200 
specimens in the Zoological Museum of Florence, and which he considered 
to be a perfectly valid species. — Mr. M. F. Woodward read a paper (the 
first of a series) entitled »Contributions to the Study of Mammalian Dentition«. 
In the present communication the author treated of the dentition of the Ma- 
cropodidae, and described the presence of a number of vestigial incisors. 
He also showed that the tooth generally regarded as the successor to the 
fourth premolar was, in reality, a distinct tooth, and that the molars in this 
family of Marsupials belonged to the second dentition. — Mr. W. T. Blan- 
ford, F.R.S., read a description of two specimens of a Stag from Central 
Tibet, belonging to the Elaphine group, on which he proposed to found a 
new species, Cervus Thoroldi. These specimens had been obtained by Dr. W. 
G. Thorold about 200 miles north-east of Lhasa, at an elevation of 13,500 
feet above the sealevel, during his late adventurous journey through Tibet 
in company with Capt. Bauer. — P. L. Sclater, Secretary.

beetle (Megacephala) from Queensland. — Mr. W. S. Duncan sent for 
exhibition an interesting collection of Coleoptera from Inverell, N.S.W., 
comprising specimens of both common Sydney Insects and of Southern 
Queensland forms, as well as of cosmopolitan species and of a few others 
which will probably prove to be undescribed. — Mr. Brazier read a Note 
on the habitat of a specimen of Cassis (Bezoardica) Wyvillei, Watson, ob- 
tained by him at Makeira Harbour, San Christoval, Solomon Islands; the 
types where obtained by the » Challenger« Expedition off the Philippine Is- 
lands. He also exhibited a specimen of Astele subcarinatus, Swainson (1854), 
identical with Zutrochus perspectivus, A. Adams (1863); and he pointed out 
that the former name had been omitted by all Conchological monographers 
of the family Trochidae, and that the specific name Adamsi, given by Mr. | 
Pilsbry to Adams’ species, will not hold good. Swainson’s type came from 
the east coast of Tasmania; the specimen exhibited from Circular Head, 
Tasmania,
