen exhibited in Glasgow, 

 the first — the type specimen — being deposited in the Andersonian 

 Museum. After pointing out the specific character, Dr Young 

 said he would defer more detailed observ^ations on the fossil, as 

 Mr Young had informed him that fui'ther examples were to be 

 sent. Dr Young also exhibited a very fine example of the Austra- 

 lian spiny lizard {Moloch horridus, Gray), presented to the Hun- 

 terian Museum by Mr Kirsop, Argyle Street. 



Mr Gray exhibited three specimens of the Great-Spotted Wood- 

 pecker (Pious major), male, female, and young bird of the first 

 year, from Forfarshire and Banff"shire. For two of the specimens 

 he expressed himself indebted to Mr James Murison, station 

 master, Tillynaught Junction, by whom they had been shot in 

 that neighbourhood a few weeks previously. Mr Gray also 

 exhibited a specimen of Leach's Petrel (Thalassidroma Leachii), 

 which had been captured near the Loch of Forfar a few months 

 ago. 



The Secretary exhibited a small collection of zoophytes and 

 shells from Banff'shire and Ayrshire, forwarded by Messrs John 

 Macdonald, Buckie, and Thomas Anderson, Girvan, corresponding 

 members. Two of the characteristic shells of the Buckie coast 

 were Pimui ingens and Fusus carneus; and among the zoophytes 

 from Girvan there were several large specimens of Pennatula
