ing exhibited a specimen of a species of Peripalus from Antigua. — Mr. 

 Frederick Chapman, F.R.M.S., gave an account of some Foraminifera ob- 

 tained by the Royal Indian Marine Survey's SS. »Investigator« from the Ara- 

 bian Sea near the Laccadive Islands. The author described the forms found in 

 the samples sent him. As many as 277 species and varieties were enume- 

 rated, some of which were new to science. Several of the species , which 

 were here recorded for the first time from recent soundings , had been pre- 

 vio\isly known from the Pliocene deposits of Kar Nicobar. One of the forms 

 found in these recent deposits, viz., Amphistegina radiata (F. & M.), was 

 described by the author as showing the presence of interseptal canals , a 

 structure which had hitherto appeared to be restricted to Nummulites and 

 allied forms. Examples of embryonic forms of the same species were also 

 noted as being present in the peripheral chambers of the adult shell. — A 

 communication was read from Mr. P. R. Uhi er containing an enumeration 

 of the Hemiptera-Homoptera of the Island of St. Vincent, West Indies. This 

 paper had been based on specimens submitted to Mr. Uhler by the joint 

 Committee of the Royal Society and British Association for the exploration 

 of the Lesser Antilles. — A communication from Mr. T. D. A. Cocker ell, 

 F.Z.S., contained a description of a new species of the family Coccidae be- 

 longing to Lichtensia^ a genus new to the fauna of the Nearctic Region. The 

 species was named L. lycii. — Mr. S dater read some notes on the recent 

 occurrence of the Barbary Sheep in Egypt. A flock of these sheep had vi- 

 sited the eastern bank of the Nile above Wady Haifa in the summer of 1890.

 breeding of the Surinam Water- Toad [Pipa americana) in the Society's Rep- 

 tile-house. — P. L. Sclater, Secretary.
