PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
Prof. Bell said there was no group which entertained so many 
bizarre creatures or presented such anomalous forms as the one which 
formed the subject of Dr. Brady’s communication. It was hoped that 
when the paper was published the attention of other naturalists would 
be drawn to the subject, and that those who met with specimens would 
forward them to Dr. Brady for examination. It was clear that the 
specimen before him was not a complete one, the digestive tract was 
broken and it was therefore very desirable that they should have further 
and more perfect examples for the purpose of completing the observa- 
tions. 
Upon the motion of the President the thanks of the Society were 
given to Prof. Brady for his paper, great regret being at the same time 
expressed that the author had been unable to be present. 
The President announced that arrangements had been made for 
holding a Conversazione on April 4th at St. Martin’s Town Hall.

Meeting of 21st March, 1894, at 20 Hanover Square, W. 
The President (A. D. Michael, Esq., F.L.S.) in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the Meeting of 21st February last were read and 
confirmed, and were signed by the President. 
The President said it was with great regret that he had to announce 
to the Society the loss they had suflered by the sudden death of Mr. C. 
Haughton Gill, one of the Members of their Council. Mr. Gill had 
recently retired from active business, and it was hoped that with 
additional leisure at his disposal he would have been able to follow up 
those lines of inquiry which — from the communications he had made 
to the Society— seemed to promise so much. This hope had, however, 
been frustrated, and he was sure it would be felt by all that they had 
lost one who was not only a pleasant companion, but also a useful 
Member of the Council of the Society. 
Prof. F. Jeffrey Bell read a letter received from Prof. Edouard Van 
Beneden expressing his thanks for his election as an Honorary Fellow 
of the Society, in place of his late father.
