LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 



- OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



The scientific publications of the Zoological Society are of two 

 kinds — " Proceedings/' published in an octavo form, 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 read at such meetings 

 and recommended to be published by the Committee of Pub- 

 lication. Fi'om forty to fifty 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, figures of the 

 new or rare species acquired in a living state for the Society's 

 Gardens are often given. 



The " Proceedings" for each year ai*e issued in three parts, 

 in the months of May, August, and February, the part pub- 

 lished in February completing the volume for the preceding year. 

 They may be obtained with or without the 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. 

 The numerous papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid 

 Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis, all form part of 

 this series. 



Fellows, Honorary, Foreign and Corresponding Members, 

 who pay a Subscription of £\ \s. before the day of the Anni- 

 versary 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. 



The following is a complete list of the publications of the 

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

 Office (11, Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans' the 

 Society^s publishers (Paternoster Kow, B.C.), at M. J. Roth- 

 schild's the Society's Agent at Paris (14 Rue de Buci) and
