sich übrigens auch beim Genus Allolohophora constati eren. Sie zer- 

 fallen in zwei Gruppen; die eine bildet einen Bestandtheil der Typhlo- 

 solis, die andere einen Abschnitt in jedem Nephridialcanal. « Auf der 

 Seite vorher ist dagegen von oft sehr regelmäßig im Körper vertheilten 

 Leucocytenansammlungen die Rede, die nicht für Organe erklärt 

 werden, sondern die ich bereits vor Cue not als das erkannt und 

 beschrieben habe, was sie sind — nämlich als »Zellansammlungen«, 

 die aus Leucocyten bestehen. Über die Grenzen und die Eintheilung 

 des Begriffes »phagocy tares Organ« kann ich hier nicht näher eingehen, 

 das Nöthige findet sich im anatomischen Anzeiger Bd. XIII. p. 399.

15th March, 1898. — The Secretary read a report on the additions that 

 had been made to the Society's Menagerie during the month of February 

 1898. — A communication from Sir Edmund Loder, Bart., F.Z.S., con- 

 tained copies of some photographs of the Beaver-pond at Leonardslea, Hors- 

 ham, and gave a short account of the habits of the animals as there observed. 

 — Mr. R. E. Holding exhibited a pair of horns of the Sunga or Galla Ox 

 of Abyssinia, and made some remarks on the horns of this and other varie- 

 ties of the Humped Cattle of India and Africa. — A communication from 

 Dr. G. Stewardson Brady, F.R.S. 'on new or imperfectly-known species 

 of Ostracoda, chiefly from New Zealand', was read. It contained descriptions 

 of the Ostracoda collected in New Zealand by Mr. H. Suter, for the Zoolo- 

 gical Museum of Copenhagen, and by Mr. G. M. Thomson, of Dunedin. It 

 also included a description of an Ostracod from the Bay of Bengal, present- 

 ing some remarkable peculiarities of the mouth-organs, and constituting the 

 type of a new genus, which was proposed to be called Eupathistonia. Of the 

 New Zealand species treated of 16 were described as new, and the new ge- 

 neric term Trachyleheris was proposed for the reception of Cythere scabrocu- 

 neata^ Brady. — Mr. E. H. J. Schuster, F.Z.S., described a new species of 

 Flagellate Protozoan, which he proposed to name Lophomonas sulcata. This 

 species occured as an endo-parasite in the upper part of the colon of Blatta 

 americana, Linn. It could not be definitely stated whether it occurred also in 

 other species. The Blattae in which it was found had come from the Socie- 

 ty's Gardens. — Mr. J. T. Cunningham read a paper on the early post- 

 larval stages of the Common Crab ( Cancer pagunis) , and pointed out the af- 

 finity of that species with the Circular Crab [Atelecyclm heterodon). — Mr. 

 Oldfield Thomas read a paper on some mammals collected by the late Mr. 

 Henry Durnford in 1877-8 in Chubut, Patagonia. None of the species 

 to which they were referable were new, but Mr. Durnford's notes on their 

 habits and the record of their localities were thought to be worthy of publi- 

 cation. — Mr. Martin Jacob y , F.E.S., contributed an addition to our know- 

 ledge of the Phytophagous Coleoptera of Africa by describing 43 new spe- 

 cies of the groups Haltlcinae and Galerucinaf, specimens of which had been 

 collected by Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall in Mashonaland and West Africa. 

 Two new genera, viz. Cheiridisia and Pseudediisia , were characterized. — P. 

 L. Scia ter, Secretary.
