1060 THE SECRETARY ON ADDITIONS TO THE MENAGERIE. 
Mr. R. E. Savage exhibited two abnormal Herrings (Clupea 
harengus), taken by trawl in the North Sea. The first specimen 
had neither pelvic fins nor girdle (pelvic bones). The usual 
position of base of fins was indicated externally by the presence 
of the characteristic elongated scales. The usual musculature 
was present internally. The second specimen lacked the left 
pelvic fin and pelvic bone; the musculature was complete.
