George Busk, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair, 
The Secretary called the attention of the Meeting to the following 
noticeable additions to the Society’s Menagerie during the month of 
May :— 
I. Five Greenland Seals (Phoca grenlandica), which had been 
brought from the north by one of the sealing-vessels into Peter- 
head, and purchased for the Menagerie on the 6th and 11th of May. 
This species of Seal had not been previously exhibited in the Society’s 
Menagerie, and presented several interesting points of difference when 
compared with its allies. In particular it was noticeable for the use 
of its fore limbs in locomotion, instead of progressing by the action 
of the muscles of the belly as is the case with Phoca vitulina and 
Phoca feetida. 
On the 18th of May two additional specimens of the same species 
had been brought home in one of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s 
ships, and presented to the Society by Sir C. M. Lampson, Bart., 
F.Z.S. 
2. A Golden-headed Marmoset (/Tapale chrysomelas), from Brazil, 
purchased May Ith, and believed to be the first example of this 
scarce species ever exhibited in the Society’s collection. 
3. Two additional specimens of the Aard-wolf of South Africa 
(Proteles lalandii), brought home by Captain Dixon on the 20th of 
May, and purchased for the Menagerie. ‘Theseanimals had been placed 
in the collection in company with the former specimen, purchased 
October 26th, 1868 (see P. Z. 8S. 1868, p: 530), All three of them 
appeared likely to thrive in captivity. 
4, A fine example of the Vulturine Eagle (Aquila vulturina), 
brought home by Captain Dixon, on behalf of Mr. E. L. Layard, 
F.Z.8., by whom it had been presented to the Society’s Menagerie.
