Various Contributors : Transactions of the Zoological Society 



9f j9f ./London. Vol. I. Parti. 4to, 90 pages. n )^m pe 



plates coloured, 195.; to Fellows of the Society, 145.: with 



the plates uncoloured, 165.; to Fellows, 125. London, 1833. 



The contents of this first part are entitled " Transactions," 

 not " The Transactions," of the Zoological Society; by which 

 foreigners and others will please to understand that the con- 

 tributions to science herein published are but a small portion 

 of the communications, and discoveries, and passing notices, 

 on subjects of zoology, which the Zoological Society has been 

 the means of eliciting, evolving, and accumulating. Abstracts 

 of the more numerous results of the Society's labours are 

 periodically published, in Octavo, under the title of Proceed- 

 ings of the Zoological Society; and these form a useful store 

 of notices on subjects of zoology. 



In the Transactions, the part before us shows that the in- 

 tention is to pursue, explicate, and illustrate more fully and 

 completely the descriptions and anatomical analyses of those 

 animals which, from their rarity, peculiarity of structure, or 

 from presenting other sources" of interest to the zoologist, 

 may merit and command more elaborate and detailed treatises 

 than it is within the scope of the smaller work, the Proceedings, 

 to receive. * 888 * ° 02 *^ k ^n&«wO 



Part I. of the Transactions contains the following essays : —
