Double eggs of this description have been frequently 

 recorded before, and the only point of real interest about the 

 specimen is that it was laid in the autumn. According to 

 Parker''' "double eggs, so far as the records go, are limited 

 exclusively to the winter and spring." 



The egg was presented to the Manchester Museum by 

 Mrs. Nathan, of Didsbury. 



Professor F. E. Weiss, D.Sc, F.L.S., exhibited a medal 

 bearing in the centre of both sides a head of Linnaeus, and, 

 arranged round it, the names of the several orders, each having 

 an illustration of its classificatory character, into which Linnaeus 

 divided the vegetable kingdom. 



Mr. H. S. Leigh exhibited a frog that had been found near 

 Tyldesley at the bottom of a hole which was full of water after 

 the recent heavy rains. The hole had been dug six months 

 previously for the planting of a tree. The frog was remarkable 

 for being devoid of colour, with the exception of one small 

 patch, which was slightly mottled, and also for the clear red 

 colour of the eyes.
