March 4, 



R. Brown, Esq., V.P., in the Chair. 



James Scott Bowerbank, Esq., Francis Plomley, M.D., and David 

 Price, Esq., were elected Fellows. 



Read the commencement of "An Enumeration of the Plants of 

 the Galapagos Islands." By J. D. Hooker, Esq., M.D., F.L.S. &c. 



Read also some Additions and Corrections to his " Monograph of 

 the Myriapoda Chilopoda " read during the last Session. By George 

 Newport, Esq. Communicated by the Secretary. 



These additions have reference chiefly to the characters and habits 

 of the family Lithohiidce, and to the genus Scolopendrella of M. Ger- 

 vais. This genus Mr. Newport had in his Synopsis Generum, pub- 

 lished at p. 193, proposed to refer as a subfamily to Geophilidce ; but 

 on a closer examination of its characters, he finds that they indicate 

 a much higher type of development and approximate it very nearly 

 to LithobiidcB. He proposes therefore to establish Scolopendrellidee 

 as a separate family, and to place them next after Lithobiidie.
