LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 



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 in the " Proceedings " by the 

 Committee of Publication. From fifty to seventy 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 illustra- 

 tions, 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 are issued in four parts, on the 

 first of the mouths of June, August, October, and April, the part 

 published in April completing the volume for the preceding 

 year. The price is 12s. per part for the edition with coloured, 

 and 3*. per part for that with uncoloured Plates. 



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 One Guinea 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. A I'urther re- 

 duction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications 

 issued prior to 1861, if they exceed the value of five pounds. 



The following is a complete list of the publications of the 

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

 Office (3 Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans', the 

 Society's publishers (Paternoster Row, E.G.), or through any 

 bookseller.
