THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OP 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 busi- 

 ness transacted at the scientific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings and recom- 

 mended to be published in the " Proceedings " by the Committee of Publication. A large number 

 of coloured plates and engravings are issued in the "Proceedings/' to illustrate the new or 

 otherwise remarkable species of animals described in them. Among 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, in the months of June, August, October, 

 and April, the part published in April completing the volume for the last half of the preceding year. 

 The pagination is now consecutive throughout the issue for the year, so that the year and page 

 give the complete reference. 



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 £1 I5, before the day of 

 the Anniversary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive all 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 Public. 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 £\ \Qs. (which includes delivery), payable on the 1st July in each year; but this 

 privilege is forfeited unless the subscription be paid before the 1st December in each year. 



Such of these publications as are in stock may be obtained at the Society's Ofiice (3 Hanover 

 Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans', tbe Society's publishers (Paternoster Row, E.C.), or through 

 any bookseller.
