A note by Mr..G. Bennett, Corr. Memb. Z.S., was read. It gave 

 an account of a Pelican now living in the grounds of Mr. Rawson at 

 Dulwich, which wounded itself just above the breast to such an ex- 

 tent as to expose a spacious cavity. The bandages applied to the 

 part were repeatedly torn off by the bird for the space of ten days, at 

 the expiration of which the wound was healed. During the whole of 

 the time the bird was in perfect health; eating fish and drinking as 

 usual. The scar of the wound is still readily observable.
