74 NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF DUBLIN. 



currence of the Bridled Guillemot (Uria lachrymans),' and of the Ful- 

 mar (Procellaria glacialis), by Mr. E. "Warren, jun. ; ' Observations on 

 Mr. Warren's paper on the Winter Migration of the Pomarine Skua,' by 

 the late Professor Kinahan ; ' On the Occurrence of Merlangus alius, 

 new to Irish Icthyology,' by the President ; ' Occasional Notes on the 

 Occurrence of Birds on the Shores of Killala Bay — No. II. ; On the 

 Occurrence of the Little Auk (Alca alle, Linn.), December, 1862,' by 

 Mr. R. Warren, Jun. ; ' Record of the Occurrence of the Little Auk, 

 taken alive at Athlone, December, 1862,' by Mr. F. J. Foot, M. A. ; 

 'Notes on the Migration of the Skuas, made at Tralee in October, 1862,' 

 by Mr. J. C. Neligan ; ' Notes on the Dissection of some Animals from 

 the Zoological Gardens — Part I.,' by Dr. Arthur W. Foot ; ' On the 

 Salmonidae, with Remarks on the Parr and Gravelling,' by the Presi- 

 dent; ' On the Sea Louse of the Baltic,' by the Bev. S. Haughton, M.D., 

 F. R. S. ; ' Occasional Notes on the Occurrence of Birds on the Shores of 

 the River Moy and Killala Bay — No. III.,' by Mr. R. Warren, Jun. 

 The botanical were — ' On the Occurrence of Cystopteris fragilis near 

 Athlone,' and ' On the Occurrence of Digitalis purpurea on Limestone, 

 near Athlone,' by Mr. F. J. Foot ; ' Record of the Occurrence of Cysto- 

 pteris fragilis in the neighbourhood of Dublin,' by Mr. W. Archer ; 'An 

 Endeavour to identify Palmogloea macroeocca (Kutz.), with Description 

 of the Plant believed to be meant, and of a New Species, both, however, 

 referrible rather to the Genus Mesotsenium {Nag.),'' by Mr. Archer ; ' De- 

 scription of a New Species of Cosmarium( Corda), and of Penium(i?re'£.)," 

 by Mr. Archer; ' On a peculiar Form of Asplenium Ruta-muraria,' by 

 Mr. F. J. Foot ; ' Record of the Occurrence of Polypodium Phegopteris 

 (Linn.) in the neighbourhood of Dublin,' by Mr. Archer. The forego- 

 ing papers will appear in full in the forthcoming part of the ' Proceed- 

 ings,' which will form Part I. of Vol. IV. It is now at press, and will 

 be, it is hoped, in the members' hands at the first meeting in December. 

 "Of the annual Part of 'Proceedings,' a considerable number of 

 extra copies are printed ; and these, it has been thought, could not be 

 better disposed of than by exchanging them for the corresponding vo- 

 lumes of as many English and foreign kindred Scientific Societies as 

 would accede to the proposal. Not only would this reciprocity put our 

 members in possession of what is doing in other Societies, and of the 

 progress of Natural Science elsewhere, but our own volume of ' Pro- 

 ceedings' also would gain a greater and more extended circulation. 

 Accordingly, a proposal for such a mutual interchange has been made 

 to a considerable number of British and Foreign Societies, some of whom 

 have already expressed their willingness to reciprocate. It is hoped 

 presently still farther to extend the list. The cost will be trifling — 

 the trouble not great ; and if any of our members working in any de- 

 partment should occasionally derive assistance or interest in the prose- 

 cution of their researches from any of the papers thus brought to notice, 

 and of which even the existence might otherwise remain to this Society 

 wholly unknown, both the expense and the trouble will indeed be 

 compensated for more that sufficiently.
