Sir Charles Eliot, K.C.M.G., F.Z.S., communicated a paper 

 entitled " On the Niidibranchs of Southern India and Ceylon, 

 with Special Reference to the Collections and Drawings preserved 

 in the Hancock Museum at Newcastle-on-Tyne." This paper was 

 an attempt to settle the synonymy of various Nudibranchiata 

 of the Indo-Pacific with the help of Kelaart's drawings and 

 the collections made by him and Walter Elliot, and now preserved 

 at Newcastle. It also contained some new information as to the 

 anatomy of several species (particularly Plcdydoris formosa, 

 P. pcqnllata, Dorio2)silla miniata, Kalinga ornata, and several 

 Pleurophyllidiidfe). 



Of the identifications suggested, the following were regarded as 

 more or less certain : — (1) Rexahranchus rtiai-ginatus (Q. & G.) = 

 Doris gloriosa Kel. ; (2) Chromodoris diardii {Ke\.)—C. semperi 

 Bgh. ; (3) Casella maccarthyi {Ke\.) = C . cincta Bgh. ; (4) Ken- 

 trodoris maculosa (Cuv.) = A''. anmdigera Bgh.; (5) Discodoris 

 concinna (A. & H.)=Z). concinniformis Bgh.; (6) Archidoris 

 violacea Bgh. = ^. africana Eliot ; (7) Thordisa villosa A. & H. = 

 T. inactdigera Bgh.; (8) Trippa luteola (JLq\.) = Thordisa ? cau- 

 c^frfffl Farian ; (9) Trevelyana ceylonica Kel. = :7^. ruhromacvlata 

 Bgh. ; (10) Bornella digitata Ad. & Reeve = B. hancockana 

 Kel.; (11) Sa'mlahicolor(K.e\.) = S,anmdigeralig]i.; (12) Elysia 

 ccerulea Kel. = U. lineolata Bgh. ; (13) E. punctata Kel, = 

 E. nigropunctata (Pse.). 



The following were regarded as probable, but not certain until 

 further specimens could be examined : — (1) Cliromodoris fiddis 

 (K.e\.)=C.^flavimtdata Ugh. ; (2) Hoplodoris desmoparypha Bgh. 

 = Platydoris papillata lEiliot ; (3) Asteronoius hemprichi Ehrenb. 

 = Doris exanthemata ^e\. ; (4) Thordisa crosslandi^Xiot, 1904 = 

 Diaidida? gigantea Bgh., 1905; (5) Doris intecta lLel. = Trippa 

 ornata Bgh. ; (6) Doris leojjarda Kel. = Trippa monsoni Eliot; 

 (7) Doridopsis tuhercidosa (Q. & G.) var. = Doris carbioncidosa 

 Kel. ; (8) Diphyllidia mMronorata ^e\. = LinguelUi cinerea Farran ; 

 (9) Phyllobranchus orientalis (Kel.) = P. prasimis and P. rubi- 

 cundus Bgh. In both these lists the first specific name had 

 priority, if established. 



The following references to genera were cei'tain or probable : — 

 Chromodoris gleniei (Kel.) ; C. amabilis (Kel.) ; C. tennantana 

 (Kel.); Platydoris {\\ot Discodoris) ellioti (A. & H.) ; Halgerda? 

 apictdata (A. &, H.) ; Staurodoris ricsticafa (A. & H.) ; Doriopsilla 

 miniata (A. & H.) ; Stiliger 1 viridis (Kel.). 



TheHon.WALTER Rothschild, M.P., F.Z.S., exhibited specimens 

 of, and described, a new species of Zebra, intermediate between 

 Equus zebra and E. burchelU, from N.E. Rhodesia, and a new Bush- 

 buck from Portuguese East Africa. 



Mr Rothschild also exhibited specimens of the Forest- Pigs, 

 Hylochcerus ineinertzhageni, Potamochoerus joh^istoni, and P.choero- 

 poiamus dasmonis, and described certain distinctive features.
