LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
f Tue scientific publications of the Zoological Society are of two 
_ kinds —“ Proceedings,” published in an octavo form, and 
“Transactions,” in quarto. At the commencement of the year 
_ 1861, a new series of the former work was commenced, under 
_ the title “ Proceedings of the Scientific Meetings of the Zoolo- 
gical Society of London.” 
According to the present arrangements, the “ Proceedings” 
contain not only notices of all business transacted at the scien- 
_ tific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings 
and recommended to be published by the Committee of Pub- 
» lication. From forty to fifty coloured plates and engravings 
_ are attached to each annual volume of the “ Proceedings,” to 
illustrate the new or otherwise remarkable species of animals 
described in them. Amongst such illustrations, figures of the 
_ new or rare species acquired in a living state for the Society’s 
Gardens are often given. 
The “ Proceedings” for each year are issued in three parts, 
in the months of May, August, and February, the part pub- 
lished in February completing the volume for the preceding year. 
They may be obtained with or without the illustrations. 
The “ Proceedings ” without illustrations are delivered to the 
_ Fellows of the Society gratis on demand. The Fellows are like- 
wise entitled to purchase all the other publications of the Society 
at a reduction of one-fourth from the price at which they are 
published, and to receive the Illustrated Proceedings of the 
Society at a fixed subscription price of 10s. per part, or £1 : 12s. 
for the annual volume, bound in cloth. 
The “Transactions” contain such of the more important 
communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society 
as, on account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate 
them, are better adapted for publication im the quarto form. 
The numerous papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid 
Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis, all form part of 
1s series. 
The following is a complete list of the publications of the 
ociety already issued. They may be obtained at the Society’s 
ce (11, Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans’ the 
Society’s publishers, at Mr. J. Rothschild’s, the Society’s Agent 
t Paris and Leipzig, or through any bookseller.
