ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON; 



April 13th, 1915. 

 E. T. Newton, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the last Scientific Meeting were confirmed. 



The Secretary read a Report on the Additions made to the 

 Society's Menagerie during the month of March 1915. 



Sir Edmund G. Loder, Bt., F.Z.S., exhibited lantern-slides of 

 tanned skins of a Pig and a Capybara. 



Dr. A. Smith Woodward, F.R.S., F.Z.S., exhibited an anterior 

 horn of a Woolly Rhinoceros [Rhinoceros antiquitatis), obtained 

 for the British Museum, from frozen earth in Northern Siberia, 

 by Mr. Bassett Digby. The horn must have measured originally 

 nearly a metre along the curve of the anterior border. It has 

 been cut and trimmed in places by the finders, but is sufficiently 

 well preserved to show its laterally compressed shape and sharp 

 posterior border. 



Mr. D. Seth-Smith, F.Z.S., Curator of Birds, exhibited a series 

 of lantern-slides, from photographs taken in the Gardens, showing 

 the nuptial display of the male Great Bustard {Otis tarda). 



Mr. E. Heron-Allen, F.L.S., F.Z.S., exhibited examples of 

 the Foraminiferan Milliolina in viviparous reproduction.
