The above are not exactly in generic order. J may remark that 
the great majority of the animals were in the Society’s collection. 
As this Society was established partly for the cultivation of phy- 
siology, I may be excused, I hope, for saying a word in conclusion in 
reference to the ruminants in this table. In 1853, when I showed 
the valves in the splenic veins of the Giraffe to this Society (P. Z. 8. 
1853, p. 99), Kolliker, Carpenter, and all writers denied the exist- 
ence of valves in the abdominal veins; but I have found that all 
the quadrupeds mentioned in this table, as well as many others of 
a different order, possess them, not only in the intestinal veins, but 
often in the splenic and renal. 
Time will not permit me to enter on the anatomy of the Eland on 
this occasion; I must therefore defer the paper until a future Meeting. 
February 23, 1864. 
John Gould, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair. 
Dr. E. Crisp exhibited some drawings representing the eggs and 
young of the Anaconda (Zunectes murinus). 
Mr. F. T. Buckland made some observations on the habits of 
spawning Trout, and on the results obtained in the course of experi- 
ments he had made with eggs taken from dead fishes.
