municated a paper by Miss Sophie M. Fedarb on some Earthworms from 

 India. Four species were treated of in this paper, of which the following 

 three were described as new: — Perichaeta cupulifera^ P. crescentica, and 

 Dichoy aster parvus. — Mr. W. E. de Win ton, F.Z.S., described a new Ro- 

 dent of the family Anomaluridae from the Benito River, French Congo, 

 which was referred to a new genus A'éthurus^ differing from both Anomaltirus 

 and Idiurus in not having any expanded flying-membranes, but resembling 

 the former in the formation of the tail, and being more like the latter in the 

 form of the skull. The species, proposed to be named A'éthurus glirinus, was 

 of the same size as Anomalurus Batest, grey in colour, with a black bushy 

 tail and a thickening of the skin of the low^er leg, in which are set jet-black 

 club-shaped hairs forming anklets. — A communication was read from Mr. 

 Stanley S. Flower, F.Z.S., in which he pointed out that the Gecko from 

 Penang described by Stoliczka as Cyrtodactyhis affinis and that described by 

 himself under the name of Gonatodes pciiangensis were identical, and that the 

 proper appellation of the species would be Gonatodes affinis. — P. L. Sol at er, 

 Secretary.
