founded for the reception of the so-called ‘ Proterosaurus 
hualeyi.” 
In the second paper the origin of the Chelonia is discussed, 
and a number of reasons given for supposing that they may be 
descended from some such form as Hunotosaurus africanus 
Seeley. 
In the third paper Mr. Watson describes the skulls of Bauria, 
Microgomphodon, and Sesamodon, and discusses the relation of 
the group with the Cynognathids. He also describes a new 
skull of Lycosuchus, in which both the prevomers and vomer are 
present. 
Mr. F. A. Porrs, M.A., communicated a paper entitled 
“ Polycheta from the N.E. Pacific: The Chetopteride. With 
an Account of the Phenomenon of Asexual Reproduction in 
Phyllochetopterus and the Description of Two new Species of 
Chetopteride from the Atlantic.” 
The new species of Phyllochetopterus was found in branched 
tubes, each usually containing several individuals. The origin of 
these colonies each from a single individual is suggested by the 
frequent occurrence of worms in various stages of regeneration. 
An examination of these shows that autotomy first occurs in the 
middle region of the animal’s body, and a complete animal is 
regenerated from each of the two parts. ‘This phenomenon 
appears to be characteristic also of another new species of this 
genus from Plymouth, which lives in small colonies in branched 
tubes. 
Several points in the morphology of the Cheetopteride are also 
discussed. 
Messrs. E. Heron-Axten, F.L.S., F.Z.S., and Artaur HARLAND, 
F.R.M.S., exhibited a series of microscopic preparations and 
photographic views of the tests of Arenaceous Foraminifera, and 
utged their view that these afforded evidence of purpose and 
intelligence on the part of the Foraminifera. 
An interesting discussion followed, in which, amongst others, 
Sir H. H. Howorth, F.R.S., Sir E. Ray Lankester, F.R.S., and 
the Secretary took part.
