Two Parts of the Society's ' Transactions ' were issued 

 during the year 1885, namely : — 



Vol. XI. Part X. (June, 1885). 



On the Muscular and Endoskeletal Systems of Limulus 

 and Scorjno ; with some Notes on the Anatomy and 

 Generic Characters of Scorpions. By E. Ray Lankester, 

 M.A., LL.D., F.R.S., Jodrell Professor of Zoology, assisted 

 by W. B. S. Benham and Miss E. J. Beck (with twelve 

 plates). 



Vol. XI. Part XI. (concluding the volume) 



(November, 1885). 



A Monograph of the Odontolabini, a subdivision of the 

 Coleopterous family Lucanidae. By Frank Leuthner, 

 Ph.D., Member of the Imperial Royal Zoological and 

 Botanical Society of Vienna (with fourteen plates) . 



Along with the last Part was also issued the titlepage, 

 contents, and index for the eleventh volume of the Society's 

 Transactions, rendering this volume complete. 



Two more Parts of the 'Transactions' (Parts 1 and 2 of 

 Vol. XII.) have been already issued during the present 

 year, and several other parts are in a forward state. It is 

 hoped and expected, therefore, that the arrears in this 

 branch of the Publications, which have been occasioned 

 by difficulties connected with bringing out one of the 

 memoirs in the eleventh volume, will be shortly made 

 good. 



3. Library. 



The Library, under the superintendence of Mr. Water- 

 house, has been kept in good order during the past year, 

 and has been in constant use by working zoologists. 



A new edition of the Library Catalogue is in preparation, 

 and will be ready for issue in 1887- 



Many important additions were made to the Library 

 during 1885, among which attention may be called to the 

 following donations : — 



Bell. Comparative Anatomy and Phj'siology. 1885 Presented 



by the Author. 

 Boulenger. Catalogue of Lizards in the British Museum. 2 vols.
