1901.] ox THE BHYXOHOTA IN THE HOPE COLLECTIOUT, 325 



Mr. Sclater exhibited (on behalf of Mr. Phil Eobinson) a copy 

 of a copper-plate engraving made in 1771 by George vStubbs, Jr., 

 from a painting by George Stuhbs, Sr., which gave an excellent 

 representation of a specimen of the Mountain Zebra {Eqtms zebra) 

 and bore the following inscription : — 



" The Sebra, or Wild Ass." 



■'Presented to Her Majesty in the Tear 1762, by 8ir Tho'* 

 Adams, Cap* of the Terpsicore Man of War, who brought it from 

 the Cape of Good Hope."' 



" Printed for Carington Bowles, Map and Printseller, jN'o. 69 in 

 8t. Pauls Church Yard, London, Published 3 Aug. 1771." 



Mr. Sclater stated that he was informed by Mr. Tegetmeier that 

 the original picture from which this engraving had been taken was 

 now in the possession of Sir Walter B. Gilbey, Bart., P.Z.S., and 

 bore the following inscription : — 



"A Zebra, the first seen in England, and presented to the Princess 

 Charlotte of Wales : painted from life, and exhibited at the Society 

 of Artists, Spring Gardens, 1763. George Stubbs E/.A." 



A letter was read from Mr. L. A. Borradaile, F.Z.S., stating that 

 the Crustacean described by him at the Meeting on November 20th, 

 1900 \ as Armculillidiimi pacificiiin belonged to the genus Cubaris, 

 and not to Armadillidium. In describing it the author had over- 

 looi?ed the presence of the minute exopodite of the uropod and had 

 consequently regarded a linear inequality on the under surface of 

 the outer flange of this limb as a joint. Had this been correct, the 

 species would have been an interesting exception to the ordinary 

 distribution of the genus Armadillidium, and in pointing out this 

 supposed peculiarity the name pacijtcum, novs' inappropriate, had 

 been given to it. 



The following papers were read : —
