smaller specimens : the piece of tissue between the pen and the apex 



of the pen-sac has been included, owing to the obliquity of the section :

small specimens : X 55.

Prof. Flower, C.B., LL.D., F.R.S., President, in the Chair. 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier, F.Z.S., exhibited and made remarks on a 

 specimen of a female Gold Pheasant {Thaumalea picta) which had 

 assumed nearly complete male plumage. 



Mr. Tegetmeier also exhibited a pair of distorted horns of the 

 Ibex of Cashmere (Capra sibirica), in which the horns met in front 

 and crossed each other. 



The Secretary laid upon the table a list of the species of Fishes 

 contained in several collections made at Constantinople by Dr. 

 E. D. Dickson, C.M.Z.S., and forwarded to the Society. 



The list had been prepared by Mr. G. A. Boulenger, F.Z.S., 

 and contained the names of 66 species ; amongst these were two 

 specimens of a species of Trout from Broussa, which, although re- 

 sembling Saltno fario, were, according to Dr. Gilnther, probably 

 referable to a distinct species. Further specimens, however, were 

 required for their accurate determination. 



The Council had agreed to deposit these collections in the British 

 Museum of Natural History in the name of the Society. 



The following papers were read : —
