Show No. 11. OF THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON* November 29th, 1904. G. A. B o ulen g er, Esq., F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. ABSTRACT OF THE PROCEEDINGS Dr. W a l t er K id d , F.Z.S., exhibited a drawing of, and made some remarks upon, the extensor surface of the hand of a Chimpanzee. ^ A communication was read from Capt. R ich a r d C r aw sh a y , F.Z.S., containing some observations on the field Natural History of the Lion made during 17 years of travel and residence in Central Africa. The sixth part of Sir C h ar les E liot's contributions " On some Nudibranchs from East Africa and Zanzibar " was read. It contained an account of thirty species and varieties, of which eight of the former and one of the latter were described as new. Mr. R . L y d e k k e r exhibited and read a paper on some photographs of Giraffes and a Zebra taken from pictures in the Art Collection at Windsor Castle, and an old print of a Zebra dated 1762. Mr. Lydekker was of opinion that the picture and print of the Zebra had been taken from the same animal. In a second communication Mr. L y d e k k e r described two specimens of Lorises, one a Slow Loris (Nycticebus) and the other a Slender Loris (Loris), which had recently been acquired by the British Museum. The latter was pointed out to be sufficiently different from the typical L. gracilis to be entitled to subspecific rank. * This Abstract is published by the Society at 3 Hanover Square, London, W ., on the Tuesday following the date of Meeting to which it refers. It will be issued, free o f extra charge, to all Fellows who subscribe to the Publications, along with the ‘ Proceedings' ; but it may be obtained on the day of publication at the price of Sixpence, or, if desired, sent post-free for the sum o f Six Shillings per annum, payable in advance. |
