ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON* 



February 7th, 1905. 

 Howard Sauxdebs, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



The Secretary exhibited, on behalf of the Hon. Walter 

 Rothschild, F.Z.S., a pair of mounted Gorillas. The animals 

 appeared to be nearly adult and were probably from 12 to 13 years 

 old. Tlie male was unusually red on the head, while the female 

 displayed no trace of this colour. This difference of coloration 

 confirmed Mr. Rothschild's opinion that Gorilla castaneiceps of 

 Slack was an aberration and not entitled to specific or subspecific 

 rank. 



Mr. Frederick Gillett, F.Z.S., exhibited some mounted heads 

 of the Rocky-Mountain Goat {Haploceros movtamis), with the 

 object of calling attention to a gland lying at the base of each 

 horn, M'hich he believed had not been previously described. 



Mr. R. H. BuRNE, F.Z.S., exhibited some specimens made from 

 the viscera of the Indian Rhinoceros " Jim " that had lately died 

 in the Society's Gardens. 



A communication from Mr. Kelson Annandale contained a 

 description of two i^bnormal larvfe of the Frog Eana alticola. 



Mr. G. A. BouLENGER, F.R.S., gave an account of a second 

 collection of Fishes made by Mr. S. L. Hinde in the Kenya 

 District of East Africa. Examples of five species were contained 

 in the collection, three of which were new to science.
