Proc. Zool. Soc. [London). —Under the title the Proceedings of the Committee of Sciences and 
Correspondence of the Zoological Society, this famous periodical was begun in 1830, but 
from 1833 onwards under the Proceedings of the Zoological Society only, shortly abbre¬ 
viated to P.Z.S. Issued irregularly until it got years behind, it was pulled up in 1859. 
The exact dates of publication, occupying some pages, of the years 1830-1858 were 
given by P. L. Sclater in the 1893 July number. 
From 1859 to date, four numbers per year have been issued fairly regularly as follows : 
papers read in January and February have been issued on June 1st; papers read in 
March and April on August 1st, papers read in May and June on October 1st; and 
those read in November and December (there being no meetings from June to 
November) on April 1st of tho following year.

This was presented by Bonaparte to the Academy of Sciences of Paris at the seance 
of July 9th, 1855 (C.R., XLI., p. 74). 
These very important essays were indexed by Hartlaub in the Journ. fur Ornith. 
(Cabanis), 1855, p. 417. 
The only new names I quote from this series are Sterna novcehollandice and Rallus 
novcBhollandice , hut Puclieran’s identifications must be verified as in the case of Muscica f pa t 
griseicapilla.

This has generally been quoted as of Jacquinot et Pucheran, but since I pointed out 
that I had a copy in which only Pucheran was credited w T ith the authorship, I have 
confirmed this by noting that Bonaparte (Comptes Rendus, XXXVII. p. 543), and 
Hartlaub in Wiegmann’s Archiv fur 1853 both gave only Pucheran, the former writing 
“de la part de M. Pucheran, le volume . . . dont il est Pauteur.” My copy is the 
one that was formerly in the possession of Hartlaub. 
Podargus vincendonii , Myiagra grisea , Golluricincla turdoides . 
It may also be recorded that the plates were issued in advance but only bore verna¬ 
cular names, and that in this volume Pucheran (p. 16) gives the dates of issue of these 
plates. Further, these vernaculars were cited by Bonaparte and Gray in their respective 
works, generally with a Latin equivalent but with the authority of Hombron and 
Jacquinot, the naturalists of the voyage. 
Pycraft, William Plane. —Born 1868. English Ornithologist who has issued many 
papers dealing with the anatomy of birds, but who has generally refrained from 
indicating any results of his researches.
