470 MR. G. E, DOBSON ON NEW SPECIES OF Bats. [June 15, 
Sir Victor Brooke exhibited original drawings by Mr. Wolf of the 
two species of Koodoo, Tragelaphus strepsiceros and T. imberbis*, 
and pointed out the distinctions between these two animals. The 
figure of the latter was taken from a specimen received by Sir 
Victor Brooke from the Juba river, Somali Coast, which was, no 
doubt, the true habitat of this species. 
Mr. Sclater read a memoir on the Rhinoceroses now or lately living 
in the Society’s Menagerie. ‘This will be published in the Society’s 
‘ Transactions.’ 
Prof. Owen, C.B., F.R.S., read the twenty-first of his series of 
memoirs on the extinct birds of the genus Dinornis of New Zealand, 
and their allies. ‘The present paper contained an account of some 
bones of Harpagornis moorei, found in the turbaries of Glenmark, 
near Christchurch, New Zealand. 
Dr. James Hector, F.R.S., exhibited a specimen of the pelvis of 
Harpagornis moorei of Haast, which had been found on the surface 
of the ground under a rock, in the province of Otago, New Zealand, 
by Mr. A. Low. It had been figured in Trans. N.Z. Inst. vol. vi., 
and was the property of the Colonial Museum, Wellington, N. Z. 
Mr. G. Dawson Rowley, F.Z.S., exhibited skins of Nasiterna geel- 
vinkiana, S and @ , which, as far as he knew, were new to this country; 
also an example of NV. pygmea ¢, to show the difference between 
the two species. It appeared that NV. geelvinkiana was a trifle 
smaller than NV. pygmea. 
The following papers were read :—
