 of the Lion made during 17 years of travel and residence in 

 Central Africa. 



The sixth part of Sir Charles Eliot's contributions " On some 

 Nudibranchs from East Africa and Zanzibar " was read. It 

 contained an account of thirty species and varieties, of which 

 eight of the former and one of the latter were described as new. 



Mr. E,. Lydekker exhibited and read a paper on some photo- 

 graphs of Giraffes and a Zebra taken from pictures in the Art 

 Collection at "Windsor Castle, and an old print of a Zebra dated 

 1762. Mr. Lydekker was of opinion that the picture and print 

 of the Zebra had been taken from the same animal. 



In a second communication Mr. Lydekker described two speci- 

 mens of Lorises, one a Slow Loris {Nycticehus) and the other a 

 Slender Loris {Loris), which had recently been acquired by the 

 British Museum. The latter was pointed out to be sufficiently 

 different from the typical L. gracilis to be entitled to subspecific 

 rank.
