    [Extractedfrom the Linnean Society’s Journal—Zoology, vol. xiii.] BY ALBAN H. Gr. DORAN, F.R.C.S. (Abstract.) The complete memoir on the small ear-bones of the Mammals will hereafter be published in the Society’s ‘ Transactions,’ with copious illustrations, whereby an excellent comparison of the various forms peculiar to and significant of groups may be instituted. Previously elsewhere* I have given a short resume respecting the material which has afforded the means of study of the series, with a brief reference to what has already been published on the internal auditory apparatus, and added a short notice concerning points among certain of the higher groups of the Mammalia. For the present abstract I shall therefore confine my remarks to the audi- tory ossicles of the following orders, viz.:—the Insectivora, the Chiroptera, the Cetacea, the Sirenia, the Edentata, the Marsu- pialia, and the Monotremata. * Proc. Roy. Soc. vol. xxv. pp. 101-109 (1876).
