THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
Tue scientific publications of the Zoological Society of London 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 busi- 
ness transacted at the scientific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings and recom- 
mended to be published in the “ Proceedings” by the Committee of Publication. A large number 
of 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. Among 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 ycar are issued in four parts, on the first of the months of June, 
August, October, and April, the part published in April completing the volume for the preceding 
year. 
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. They are issued at irregular intervals, 
Fellows and Corresponding Members, upon payment of a Subscription of £1 1s. before the day of 
the Anniversary 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. A further reduction of 25 per cent. is made upon 
purchases of Publications issued prior to 1871, if they exceed the value of five pounds. 
Fellows also have the privilege of subscribing to the Annual Volume of the ‘Zoological Record ” 
for a sum of £1 (which includes delivery in the United Kingdom only), but this privilege only 
holds good if the subscription is paid before the First of December in each year. 
Such of these publications as are in stock may be obtained at the Society’s Office (3 Hanover 
Square, W.), at Messrs, Longmans’, the Society’s publishers (Paternoster Row, E.C.), or through 
any bookseller. ie
