Mr. C. Tare Reeay, B.A., F.Z.S., read a paper entitled “A 
Revision of the Fishes of the Family Galaxiide.” Two genera 
were recognised, Galaxias and Veochanna, the latter consisting of 
a single species only. Twenty-eight species of Galaxias were 
described, including G’. attenwatus Jenyns, found on the coasts 
and in the rivers of Australia, New Zealand and Chili, Patagonia, 
and the Falkland Is., and two peculiar to the Cape of Good Hope, 
five to New Zealand and the neighbouring islands, five to Chili, 
Patagonia, and the Falkland Islands, and fifteen to Australia and 
Tasmania. Five species were described as new to science. 
Mr. J. Lewis Bonnors, F.Z.S., communicated the first of a 
series of papers dealing with the Mammalian Fauna of China. 
The present part dealt with the Murine, containing the genera 
Mus and Micromys, giving descriptions and synonymy as well 
as emphasising the distinctive characters by which the various 
species might be easily distinguished. Two species were described 
as new, of which the following are preliminary descriptions :— 
MUS HUANG, sp. n. 
Similar to Mus confucianus, but general colour much brighter 
and tail without white tip. 
MUs LING, sp. n. 
Smaller than J/ws huang and paler in general coloration. Very 
similar to dfus cremoriventer Mill., but with bicolor instead of 
unicolor tail. 
Mr. F. KE. Bepparp, F.R.S., read a paper entitled ‘Some 
Additions to the Knowledge of the Anatomy, principally of the 
Vascular System, of Hatteria, Crocodilus, and certain Lacertilia.” 
A communication from Mr. Marrin Jacopy, F.E.S., contained 
descriptions of 111 new species of Phytophagous Coleoptera of 
the family Halticide.
