Biological Section, 

 meeting of November 11, 1895. 



The following papers were presented. 



Prof. H F. OsBORN- "A Memorial Tribute to Prof. Thomas K. Huxley". 



Dr. Bashfobd Dean: "Notes of the Ancestral Sharks". In this paper 

 Cladoselachids were reviewed, and for the first thime the structural characters 

 of their vertebral skeleton, integument and Suspensorium were given; aud 

 together with these features was noted the lack of claspers, shown in a 

 dozen well preserved ventral fins, as significant of the fertilization condi- 

 tions of these early sharks. In these regards these Lower Carbon forma 

 would correspond to the usual Ichthyic type as of Teleostone or Lung 

 Fish. The absence of a pelvic girdle in these early forms is also signifi- 

 cant. 



Prof. H. F. Osboen: "Newly Mounted Skeletons of Titanotherium 

 and Metamyodou in the American Museum", with illustrations. 



Dr. J. L. Woetman: "The American Museum Expedition of 1895".

 exactly to the ritged character of the shell of its host.
