2. SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS. 
An unusual number of communications, many of them 
of very great interest, having been made to the Society 
during the year 1867, it has been found necessary to 
increase the volume of ‘ Proceedings’ for the past year 
to rather an inconvenient size. It was, however, thought 
better to do this rather than to divide the ‘ Proceedings’ 
for the year into two volumes. 
The volume of the Society’s ‘Proceedings’ for 1867, 
which is now on the table and will be distributed to 
subscribers in a few days, contains nearly 1100 pages, 
illustrated by 47 (mostly coloured) plates. 
The following Parts of the Society’s ‘ Transactions’ were 
issued during the year 1867 :— 
Vou. VI. Parr II. 
On the Osteology of the Dodo (Didus inepius, Linn.). 
By Prof. Owen, F.R.S. With ten plates.

The Council again wish to call the particular attention 
of the Members to the advantages offered to subscribers to 
the Society’s Publications. The Subscription price of the 
Publications in the case of Fellows and Foreign and Cor- 
responding Members of the Society is now reduced to the 
sum of £1 1s. per annum, provided such Subscription be 
paid in advance, before the Anniversary Meeting of the 
Society, held on the 29th of April in each year.
