104 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON THE PUDU DEER. [Feb. 27, 



the preceding one. We name it after our much lamented able friend 

 Dr. S. P. Woodward, whose premature death was a very great loss 

 to science as well as to his many friends ; for no observer was more 

 acute and conscientious or more correct in his varied researches. 



4. Thecidium barretti, Woodward, MS. ; Davidson, Recent 

 and Tertiary Species of Thecidium (Geological Magazine, i. pi. 2. 

 f. 1, 2, 3, July 1864). 



As stated in the paper above mentioned, in external shape this 

 most remarkable species cannot be distinguished from the Mediter- 

 ranean shell ; but its interior is very different, and resembles, in its 

 simple arrangements, that of several Jurassic forms, such as Theci- 

 dium moorei, Th. triangular e, &c. 



Thecidium barretti was obtained by Mr. Barrett, at 60 fathoms, 

 on the north-east coast of Jamaica, and was also found by him fossil 

 in the newest pliocene beds of the same country. 



5. Thecidium mediterraneum, Risso. 



Two specimens of this species were dredged alive by Mr. Barrett, 

 at 60 and 150 fathoms, on the north-east coast of Jamaica. In 

 pi. 2. fig. 5, of vol. i. of the ' Geological Magazine' for July 1864, 

 I have described and represented the interior of the dorsal valve of 

 one of these specimens.

 Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., V.P., in the Chair. 



Mr. P. L. Sclater called the attention of the Meeting to the fine 

 male example of the diminutive Pudu Deer of Chili (Cervus pudu), 

 recently presented to the Society's Menagerie by Mr. Charles Bath 

 of Ffynone, Swansea. 



In the temporary letterpress accompanying the figure of this ani- 

 mal in the second series of 'Zoological Sketches' (pi. 11), Mr. 

 Sclater had stated that it appeared somewhat dubious whether this 

 Deer ever developed horns at all. There could, however, be no 

 longer any doubt upon the subject, as the present example showed
