ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.* 
February 2nd, 1909. 
Freverick Giuurtr, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. 
Mr. C. Tare Reean, M.A., F.Z.S., exhibited specimens of the 
Char of Lough Melvin (Salvelinus grayi, Giinth.) and of the 
Char froma little loch under Ben Hope, Sutherlandshire, recently 
described by him under the name Salvelinus mawillaris. He 
pointed out the differences between the two forms, and called 
attention to the interest attaching to the study of this too much 
neglected group of British freshwater fishes. 
Mr. R. E. Hotprne exhibited several skulls and photographs 
of the St. Kilda or Hebridean Four-horned Sheep, and remarked 
upon the character of the horns of this curious form, pointing 
out some differences between them and those of the South-African 
and other Sheep having four horns. 
Mr. C. Davies SHerBorn, F.Z.S., on behalf of Mr. Matcoum 
MAcLAREN, read an account of a fight between a Whale and a 
Swordfish observed in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand. 
Dr. C. W. Anprews, F.R.S., F.Z.S., gave an account, illus- 
trated by lantern-slides, of his visits to Christmas Island, calling 
attention to the differences in the fauna associated with influx of 
population.
