LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 



OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



The scientific publications of the Zoological Society are of two 

 kinds — " Proceedings/' published in an octavo form, and 

 "Transactions," in quarto. 



According to the present arrangements, the "Proceedings" 

 contain not only notices of all business transacted at the scien- 

 tific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings 

 and recommended to be published by the Committee of Pub- 

 lication. F)-om forty to fifty coloured plates and engravings 

 are attached to each annual volume of the "Proceedings," to 

 illustrate the new or otherwise remarkable species of animals 

 described in them. Amongst such illustrations, figures of the 

 new or rare species acquired in a living state for the Society's 

 Gardens ai'e often given. 



The " Proceedings" for each year are issued in three parts, 

 in the months of May, October, and March, the part pub- 

 lished in March completing the volume for the preceding year. 

 They may be obtained with black or coloured illustrations. 



The "Transactions" contain such of the more important 

 communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society 

 as, on account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate 

 them, are better adapted for publication in the quarto form. 

 The numerous papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid 

 Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis, all form part of 

 this series. 



Fellows, and Honorary, Foreign, and Corresponding Members, 

 upon payment of a Subscription of £\ Is. before the day of the 

 Anniversary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive all the 

 Society's Publications for the year. They are likewise entitled 

 to purchase the Publications of the Society at 25 per cent, less 

 than the price charged for them to the Public. A further re- 

 duction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications 

 issued prior to 1861, if they exceed the value of five pounds. 



The following is a complete list of the publications of the 

 Society already issued. They may be obtained at the Society's 

 Office (11, Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans' the 

 Society's publishers (Paternoster Row, E.C.), or through any 

 bookseller : —
