Crocodiles, and Birds'', in which an attempt was made to analyze the com- 

 plex conditions of the membranes observable in the last two groups, and to 

 express them in terms of the simpler structures found in the Lizards. — Mr. 

 J. H. Leech, F.Z.S., read the third part of his paper on the Lepidoptera of 

 Japan and Corea, comprising an account of the Noctuae and Deltoidae ; in 

 all upwards of 475 species. Of these forty-six were now described as new 

 to science, and two others were considered to be varietal forms. — Mr. R. 

 Lydekker, F.Z.S., read a paper on the remains of a Theriodont Reptile 

 from the Karoo System of the Orange Free State. The remains described 

 were an associated series of vertebrae and limb-bones of a comparatively 

 large Theriodont, which was probably different from any described form. The 

 humerus was of the normal Theriodont type, and quite distinct from the one 

 on which the genus Propappus had been founded, which the author considered 

 to belong to a form closely allied to, if not generically identical with, Paria- 

 saurus. — Mr. G. ß. Sow erb y, F.Z.S., read the descriptions of thirteen 

 new or rare species of Land-Shells from various localities. — A communi- 

 cation was read from Mr. Edward A. Minchin containing an account of the 

 mode of attachment of the embryos to the oral arms of Aurelia anrita. It was 

 shown that the embryos of Aurelia aurita are developed on the arms, in broad 

 capsules formed as evaginations of the walls of the oral groove, and that the 

 capsules increase in size with the addition of more embryos. — P. L.
