 of Pekin, presented by Dr. S. W. Bushell ; and other animals. 



An extract was read from a letter addressed to the President by 

 Dr. Emin Bey, dated Wadilai, Eastern Equatorial Africa, January 1st, 1886, 

 and containing some notes on the distribution of the Anthropoid Apes in 

 Eastern Africa. 



A letter was read, addressed to the Secretary by Dr. Chr. Liitken, of 

 Copenhagen, containing some information as to the locality of Chiropodomys 

 penicillatus. 



A letter was read from Dr. A. B. Meyer, communicating some remarks 

 hy Mr. K. G. Henke on a specimen of a hybrid Grouse in the Dresden 

 Museum. 



Prof. Flower exhibited and made remarks on a specimen of a rare 

 Armadillo, Tatusia pilosa, belonging to the Scarborough Museum. 



Prof. Bell exhibited and made remarks on an object (apparently of the 

 nature of an amulet) made from a portion of the skin of some Mammal, 

 and received from Moreton Bay, Australia. 



Mr. H. Seebohm exhibited a skin of what he considered to be a young 

 individual of the Lesser White-fronted Goose, Anser albifrons minutus, shot 

 in September last on Holy Island, off the coast of Northumberland, and 

 observed that it was the first recorded example of the small form of the 

 White-fronted Goose which had been obtained on the coasts of our islands.

Mr. Lydekker described three crania and other remains oi Scelidotherium, 

 two of the former being from the Argentine Republic, and the third from 

 Tarapaca, in Chili. One of the crania from the first locality he referred to 

 the typical i?. leptocephalum of Owen, while the second, which had been 

 described by Sir R. Owen under the same name, he regarded as distinct, and 

 proposed to call 8. bravardi. The Tarapaca form, which was characterized 

 by the extremely short nasals, was also regarded as indicating a new species, 

 for which the name of 8. chilense was proposed. The author concluded 

 that there were not sufficient grour^ds for separating Lund's proposed 

 genus Platyonyx from 8celidutherium. 



Mr. G. A. Boulenger pointed out that two distinct forms of the 

 Batrachian genus Bombinator occur in Central Europe, and read notes on
