Dr. St. George Mivart, F.R.S., in the Chair. 



Mr. Tegetmeier exhibited and made remarks on two Cats' skulls, 

 out of the large quantity of remains of these animals recently brought 

 to this country from Egypt. 



The following papers were read : —

* I now find that Gymnodactylus maiiritankics, which I had not seen when 

 the Catalogue of Lizards was published, is not a G-ymnodactylus. Its digits 

 are similar to those of Alsophylax pipiens, from which it differs in its small 

 subimbricate flat dorsal scales, and in the absence of praanal pores. I therefore 

 restore the genus Saurodactylus, Fitz., of which G. mauritanicus is the type, 

 as had already been done by Boettgerin \883.— Gymnodactylus trachyblepkarus, 

 Bttgr., is a Gymnodactylus.
