Dr. Edward Hamilton, F.Z.S., a photograph of an example of the Siberian 

 Crane [Grus leucogeranus), shot on the island of Barra, Outer Hebrides, in 

 August last. — Mr. 11. Lydekker, F.Z.S. , gave a description of some 

 Pleistocene Bird-remains from the Sardinian and Corsican Islands. These 

 belonged mostly to recent forms, but to genera and species which in several 

 instances had not been found fossil. They showed rather more of an African 

 character than the present Avifauna of these Islands. — Mr. R. Lydekker 

 also read some notes on the remains of a large Stork from the Allier Mio- 

 cene. These remains were referred to the genus, closely allied to Ckonia, 

 lately named Pelargopsis , but which (that term being preoccupied) it was 

 now proposed to rename Pelargoides. — Mr. R. Lydekker also exhibited 

 and made remarks on the leg-bones of an extinct Dinornithine Bird from 

 New-Zealand, upon which he proposed to base a new species allied to 

 Pachyornis elephantopus (Owen), and to call it, after the owner of the speci- 

 mens, Pachyornis Eothschildi. — Dr. A. Günther, F.R.S., read a descrip- 

 tion of a remarkable new Fish from Mauritius, belonging to the genus Scor- 

 paena , which he proposed to call Scorpaena frondosa . — A communication 

 was read from Mr. Roland Trimen, F.Z.S. , containing an account of the 

 occurrence of a specimen of the scarce Fish Lophotes cepedianus, Giorna, at 

 the Cape of Good Hope. — A communication was read from the Hon. L. 

 W. Rothschild, F.Z.S., giving a description of a little-known species of 

 Papilio from the Island of Lifu, Loyalty Group. — Mr.R. J. Lechmere Guppy, 

 C.M.Z.S., read some remarks on a fine specimen of Pleurotomaria from the 

 island of Tobago. — A communication was read from Mr. L. Péringuey, 

 giving an account of a series of Beetles collected in Tropical South-western 

 Africa by Mr. A. W. Eriksson. — P. L. Sclater, Secretary. 



2. Berichtigung. 



Die letzte Anmerkung zu meinem Artikel in Nummer 376 dieses Blattes 

 Keimstreifen und Mesoblaststreifen bei Hirudineen) bedarf einer kleinen 

 Correctur. In dem Satze über Roh de' s Arbeit: »Er hat offenbar kein ein- 

 ziges leidliches Praeparat gesehen, sonst könnte er wenigstens das umhüllende 

 Bindegewebe der Längscommissuren von den Nervenfibrillen und der Neu- 

 roglia unterscheiden« — ist das Wort Längscommissuren ein Lapsus 

 calami, an dessen Stelle »Nervenfasern (namentlich bei Aulastoma)« zu 

 setzen ist.
