OF THE 
Vol. III. APRIL, 1868. No. 4. 
GENERAL MEETING. 
Thursday Evening, April 2nd, 1868. ; — Mr. S. H. Swayne 
M.R.C.S., in the chair. 
The minutes of the preceding meeting having been read and confirmed, 
The Hon. Secretary, Mr. Adolph Leipner, announced that at the 
next meeting of the Society a new rule would be proposed for the consi- 
deration of the members, which it was hoped would prevent the occurrence 
in future of the difficulty now experienced in collecting the subscriptions. 
He then stated that the members would be no doubt interested in learning 
that one of the vultures at the Zoological Gardens had laid an egg, it 
being an exceedingly rare thing for birds of prey to breed in confinement. 
He also exhibited a remarkably large specimen of the house spider 
" Tegenaria domestical which had been captured near Henbury. 
The Hon. Reporting Secretary, Mr. T. Graham Ponton, then ex- 
hibited two specimens of some very beautiful photographs of natural 
flowers which have been recently brought into this country from Germany. 
The photographs are coloured by hand, and are executed by Friedrich 
of Prague. 
Mr. Adolph Leipner then read a Paper, of which the following is 
an abstract, on the Mammalian skulls and other specimens collected in 
Burmah by Mr. W. Theobald, jun., of the Geological Survey of British 
India, and recently presented by him to the museum of the Institution^ 
with notes by the donor.
