PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
January 9, 1849. 
William Yarrell, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. 
The Secretary reported that since the last Meeting of the Society 
a beautiful living example of Felis viverrina, Benn., had been pre- 
sented by Capt. Scanlan, from whose valuable cooperation he had 
reason to believe that the Menagerie would receive some still more 
important additions. 
A small collection of Insects and Reptiles in spirit had been pre- 
sented by Dr. E. D. Dickson, Corr. Memb., and Mr. Gagliuffi, British 
Vice-Consul at Morzook, obtained by them at Bornoo, Morzook, and 
Tripoli, together with sixteen skins of Birds and five skins of Mam- 
malia, including a magnificent specimen of the Weddan, Ovis trage- 
laphus, or Wild Sheep of Barbary. 
A collection of Reptiles in spirit, formed in Hayti by J. N. Tweedy, 
Esq., Corr. Memb., and presented by him, were also exhibited to the 
Meeting. 
The following papers were read :-—
