It is reluctantly proposed to institute a new genus in a family 

 already sufficiently complicated ; nevertheless, as this bird combines 

 the characters of Si/lvia, Regulus, and Parus in its ■vving, tail and 

 bill, it is deemed necessary to make it the type of a genus of "which 

 more species ■vvill probably be discovered as our intercourse with the 

 remote regions from whence it is derived becomes more extended.

 Eurylaimus Dalkousii, Wils., like\vise from the Chatham coUection, 

 of which only two other specimens are knoTvn to exist in Europe. 



Various specimens of Fishes and other marine animals, collected 

 by J. B. Harvey, Esq., Corr. Memb. Z. S., on the south coast of 

 Devonshire, ■vvere exhibited : and Mr. Yarrell called the attention of 

 the Meeting to them, and to the Fishes in particular, remarking on 

 their characters and habits, Eind on the peculiarities of their intemal 

 structure. 



A note by Mr. AUis of York, forwarded through Mr. Bell, was
