1. Zoological Society of London. 



19*^ March, 1889. — The Secretary read a list of the fishes collected 

 at Constantinople and sent to the Society by Dr. E. D. Dickson, C.M.Z.S. 

 The species were sixty-six in number, and had been determined by Mr. G. 

 A. Boulenger, F.Z.S. — Mr. Tegetmeier exhibited a female Gold Phea- 

 sant in male plumage, and a curiously distorted pair of horns of the Ibex of 

 Cashmir. — The Rev. A. H. Cooke, F.Z.S., read a paper on the position 

 of the land-shells of Australia and the adjacent islands, commonly referred 

 to the genus Physa, which it was shown (mainly from an examination of the 

 radula) were really more nearly allied to the genus Limnaea. Mr. Cooke pro- 

 posed to refer these species to the genus Bulinus, established by Adanson 

 in 1757. — Mr. G. A. Boulenger, F.Z.S. , read notes on some specimens 

 of Lizards belonging to the Zoological Museum of Halle, which had been 

 sent to him for examination. To these notes were appended revised descrip- 

 tions of two Lizards from the Argentine Republic — Gymnodactylus horridtis 

 and Urostrophus scapulattis. — A communication was read from Prof. W. 

 N. Parker, Ph.D., F.Z.S., containing an account of the occasional persi- 

 stence of the left posterior cardinal vein in the Frog. This condition, abnor- 

 mal in the Frog, was shown to be essentially normal in Protopterus. — A 

 communication was read from Mr. J. Douglas Ogilby, containing notes on 

 some fishes new to the Australian fauna. — Mr. Oldfield Thomas read a 

 paper giving the description of a new Bornean Monkey belonging to the 

 genus Semnopithecus , obtained by Mr. Charles Hose on the north-west coast 

 of Borneo. The author proposed to name it Semnopithecus Hosei, after its 

 discoverer. — P. L. S dater, Secretary.
