The Scientific Meetings were regularly held at the 
Society’s rooms in Hanover Square, on the usual Thurs- 
day evenings, during the year 1869. No less than 160 
different communications ‘on various zoological subjects 
were made to these meetings during the year: 98 of these 
were from Fellows, 3 from Foreign Members, and 35 from 
Corresponding Members of the Society. The remaining 
24 papers were from individuals not belonging to the 
Society, and were communicated to it by the Secretary 
or by other Members. The total number of communica- 
tions in the year 1868 was 129. 
After the close of the present Session, the Council have 
determined, in accordance with a recommendation from 
the Committee of Publication (to whom the general man- 
agement of the Scientific Meetings is intrusted), to revert 
to their former practice of meeting on Tuesday evenings
