LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. T he scientific publications of the Zoological Society of London are of two kinds- " Proceedings," published in an octavo form, and " Transactions/' in quarto. According to the present arrangements, tlie " 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 in the " Proceedings" by the Committee of Publication. A large number of coloured plates and engravings are issued in the volumes 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, 011 the first of the months of June, August, October, and April, the part published in April completing the volume for the last half of the preceding year. From January 1901 they have been issued as two half-yearly volumes. The " Transactions" contain such of the more important communications made to the scientific meetings of the Society as, 011 account of the nature of the plates required to illustrate them, are better adapted for publication in tlie quarto form. They are issued at irregular intervals. Fellows and Corresponding Members, upon payment of a Subscription of One Guinea before tlie day of the Anni­versary Meeting in each year, are entitled to receive 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 tlie Public. A further reduction of 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications issued prior to 1881, if they exceed the value of five pounds. Fellows also have the privilege of subscribing to the Annual Volume of the Zoological Record for a sum of 30s. (which includes cost of delivery), payable on the 1st July in each year; but this privilege is forfeited unless the subscription be paid before the 1st of December following. The following is a complete list of the publications of the Society already issued. \_October, 1905.]
