Schale in der Seitenansicht und die der beiden männlichen Greif- 

 organe. 



Das Q habe ich mit voller Sicherheit noch nicht feststellen kön- 

 nen. Ich behalte mir, daher die Beschreibung desselben für später vor. 

 Mit ihm werde ich dann in dieser Zeitschrift auch das Q von meiner 

 Candona Protzi [nZooiog. Anzeiger« 1898. p. 476), welches ich im Spät- 

 herbst 1898 zahlreich erbeutete, beschreiben. 



Ich fand Candona Mülleriin dem Material, welches Herr A. Protz 

 schon im Octobej 1889 bei Treptow (Berlin) sammelte, in etwa neun 

 Stücken ((3f). Im October 1898 erbeutete ich selbst diese Art bei Jo- 

 hannisthal (Berlin), doch nur ein einziges ç^. Nach diesen Befunden 

 darf ich wohl mit höchster Wahrscheinlichkeit annehmen, daß diese 

 Species eine Herbstform mit nur einer Generation ist; freilich wird 

 davon eine Anzahl von Stücken, wie wohl bei allen Herbstformen, den 

 Winter überdauern.

17th March, 1899. — The Secretary read a report on the additions that 

 had been made to the Society's Menagerie during the month of February 

 1899, and called special attention to the series of Cassowaries (which em- 

 braced examples of eight species) deposited by the Hon. Walther Roth- 

 schild, M.P., F.Z.S. — Mr. J. E. S. Moore exhibited and made remarks 

 upon specimens of the Medusa [Limnocnida tanganjicae) of Lake Tanganyika, 

 which he had obtained during his recent expedition to that lake. — A report 

 was read, drawn up by Mr. A. Thomson, the Assistant-Superintendent of 

 the Society's Gardens, on the insects exhibited in the Insect-house during the 

 year 1898, and a series of the specimens was exhibited. — Mr. R. E, Holding 

 exhibited and made remarks upon a large pair of horns belonging to a species 

 of Muntjac(Cert«/Ms) received from Singapore. — Mr.W.E. de Winton exhi- 

 bited and made remarks upon the tail of a Common Fox [Canis vulpes)^ showing 

 the gland on the upper surface covered with straight coarse hair, the existence 

 of which appeared to be little known. — Dr. Arthur Keith read a paper on 

 the "Relationship of the Chimpanzees to the Gorilla". He referred to the 

 ape "Johanna", which is on exhibition, under the name of a Gorilla, at 

 Messrs. Barnum and Bailey's menagerie, but which was ixndoubtedly a Chim- 

 panzee. "Johanna" showed all the characters of "Mafuka", an ape which, 

 when exhibited in the Zoological Gardens at Dresden, gave rise to a prolonged 

 discussion as to her nature. Both evidently belonged to the variety or spe- 

 cies of Chimpanzee to which Du Chaillu had given the name of "Kooloo- 

 kamba". "Johanna" was the first Chimpanzee, so far as Dr. Keith was aware, 

 that had lived long enough in captivity to complete her dentition, which 

 apparently finished, by the appearance of the canine teeth and last molars, 

 about the 12th or 13th year. She was the second Chimpanzee in which the 

 phenomena of menstruation had been observed. In her it occurred every 23rd
