LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 



OP THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



The scientific publications of the Zoological Society are of two 

 kinds — "Proceedings," published in an octavo foi'ra, and 

 " Transactions/' in quarto. 



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 r-ead at such meetings 

 and recommended to be published by the Committee of Pub- 

 lication. Fi-om fifty to seventy 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, figui-es 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 four parts, on the 

 first of the months of June, August, October, and April, the part 

 published in April completing the volume for the preceding 

 year. They may be obtained with black or coloured illustrations. 



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. 



Fellows, and Honorary, Foreign, and Corresponding Members, 

 upon payment of a Subscription of £1 Is. before the day of the 

 Anniversary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive all the 

 Society's Publications for the year. They are likewise entitled 

 to purchase the Publications of the Society at 25 per cent, less 

 than the price charged for them to the Public. A further re- 

 duction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications 

 issued prior to 1861, if they exceed the value of five pounds. 



The following is a complete list of the publications of the 

 Society already issued. They may be obtained at the Society's 

 Office (3 Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans', the 

 Society's publishers (Paternoster Row, E.G.), or through any 

 bookseller : —
