Mr. C. W. Andrews, of the British Museum, has examined the later 
discoveries of bird bones, and in July last he published an interesting 
paper in ‘The Ibis,’ giving a list of birds in addition to those already 
mentioned by Professor Boyd Dawkins. Mr. Andrews thinks from the 
large number of specimens of Pelecanus crispus (Bruch) there can be little 
doubt that the pelican inhabited the West of Britain in considerable 
numbers, and that it not improbably bred there and was used for food by 
the people of the lake dwellings. 
The other species of birds which Mr. Andrews has found in the collec- 
tion are :— 
Corvus corone (L.), Carrion Crow. 
Astur palumbarius (L.), Goshawk. 
Haliaétus albicilla (L.), White-tailed Sea Hagle. 
Milvus ictinus (Sav.), Kite. 
Striz flammea (L.), Barn Owl. 
Phalacrocorak carbo (L.), Cormorant. 
Ardea cinerea (Li.), Common Heron. 
Botaurus stellaris (L.), Common Bittern.

Anser sp. indet. ? Mareca penelope. 
Anas boscas. Fuligula cristata. 
? Clangula glaucion. > marila. 
Querquedula crececa. Mergus serrator. 
? Dajila acuta. 
Puffinus sp. indet.

Histology of the Suprarenal Capsules.—Report of the Committee, con- 
sisting of Professor E. A. ScHAFER (Chairman), Mr. SWALE 
VINCENT (Secretary), and Mr. Vicror HORSLEY. 
THE investigation has been carried on in birds and mammals, and com- 
parisons instituted between the organ in these animals and that previously 
studied in the lower vertebrates. The results have been embodied in a 
paper published in the ‘ Internat. Monatsschr. f. Anat. u. Physiol.’ 1898.
