MEETINGS. 253 



these notes in the Transactions in the form of a biographical 

 index. The suggestion was warmly approved, and it was 

 arranged that the matter should be brought before the notice 

 of the public by the publication of a letter in all the local 

 papers simultaneously. The result, however, was somewhat 

 disappointing, and the subject remains in abeyance. 



Monthly Meeting held on February 8th, 1893, Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand, President, in the chair. 



After reading and approving the minutes of the last 

 meeting, Mr. Edwin P. Marquand was unanimously elected a 

 member of the Society. 



Mr. G. E. Derrick read a note on the discovery of an 

 unusual colony of bats in a disused store in Hospital Lane, 

 which was opened last month. There were about 60 in all, 

 some of them hanging singly, others in little clusters of from 

 8 to 15. Being torpid they were easily captured, and two 

 specimens, which were exhibited, had been preserved for the 

 museum. They all belonged to one species, the Horseshoe 

 Bat (Rhinolophus ferrumeqwinwm). This species is not 

 given in Ansted's list of the mammalia of Guernsey, but a 

 specimen is now in the museum taken last year at the Yale 

 Castle : and the President said he remembered when a boy 

 taking a living specimen at the Forest, which he tried to stuff. 



Mr. Collenette exhibited two rudely cylindrical masses of 

 baked clay bearing the impression of the thumb and fingers. 

 These examples were found in the cromlech at l'Ancresse by 

 Mr. Lukis, and are exactly similar to those found at Richmond 

 last year, associated with deposits of limpet shells. 



Mr. F. Rose, L.D.S., then read a paper on " The minute 

 Anatomy of the Teeth and Jaws of Vertebrates," illustrating 

 the subject by means of prepared diagrams and rough sketches 

 on the blackboard. The histology of the human tooth was 

 minutely described, and some practical remarks upon the 

 treatment of the teeth of young children, and other useful 

 information, added much to the interest of the paper. 



Monthly Meeting held on March 8th, 1893, Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand, President, in the chair. 



The minutes of the previous meeting having been read 

 and signed, Mr. W. A. Luff exhibited a number of Hem.iptera, 

 new to the island, which he had recently captured, and made 

 remarks upon them. Mr. Collenette exhibited a specimen of 

 dressed flint found by Mr. Bartlett in a field near the Bailiff's
