PROCEEDINGS 
OP THE 
Vol. III. SEPTEMBER, 1868. No. 7. 
GENERAL MEETING. 
Thursday, September 4th, 1868.— Mr. W. Sanders, F.R.S., F.G.S., &c. 
President, in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the last Meeting of the Society having been read and 
approved ; 
Mr. Adolph Leipner, the Hon. Secretary, made a communication, "On 
some Mammalia and Birds, from Newfoundland, recently presented to the 
Institution by the Government of that Colony, through Charles F. Bennett, 
Esq., of St. John's." 
He commenced by saying that, all his friends having deserted him, he had 
been compelled to come forward himself. He regretted this should have 
been the case, and hoped that the Members would make an effort to provide 
subjects for discussion at the coming Evening Meetings of the Society ; as 
yet, however, he was sorry to say, he had had no promises of papers. 
He then proceeded to describe the various Mammals and Birds in detail, 
dwelling upon the distinguishing peculiarities of each.
