ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON* 



October 24th, 1911. 



Sir John Rose Brahford, K.C.M.G., M.D., F.R.S., 



Vice- President, in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the last Scientific Meeting were confirmed. 



The Secretary read a Report on the Additions that had been 

 made to the Society's Menagerie daring the months of June, 

 July, August, and September 1911. 



Mr. James Dunbar-Brunton sent for exhibition two skins and 

 a mounted skull, with horns, of Bushbuck shot by him in North- 

 East Rhodesia. 



Mr. W. B. Cotton, of the Indian Civil Service, exhibited a 

 number of heads and horns of various species of Gazelles which 

 he had obtained in the Eastern Sudan, and gave a brief account 

 of their habits and distribution. 



Mr. R. I. PocoCK, F.R.S., F.L.S., F.Z.S., Superintendent of 

 the Gardens, exhibited two photographs of a living male specimen 

 of Red-fronted Gazelle {Gazella rufifrons) which was presented to 

 the Society by Col. Julian Hasler in May 1908, and came from 

 Kano in jSTorthern Nigeria. This specimen he proposed to make 

 the type of a new subspecies to be named G. rufifrons hasleri, 

 since it differed apparently from all previously recorded races of 

 that species in having the upper side of the nose pure white from 

 the nostrils back to the preorbital glands.
