A paper on the Malay race of the Indian Elephant was received 
from Mr. R. Lypexxer, F.R.S., F.Z.S. The author made the 
young Negri Sembilan Elephant, formerly living in the Society’s 
Gardens, the type of a new race, Hlephas maximus hirsutus, 
subsp. n., characterized by the square, instead of triangular, 
form of the ear, the early date at which its upper margin is bent 
over, and the presence in the young condition—at least, in some 
cases—of a thick coat of black and in part bristly hair, 
Prof. W. J. Daxty, D.Sce., F.L.S., F.Z.8., contributed two 
papers on the Fauna of Western Australia, dealing with the 
Onychophora and the Phyllopoda respectively.
