larly issued since the last Anniversary. The three parts 
for 1863 united together form a volume of 580 pages, 
illustrated by forty-two Plates, chiefly the production 
of Messrs. Wolf, Ford, and other eminent zoological 
artists. 
The first part of the Proceedings of the Scientific 
Meetings of the Society for the present year, containing 
the communications made to the meetings held during the 
months of January, February, and March, is in the press 
and will be published very shortly. 
Of the “Transactions” one part has been issued since 
the last Anniversary, namely, part iii. of the fifth volume, 
containing the following papers :-— 
Mr. W. H. Flower, “On the Brain of the Javan Loris 
(Stenops javanicus) .” 
Messrs. Alder and Hancock, “ Notice of a Collection of 
Nudibranchiate Mollusca, made in India by Walter Elliot, 
Esq., with descriptions of several new genera and species.” 
Mr. W. K. Parker, “On the Osteology of Gallinaceous 
Birds and Tinamous.”

the Plates by Messrs. Wolf, Erxleben, and Williams which 
illustrate them, will, it is believed, fully keep up the repu- 
tation already acquired by the Society’s “ Transactions.” 
In their last year’s Report, the Council called particular 
attention to the new plan of allowing the Fellows and Cor- 
responding Members of the Society to receive copies of all 
the Scientific Publications of the Society, upon payment of 
a subscription of £1 1s. per annum, provided such sub- 
scription be paid before the Anniversary Meeting of the 
year. They have now to announce that this arrangement 
has so far succeeded that 242 Fellows have registered 
themselves as Subscribers to the publications under this 
regulation. The Council, however, cannot but believe that 
as the number and value of the Society’s Scientific Publi- 
cations becomes known—the ordinary selling price of the 
“« Proceedings ” and “ Transactions” issued in each year 
being seldom less than from £4 to £5—more of their 
Members will be anxious to avail themselves of the privi- 
lege thus offered to them. 
Besides the ordinary Scientific Publications of the ~ 
Society during the past year, a second edition of the 
“Classified List of Vertebrated Animals exhibited in the 
Society’s Collection” has been prepared under the Secre-
