698 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Froggatt exhibited specimens of (l)a new "plague-locust" 

 ( Pachytyhis sp.) very numerous and destructive at present in the 

 south-western districts of the Colony, different from and smaller 

 than the well-known depredator P. australis, and the ovipositing 

 females of which are attended in a remarkable manner by 

 numerous males; (2) the large composite woody galls of Brachy- 

 scelis Jletche7'i,0\\., so numerous on a large Eucalypt ( E melliodora) 

 near Wagga as to threaten its destruction; and (3) the foliage of 

 a Eucalypt from Mittagong showing abundant formation of 

 manna after the operations of the phytophagous larvse of a 

 Chrysomelid beetle ( Paropsis reticulata), living examples of which 

 were also shown.
