604 MR. SCLATER ON THE SKULL OF THE HAIRY TAPIR. [May 7, 



There appear, therefore, to be four well-marked species of this 

 genus of Antelopes, each inhabiting a distinct area, namely : — 



1 . O. beatrioc, of Arabia. 



2. O. beisa, of the eastern shores of the Red Sea. 



3. O. leucoryx, of Eastern and Western Africa. 



4. O. yazella, of Southern Africa. 



9. A small Penguin captured at Guaycan, in Northern Chili, by 

 one of the Pacific Mail Steamers, and presented to the Society by 

 Major T. G. Sandemann, F. Z. S. This bird I have little hesitation 

 in referring to Humboldt's Penguin (Spheniscus humholdti), although 

 it appears to be not quite adult. It is, however, very nearly similar 

 to an example of the same species now in the Society's gardens, which 

 was deposited by Lord Londesborough, F.Z.S., on the 6th of De- 

 cember, 1871. 



Mr. Sclater exhibited the skull of one of the specimens of the 

 Hairy Tapir of the Andes {Tapirus roulini) *, obtained by Mr. Buck- 

 ley during his recent expedition to Ecuador, and kindly lent to Mr. 

 Sclater by Mr. E. Gerrard, Junior. Mr. Sclater also exhibited for 

 comparison a skull of Tapirus terrestris of about the same age, 

 i. e. with the fourth upper molars not yet in situ, and pointed out 

 the most obvious differences that distinguish the skulls of the two 

 species. 



These were, first, the different form of the nasal bones, which in T.
