Dr. Stanley, in a few introductory re marks, poisted out that he desired to stimulate interest in the Lociety's museum, He Gist spoke of the connexion of soakes with the arts and literature, alluding to the dragon as a myth the origin of which it was difficult to trace although it bore a resemblance to ikat extinct reptile, the Pterodactyl ; and to the dollar mark as the serpiht entwined about the Pillar of Hercules. He defined reptiles as cold-blooded vertebrates, breathing by lungs throughout their existence, and having the body covered with scales and plates. It would appear, he mid, that most of the orders of reptiles” were now extinct, being found fossilized, only;"but the recent reptiles were divided into the order of the crocodiles, the order of the tortoises and OF the order of the lizards and soakes. The order of the crocodiles was represented in Chinese alligator, which was the holy non-American alligator and was first described by M. Fauve! in the "Inuraal" of the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1979, Dr.No Claims will be admitted after, the Goods Stauley drew attention to a very fine specimen ing undelivered after the 29th instant will be he had on the table.

All Claims must be presented within ten days of the steamer's arrival here after which, date they cannot be recognised.

Dr. Stanley gave a summary of the work of. Cantor, Swinhos, Anderson, David, Möllen- dorff, Faurel, Günther and Walt regarding the reptiles of China, wherein it was shown that ∙two distinct fanvre were indicated in the fist of Chinese reptiles, one tropical in character, and the other showing the influence of the neigh bourhood of the temperate region, the change from the tropical to the temperate fauna being | very gradual; and that the reptiles of China were not distinguished by the presence of types sirikingly different from those of the surrounding countries, Several specias with so affinity to the North Americas or Japanese fauna were, however, added to this mixture of types of the Old World,

The lecturer concluded by saying that be hoped he had been able to stimulate an in- terest in the Museum and invited contributions of specimens from various parts of Chind so [53 as to make the collection thoroughly represen

tative of Chisese Natural history." He was taking some specimens to the British Muraum Ister, so that names might be given to them.
