Trionyx coromandelicus, Geoff.; Wagler, N. Syst. Amph. t. 2.

We have lately received specimens from Allahabad and Sikkim, 
collected by the brothers Schlagintweit. 
2. EmypA CEYLONENSIS, Gray, l.c. f. 4. t. 29 a. 
Emyda vittata (Peters, Monatsb. 1854, p. 216), from Goa, appears 
to be the same as E. ceylonensis, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1855, p. 201; 
Cat. Shield Rept. 64. t. 29 @ (1855). This animal is also figured 
by Mr. Bell as the true Hmyda punctata, in his ‘ Testudinata,’ t. 1, 2.

Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., in the Chair. 
Dr. E. Crisp read a paper, entitled ‘‘ Contributions to the Anatomy 
of the Eland.” 
The following papers were read :— 
1. On THE Mammats CoLLECTED AND OsseRVED By Capt. 
J. H. SpeKE DURING THE East-Arrican Exrepition. By 
P. L. Sctater; with Notes sy Capt. J. H. Speke. 
(Plates XII., XIII.) 
Owing to the serious difficulties encountered on the route, the 
specimens of Mammals collected by Capt. Speke and Capt. Grant 
during the East-African Expedition are not so numerous, and those 
that have reached England are not in so perfect a condition, as might 
have been wished. ‘They consist principally of heads and horns of 
‘Antelopes, and fragmentary parts of these and other species of ani- 
mals killed for food—powder and shot having been too precious to 
admit of its habitual use for the purpose merely of procuring speci- 
mens. These, however, together with Capt. Speke’s notes as to 
several well-known species, supply us with indications of the exist- 
ence in Eastern Africa, between Zanzibar and Gondokoro, of species 
of Mammals belonging to the following orders :—
