his satisfaction at the interesting additions made hy Mr. Lydekker 

 to our knowledge. 



Prof. Flower entirely confirmed the President's views. He hoped 

 the nomenclature in the British Museum would he much more 

 correct since Mr. Lydekker had undertaken the cataloguing of the 

 Mammalian fossils. The speaker was well acquainted with the 

 Canham collection in the Ipswich Museum, and made some obser- 

 vations on the interesting specimens contained in it. The hones of 

 Albatross furnished an especially valuable addition to the British 

 extinct fauna. 



Mr. E. T. Newton was disposed to agree with Mr. Lydekker's 

 conclusions. The discovery of the Albatross was most interesting ; 

 he had himself seen some additional Pliocene birds' bones lately, one 

 of which belonged to a bird of prey. The bird-bone in the Jermyn 

 Street Museum noticed by Mr. Lydekker was from the " Coralline 

 Crag " and had been presented many years ago by Col. Alexander. 



Dr. Woodward said that Col. Alexander had formerly a house at 

 Bramerton near an outcrop of Norwich Crag, so that it was possible 

 that the bones mentioned by Mr. Newton were derived from that 

 deposit. Mr. Lydekker had had the advantage of studying the original 

 specimen from the Ipswich Museum as well as the beautiful casts on 

 the table. 



The Author in reply gave some details as to the distribution of 

 Pliocene and Pleistocene Mastodons.
