tember 4th. : 
SS 
=—_ 
° Perodicticus potto, 
This rare Lemurine form had only been once before exhibited in 
the Society’s Gardens, in 1848*. 
10. A fine young male of the Spanish Ibex (Capra hispanica), 
from the Sierra Hermosnra, in Southern Spain, presented to the 
Society by Major Howard Irby, of the 74th Highlanders, Septem- 
ber 4th. Unfortunately, the female of this species from the same 
locality, presented by the same generous donor in August 1868+, 
had died ; but several correspondents of the Society were on the look 
out for examples of this animal, so that there were fair prospects of its 
becoming ultimately a permanent denizen of the Society’s Gardens. 
11. Three Island-Hen Gallinules, from Tristan d’Acunha (Galli- 
nula nesiotis, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1861, p- 260, pl. xxx.), presented by 
E. L. Layard, Esgq., F.Z.S., September 3rd. 
12. A superb Crested Eagle (Spizaétus ornatus), from Costa 
Rica, presented by Capt. J. M. Dow, F.Z.S., and received Septem- 
ber 27th, being the second example of this fine bird of prey exhi- 
bited in the Society’s Gardens.
