118 MR. F. E. BEDDARD ON ANTHROPOID APES. 1 Feb. 16, 



They belong, as •will be seen, to the eight following species: — 



(1) Bubalis swaynei. (o) Lithocranius walleri. 



(2) Neotraffus saltianus. (6) Ori/x beisa. 



(3) Gazella soemmerringi. (7) Strepsiceros kudu. 



(4) Gazella spekii. (8) Strepsiceros imherbis. 



Amongst these, I am specially pleased to be able to draw atten- 

 tion to a beautifully prepared head of Swayne's Hartebeest {Bubalis 

 swaynei), the new Antelope of which I pointed out the characters at 

 the last meeting. It will be observed that this mounted head fully 

 conBrnis the points of difference between Swayne's Antelope and 

 the allied species (B. tora) on the North, and Coke's Hartebeest 

 {B. cokii) on the South. From both these species, without reference 

 to the form of the horns, of which I spoke on the former occasion, 

 the new species is at once distinguished by the dark chestnut colour of 

 the whole head and neck, which is relieved by the black face below 

 the eyes and the light isabelline of the nose and lips. The ears also 

 are of an isabelline tint, with the hairs edging the interior rim nearly 

 white. 



This, I may remark, is the fourth new species of Antelope that we 

 have lately received from Sonialiland, and it is even possible that 

 the Water-buck (Cobus) met with, but not obtained, by Mr. James's 

 party in the interior, as well as the small Antelope called " Beira" 

 spoken of by Capt. Sw^ayne, may turn out to be novelties also. 



Mr. Sclater gave the following list of the known Antelopes of 

 Northern Somali-land and their native names :—

Mr. A. Smith Woodward exhibited and made remarks on speci- 

 mens of the supposed jaws and teeth of Bothriolepis from the Upper 

 Devonian Formation of Canada. 



Mr. F. E. Beddard read a paper entitled " Contributions to the 

 Anatomy of the Anthropoid Apes." 



This contained a description of the external characters, brain, and 

 muscles of the Bald-headed Chimpanzee " Sally," and the reputed 

 Lesser Orang " George," lately living in the Society's gardens. 



The. Bald-headed Chimpanzee, Troglodytes calvus, was estabhshed 

 as a second species of Chimpanzee by M. Du Chaillu. The Natural
