appeared to be undescribed, and were named Argiope Brownii and Sarotes 
vulpinus. 
Prof. A. H. Garrod read a paper containing notes on the Anatomy of 
the Musk Deer (Moschus moschiferus). 
A communication was read from Mr. Edward Bartlett, containing 
remarks on the affinities of Mesites, a rare Madagascan bird, and the 
position which it should occupy in a natural classification. From an 
examination of the structure of the feathers, Mr. Bartlett had come to the 
conclusion that Mesites was an aberrant form of the Ardeine group. 
Dr. Giinther read a paper containing an account of the Fishes collected 
by Capt. Feilden during the recent Arctic Expedition. Amongst them 
were several of great interest, especially a new species of Charr, for which 
the name Salmo arcturus was proposed. This Charr was discovered in 
fresh-water lakes of Grinnell Land, and was stated to be the most northern 
fresh-water fish known to exist. 
' Mr. Edward Newton exhibited and read a paper on a collection of Birds 
made in the island of Anjuan or Johanna, one of the Cormoro group, by 
Mr. Bewsher, of Mauritius, whereby the number of species known to have 
occurred in that island was raised to thirty-five, of which fourteen were 
first observed there by that gentleman. Five of them—namely, Zosterops 
Anjuanensis, Tchitrea vulpina, Ellisia longicaudata, Turdus Bewsheri, and 
Turtur comorensis—were described as new.—P. L. Sclater.

new to Britain, taken by Mr. J. Dunsmore near Paisley; also a British

The Secretary exhibited a specimen of an Isopod Crustacean, which 
had been forwarded to him by Mr. J. M. Wills, Surgeon 8.8. ‘City of 
Canterbury,’ who stated that it was found occasionally parasitic on the 
flying fish, and generally close to the pectoral fins.
