The papers in recent Biology (Zoology and Botany) contained in 

 the above Transactions, Proceedings, and Journals, and the separate 

 works added to the Library since the last Report, are as follows :— ' 



(This analytical enumeration is now carried on, as it has been for 

 some time past, on a rather more extended plan than was contem- 

 plated at the commencement of last Session. The whole of the ex- 

 cepted Publications enumerated, p. iii. of last year's Proceedings, are 

 now included, and their contents analyzed, with the sole exception 

 of the few journals confined either to Ornithology, Entomology, or 

 Conchyliology, which, each time they are received, are entered only 

 under their respective heads, without analyzing their contents. The 

 short Memoranda on individual animals and plants observed in par- 

 ticular districts, contained in the Zoologist, in some of the botanical 

 foreign periodicals, etc., are also passed over as being generally of 

 purely local interest, and at the same time so numerous that they 

 would have enormously extended these Reports without any corre- 

 sponding advantage. Purely Medical, Agricultural, and Horticul- 

 tural Papers are omitted, notwithstanding any remote connexion 

 with Biology. Anatomical Papers are only inserted when they re- 

 late more or less to animals or Mammalia generally, and are not 

 strictly confined to human Anatomy, Palaeontological Papers have 

 not been hitherto included, but might be conveniently added should 

 these analytical Reports be continued beyond the present Session.)
