190 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
general and historical introduction to this group of Nudibranchs, i. e., those 
which bear the branchie upon the dorsal surface, more or less surrounding 
the arms, and allusion was made to all the observations which had been 
made upon these animals. The second part consisted of definitions of the 
larger divisions and of the genera, with the enumeration, synonyms, 
and habitats, as far as possible, of every species hitherto recorded. In the 
last general list, viz., that by H. and A. Adams, but 163 forms were 
mentioned ; this list included 457. The third part contained descriptions 
of forty-one hitherto undescribed species belonging to the genera Doris, 
Chromodoris, Hexabranchus, Acanthodoris, and Doridopsis. 
A communication was read from the Count Salvadori, containing notes 
on some birds mentioned by Dr. Cabanis and Mr. Reichenow as collected 
in Papuasia and in the Moluccas during the voyage of the ‘ Gazelle.’ 
March 20, 1877.—Dr. E. Hamitton, Vice-President, in the chair. 
Mr. Sclater called the attention of the meeting to an article in ‘ The 
Oriental Sporting Magazine’ for May, 1876, in which it appeared that 
a two-horned Rhinoceros had been killed in February, 1876, at a place 
some twenty miles south of Comillah, in Tipperah. Mr. Sclater said that 
this was the third recorded occurrence of a two-horned Rhinoceros north of 
the Bay of Bengal. 
Mr. Sclater also called attention to the fact that Mr. W. Jamrach had 
just imported a young living specimen of the Rhinoceros of the Bengal 
Sunderbunds, which was either [thinoceros sondaicus or a very closely- 
allied form. 
Mr. Sclater exhibited a small living Amphisbenian (Blanus cinereus), 
which had been accidentally brought to England in the roots of a hot-house 
plant from Port St. Mary, Spain, and was found at Clapham. 
Messrs. Charles G. Danford and Edward R. Alston read a paper on the 
Mammals of Asia Minor, based principally on collections made by the 
former in that country. The list included one species of Bat, two of 
Insectivores, twenty of Carnivores, seven of Ungulates, and fourteen of 
Rodents. Spermophilus xanthoprymnus, Benn., was re-described, and 
the name Mus mystacinus was proposed for a new species of Field 
Mouse. 
Mr. A. G. Butler read a paper on the Myriopoda obtained by the 
Rev. G. Brown in Duke of York Island. The species sent home were 
two in number, both of them allied to but distinct from previously 
described species. Mr. Butler proposed to designate them as Heterostoma 
Brownii and Spirobolus cinctifes. 
A commuication was read from the Rey. O. P. Cambridge, in which he 
gave the description of some Spiders collected by the Rey. G. Brown in 
Duke of York Island, New Britain, and New Ireland. Two of these
