Dr. 0. W. Andrews, F.R.S., F.Z.S., read a paper " On a New 

 Species of Dlnotheriam from British E ist Africa." The specimens 

 described were sent to the British Museum by Mr. C. W. Hobley, 

 Commissioner of Mines for British East Africa, They inckided 

 portions of the mandible with teeth, a calcaneiim, and a patella 

 of a small species of Dinotheriam nearly allied to D. citvleri, from 

 the Lower and perhaps Middle Miocene beds of France. The 

 new species, which he proposed to call Dinotherium hohleyi, 

 diflered from D. cuvieri in several particulai-s — e. g., the inner 

 anterior column of pm 3 was more distinctly developed, and the 

 talon of nig had a distinct tubercle on its inner side. Remains 

 of Rhinoceros, n, giant Tortoise, Trionyx, and Cro odiles also 

 occui'red. The bones were well preserved in a tough clay, and 

 further collecting would no doubt yield important re-ults.
