ABSTRACT OF THE PliOCEEDmGS 



OF THE 



ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON* 



November 3rd, 1908. 



Frederick Gillett, Esq., Vice- President, in the Chair. 



The Secretary read a report on the additions that had been 

 made to the Society's Menagerie during the months of June, 

 July, August, and September, 1908. 



Prof. E. A. MmcHiN, M.A., Y.P.Z.S., exhibited a series of draw- 

 ings of Trypanosomes obtained from British Freshwater Fishes. 



Mr. Geoffrey Meade- Waldo, B.A., exhibited a living speci- 

 men of a Toad that he had obtained in Sumatra,, and described 

 it as belonging to a species new to science. 



The Secretary exhibited a photograph of a young Malayan 

 Tapir, and remarked that he had been unable to find accurate 

 drawings of the young of this species. The photograph had been 

 given to him by the Right Hon. Sir Cecil Clementi Smith, P.C., 

 G.C.M.G., M.A., Honorary Member of the Society, and had been 

 taken from a living example which had been a pet in his house. 



A paper was read by Messrs. Oldfield Thomas, F.R.S., F.Z.S., 

 and Guy Dollman, B.A., on Mammals from Inkerman, near 

 Townsville, North Queensland, collected by Mr. W. Stalker and 

 presented to the ISTational Museum b}^ Sir William Ingram, Bart, 

 and the Hon. John Forrest. 



Almost no material from this part of Australia had previously 

 been received by the British Museum, so that this collection, 

 which consisted of over 200 specimens, belonging to 26 species, 

 was of particular value.
