At page 301 is a figure of Alca impennis from a young bird brought 

 to the author from Faeroe, which lived several mouths in his possession. 



Chinese Materia Medica. 



" In the Chinese Materia Medica (called ' Pun Tsao Kang Muh ') 1 

 find in the figure of the Fe Seng, or ' .Flying Beast,' a remarkable likeness 

 to the fossil Archäopteryx described by Prof. Owen. I will investigate 

 this question on my present return to China" — R. Swinhoe, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. 1871, p. 423. 



Mr. Swinhoe sent me a copy of the work cited. The original is of very 

 great antiquity, but this copy may not be more than 200 years old. 

 According to Chinese custom the woodcuts are repeated in successive 

 editions. The figure to which Mr. Swinhoe referred is that in the inside 

 compartment at the bottom of the left hand page as exposed.
