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. At the commencement of the year 

 1861, a new series of the former work was commenced, under 

 the title " Proceedings of the Scientific Meetings of the Zoolo- 

 gical Society of London." 



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. From 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 are often given. 



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

 in the months of May, August, and February, the part pub- 

 lished in February completing the volume for the preceding year. 

 They may be obtained with or without the illustrations. 



The " Proceedings " without illustrations are delivered to the 

 Fellows of the Society ^ra^fs on demand. The Fellows are like- 

 wise entitled to purchase all the other publications of the Society 

 at a reduction of one-fourth from the price at which they are 

 published, and to receive the Illustrated Proceedings of the 

 Society at a fixed subscription price of 10s. per part, or^6l : 12s. 

 for the annual volume, bound in cloth. 



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. 



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, at Mr. J. Rothschild's, the Society's Agent 

 at Paris and Leipzig, or through any bookseller.
