Publications. 

 A new Part of the Transactions is now ready, consisting 

 of a selection of the more valuable Memoirs conimuni- 

 cated to the Society's Scientific Meetings. The materials 

 for another Part are also in a considerable state of forward- 

 ness; in addition to which, the Council anticipate the pub- 

 lication of the fourth Part before the next Anniversary, 

 completing a second Volume. 



The Volume of Proceedings for the past year, which, 

 with the Numbers up to the present date, will shortly be 

 completed, will be found to contain the descriptions of a 

 very large number of new species in the Classes Mammalia 

 and Birds. 



A new Catalogue of the Menagerie, for the use of the 

 Visitors at the Gardens, has also been published ; and an- 

 other, on a less popular plan, of the Specimens contained
