the Smithsonian Institution, U. S. A. (March 9th), and 
believed to be the first examples of this singular Batrachian 
brought alive to this country. 
7. A young Yaguarundi Cat (Felis yaguarundi) from 
Panama, presented by Capt. G. E. Bird, of the Royal 
Mail S.S. Co.’s service. 
8. A female Musk (Moschus moschiferus), presented by 
Major F. R. Pollock, Commissioner at Peshawur, and most 
carefully conveyed to this country by Lieut. C. H. T. 
Marshall, F.Z.S., from whom it was received March 31st. 
This animal was captured in June 1867, in the Hills 
of Cashmere, by Major Delmé Radcliffe of the 88th 
Regiment, who brought it when quite a kid to Peshawur. 
It is believed to have been the only Musk ever brought to 
Europe alive. 
9. A Cape Eared Ow] (Otus capensis, Smith, Ill. Zool. 
S. Afr. t. Ixvii.), captured in Southern Spain by Major 
Irby, and deposited in the Society’s Gardens by Lord 
Lilford, F.Z.S., April 5th. In reference to this bird, it 
may be remarked that, although its occasional occur- 
rence upon the southern coast of Spain has been men- 
tioned some years ago, there is not any previous au- 
thentic record of a specimen of it having been obtained in 
Europe. 
10. An Aslian’s Wart-hog (Phacocherus elianit), captured 
near Zoulla, on the coast-district of the Red Sea, and 
brought to England in one of the transports engaged on 
the Abyssinian Expedition, April 15th. 
11. Five Greenland Seals (Phoca greenlandica) which 
were brought from the north by one of the sealing-vessels 
into Peterhead, and purchased for the Menagerie on the 
6th and 11th of May. This species of Seal has not 
been previously exhibited in the Society’s Menagerie, and 
presents several interesting points of difference when com- 
pared with its allies. In particular it is noticeable for the 
use of its fore limbs in locomotion, instead of progressing 
by the action of the muscles of the belly as is the case 
with Phoca vitulina and Phoca Setida. 
On the 18th of May two additional specimens of the 
same species were brought home in one of the Hudson’s 
Bay Company’s ships, and presented to the Society by Sir 
C. M. Lampson, Bart., F.Z.S. 
12, A Golden-headed Marmoset (Hapale chrysomelas), 
from Brazil, purchased May 14th, and believed to be the
