Mr. Ogilby remarked, with reference to this .subject, that he had 

 had opportunities of observing, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, a 

 female of the Indian Antelope, in which, when he first saw her, the 

 lacrymal sinus was in a state of quie.scence : but when he observed 

 her again, a month afterwards, and probably in improved condition, 

 that organ was in a state as excitable as it is in the old male of the 

 Society's Gardens. 



He added, as a general remark, which, however, he stated was not 

 universal, that in intertropical animals the lacrymal sinus i.s larger 

 than in more northern species, and in those whose range is limited to 

 mountainous districts. 



He also described the lacrymal sinus of a species of Gazelle, which 

 he had observed after death : it consisted of a gland furnished with six 

 excretory ducts placed nearly in a circle, and with one central duct : 

 from the orifices of these ducts, when squeezed, there issued out 

 strings of a dense ceruminous matter. 



Mr. Bennett stated in conclusion, that since making his observa- 

 tions on the Indian Antelope, which had led him to form the opinion 

 he had advanced with respect to the use of the lacrymal sinus, he had 

 received from Mr. Hodgson of Nepal, a Corresponding Member of 

 the Society, a letter in which, among other subjects, some remarks 

 are made on this organ as it exists in the Thar Antelope, and in the 

 Cervus Jristotelis: in the former of those animals, Mr. Hodgson's
