xxvi PROCEEDINGS, NOVEMBER. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
The SECRETARY (Mr. A. Morton) drew attention to the large and 
valuable collection of mammals and birds reczived from the Royal 
Museum at Florence, and mentioned that Professor Giglioli, who sent 
them, had some 30 years ago written a book on the Tasmanians, and 
although he now had but one copy he was determined to procure 
another and present it to the Royal Society. (Applause.) 
On the motion of the Hon. C. H. GRANT, a unanimous vote of thanks 
was passed to Professor Giglioli. 
Sir LAMBERT DoBson proposed a similar compliment to the contri- 
butors of papers
