LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS 
1 OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 
The scientific publications of the Zoological Society are of two 
kinds — “ Proceedings/* published in an octavo form, and 
“Transactions/* in quarto. 
According to the present arrangements, the “Proceedings** 
contain not only notices of all business transacted at the scien¬ 
tific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings 
and recommended to be published by the Committee of Pub¬ 
lication. From fifty to seventy coloured plates and engravings 
are attached to each annual volume of the “Proceedings/* to 
illustrate the new or otherwise remarkable species of animals 
described in them. Amongst such illustrations, figures of the 
new or rare species acquired in a living state for the Society*s 
Gardens are often given. 
The “Proceedings** for each year are issued in four parts, on the 
first of the months of June, August, October, and April, the part 
published in April completing the volume for the preceding 
year. They may be obtained with black or coloured illustrations. 
The “Transactions** contain such of the more important 
communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society 
as, on account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate 
them, are better adapted for publication in the quarto form. 
The series of papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid 
Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis , all form part of 
this series. 
Fellows, and Honorary, Foreign, and Corresponding Members, 
upon payment of a Subscription of j£T Is. before the day of the 
Anniversary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive all the 
Society*s Publications for the year. They are likewise entitled 
to purchase the Publications of the Society at 25 per cent, less 
than the price charged for them to the Public. A further re¬ 
duction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications 
issued prior to 1861, if they exceed the value of five pounds. 
The following is a complete list of the publications of the 
Society already issued. They may be obtained at the Society*s 
Office (11 Hanover Square, W.), at Messrs. Longmans*, the 
Society*s publishers (Paternoster Row, E.C.), or through any 
bookseller:—■
