LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. T he scientific publications of the Zoological Society o f London are o f 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 in the " Proceedings " by the Committee o f Publication. A large number o f coloured plates and engravings are issued in the volumes of the " Proceedings," to illustrate the new or otherwise remark­able species o f animals described in them. Amongst such illustrations, figures o f 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 o f the months o f June, August, October, and April, the part published in April completing the volume for the last half o f the preceding year. Prom January 1901 they have been issued as two half-yearly volumes. The " Transactions" contain such o f the more important communications made to the scientific meetings o f the Society as, on account o f the nature o f the plates required to illustrate them, are better adapted for publication in the quarto form. They are issued at irregular intervals. Fellows and Corresponding Members, upon payment o f a Subscription o f One Guinea before the day o f 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 o f the Society at 25 per cent, less than the price charged for them to the Public. A further reduction o f 25 per cent, is made upon purchases of Publications issued prior to 1881, if they exceed the value o f five pounds. Fellows also have the privilege o f subscribing to the Annual Volume o f the Zoological llecord for a sum o f 30s. (which includes cost o f delivery), payable on the 1st July in each y e a r ; but this privilege is forfeited unless the subscription be paid before the 1st o f December following. The following is a complete list o f the publications of the Society already issued. [April, 1906.]
