ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
November 14th, 1905. 
G. A. Bounencrr, Esq., F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 
The Secrerary read a report on the additions that had been 
made to the Society's Menagerie during the months of June, 
July, August, September, and October, 1905. 
Col. W. H. Broun exhibited the mounted head and skin of a 
white Water-buck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) from British East 
Africa ; and two mounted heads of the Rhinoceros, one of which 
showed abnormal growth of the anterior horn, whilst the other 
bore four horns, viz. two on the nose, one between the ears, and 
one nearly at the back of the head. 
The Hon. Waurrr Roruscuinp, F.Z.8., exhibited specimens of 
a very rare and interesting Marsupial, hitherto unique, in the 
Paris Museum, viz. Dactylopsila palpator Milne-Edw., which 
differed from D. trivirgata by the extremely thin prolonged 
second finger. 
Mr. Roruscsrmp also exhibited two tusks which had been 
obtained by Baron Maurice de Rothschild during his recent 
expedition to Abyssinia. They were so unlike the normal tusks 
of any known animal that Mr. Rothschild was of opinion they 
might belong to some new form. 
Mr. A. 8. Hirsr, F.Z.8., exhibited microscopic preparations 
of a new Heemosporidian from the blood of an African Stork
