158 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Mr. R. Lydekker pointed out the characters of an apparently new 
species of Hyracodontotherium, based on specimens from the phosphorites 
of Bach, near Lalbengue, in France. 
Dr. A. Giinther described some new fishes from the Kilima-njaro district 
in Eastern Africa, based on specimens obtained by Mr, F. J. Jackson during 
his recent expedition into that country. He also exhibited a dried specimen 
of a fish obtained by Mr. H. C. V. Hunter from one of the crater-lakes in 
the same district, which he referred to a new genus and species of Chromide, 
proposed to be called Oreochromis hunteri. 
Dr. Giinther also exhibited a pair of horns of an Antelope obtained 
many years ago in the interior of Southern Central Africa, which were 
remarkable for their length and gentle backward curvature, with only a 
very slight twist near the tips. He referred these horns to a new species 
proposed to be called Antilope triangularis. 
Dr. Giinther read some notes on a Bornean Porcupine, which he had 
formerly described as being without a tail, and named T’richys lipura. It 
now appeared that some specimens of this animal possessed a long and 
slender tail, but that other characters would necessitate the retention of 
the genus as distinct from Atherura. 
Mr. F. E. Beddard read a paper directing attention to certain points 
in the anatomy of the Accipitres with reference to the affinities of Poly- 
boroides. This form was shown to asi to the Falconide, and to have no 
real affinities with Serpentarius. — —.___ 
Sir Walter Buller read a paper on a ‘species of Crested Penguin from 
the Auckland Islands, based on a specimen lately living in the Society’s 
Gardens, which he proposed to call Hudyptes sclateri.

The Secretary read a report on the additions that had been made to the 
Society’s Menagerie during the month of February, and called attention to 
four Marbled Polecats, Putorius sarmaticus, presented by Col. Sir Oliver 
St. John, K.C.S.I., new to the collection ; and toa fine specimen of Owen’s 
Apteryx, Apterya oweni, from the South Island of New Zealand, presented 
by Prof. T. Jeffrey Parker. 
Mr. A. Thomson exhibited a series of insects reared in the Insect- 
house in the Society’s Gardens during the past year, and read a report on 
the subject. 
Prof. G. B. Howes exhibited and made remarks on some specimens of 
the embryo of Myrmecobius fasciatus. 
Mr. O. Thomas exhibited a specimen of a new Muntjac from 
Tennasserim, lately discovered by M. Fea, and proposed to be called 
Cervulus fea.
