LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 



or THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



The scientific publications of the Zoological Society of London 

 are of two kinds — "Proceedings/^ published in an octavo 

 form^ and '' Transactions/' in quarto. 



According to the present arrangements^ the " Proceedings" 

 contain not only notices of all business transacted at the scien- 

 tific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings 

 and recommended to be published in the "Proceedings^^ by 

 the Committee of Publication. A large number of coloured 

 plates and engravings are issued in the volumes of the 

 " Proceedings/^ to illustrate the new or otherwise remark- 

 able species of animals described in them. Amongst such 

 illustrations, figures of the new or rare species acquired in a 

 living state for the Society's Gardens are often given. 



The " Proceedings " for each year are issued in four parts, 

 on the first of the months of June, August, October, and 

 April, the part published in April completing the volume 

 for the last half of the preceding year. From January 1901 

 they have been issued as two half-yearly volumes. 



The "Transactions'^ contain such of the more important 

 communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society 

 as, on account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate 

 them, are better adapted for publication in the quarto form. 

 They are issued at irregular intervals. 



Fellows and Corresponding Members, upon payment of 

 a Subscription of One Guinea before the day of the Anni- 

 versary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive the 

 Society's Publications for the year. They are likewise 

 entitled to purchase the Publications of the Society at 25 per 

 cent, less than the price charged for them to the Pablic. A 

 further reduction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of 

 Publications issued prior to 1881, if they exceed the value of 

 five pounds. 



Fellows also have the privilege of subscribing to the 

 Annual Volume of the Zoological Record for a sum of "dOs. 

 (which includes cost of delivery), payable on the 1st July 

 in each year ; but this privilege is forfeited unless the 

 subscription be paid before the 1st of December following. 



The following is a complete list of the publications of the 

 Society already issued.
