GENERAL MEETINGS FOR SCIENTIFIC BUSINESS 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



January 14, 1896. 

 Dr. W. T. Blasfobd, F.E.S., Vice-President, in the Chair, 



The Secretary read the following report on the additions to the 

 Sociefcy^s Menagerie during the month of December 1895 : — 



The total number of registered additions to the Society's Mena- 

 gerie during the month of December was 98, of which 57 were 

 by presentation, 1 by exchange, 34 by purchase, and 6 were 

 received on deposit. The total number of departures during the 

 same period, by death and removals, was 92. 



Amongst these attention may be called to the two specimens o£ 

 Forsten's Lorikeet {TncJioglossus forsteni), obtained by purchase. 

 Of this scarce Parrot no examples have been previously received 

 by the Society, and the species appears to be unrepresented in the 

 British Museum (see Cat. Birds B. M. xx. p. 51). 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier exhibited some drawings by Mr. Frohawk 

 of two young King-Penguins {Aptenodytes forsteri) in down 

 plumage, living in the Society's Gardens.
