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 scientific meetings, but also all the papers read at such meetings and recommended to be published by the Committee of Publication. From forty to fifty 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 three parts, in the months of May, August, and February, the part published in February completing the volume for the preceding year. They may be obtained with or without the 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 numerous papers of Professor Owen on the Anthropoid Apes, and on the various species of Dinornis, all form part of this series. Fellows, Honorary, Foreign and Corresponding Members, who pay a Subscription of £1 1s. 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. 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.), at M. J. Rothschild's the Society's Agent at Paris (14 Rue de Buci) and Leipzig (34 Querstrasse), or through any bookseller: 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 8vo.
