LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, 
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 “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 in the quarto form. 
The numerous papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid 
Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis, all form part of 
this series. 
By a recent regulation of the Council, the Fellows and Foreign 
and Corresponding Members of the Society are entitled to re- 
ceive all the publications of the Society at a subscription price 
of £1 1s. per annum, provided such subscription be paid before 
the Anniversary Meeting in each year. They are likewise en- 
titled to purchase all the publications of the Society at a reduction 
of one-fourth from the price at which they are published. 
The following is a complete list of the publications of the 
Society already issued. They may be obtained at the Society’s 
Office (11, Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans’ the 
Society’s publishers (Paternoster Row, E.C.), at M. J. Roth- 
schild’s, the Society’s Agent at Paris (14 Rue de Bucy) and 
Leipzig (2 Querstrasse), or through any bookseller :—
