 conservator of the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons 

 in London. This is an elaborate and very useful contribution 

 to the stores of the science of comparative anatomy. The 

 animals with whose stomachs the author has compared that of 

 the Semnopithecus, are the kangaroo, a large bat of the genus 

 Pteropus, P. rubricollis Geoff.) and the sloth (Bradypus). The 

 concluding remark is: — " To those who are more especially 

 interested in investigating the natural affinities of the animal 

 kingdom? it must be highly gratifying to find the Quadru- 

 mana [four-handed animals] manifesting new instances of 

 relation to genera which the immortal Linnaeus considered to 

 be so closely connected with them." Two plates are added. 



8. Description, with some additional particulars, of the 

 A'pteryx australis of Shaw ; by Wm. Yarrell, Esq. F.L.S* 

 and Z.S. This communication collects and presents all the 

 information at present acquirable respecting this most singular 

 bird, whose very existence has been questioned. Mr. Yarrell 

 has minutely described the characteristics offered by Lord 

 Stanley's specimen (originally Dr. Shaw's, who figured it in 

 his Naturalist's Miscellany), the only one known; and has 

 quoted,' from " the accounts of several travellers," interesting 

 information as to the native places of abode, &c, of this most 

 singular bird : of which a figure is given. This done, we 

 may, with Mr. Yarrell, " fairly 'indulge a hope" that steps 

 will henceforth be taken " to supply the deficiencies which at 

 present exist in our knowledge of the natural history of the 

 apteryx." kjnsb sdT 'Visifoo 9ffo no ,yiifn9ri9£ <[.o>>8 •aba
