414 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



(d) Cromus sp, .- this specimen resembles C. Beauvionti, but differs 

 from any figures I have seen of it in having y^edunculated eyes and 

 unspined pleurte. The specimen now exhibited is complete, and 

 is the first so found, as far as 1 am aware, though it is not 

 uncommon to get specimens perfect in every particular except the 

 presence of the free cheeks and eyes, (e) Turrilepas sp. ; the 

 fragment now exhibited is referred to Turrilepas by Mr. Etheridge, 

 F.G.S., Government Palseontologist, and is the first recorded from 

 Australia, (f) Psilophyton sp. : the specimen shown is provisionally

 Australia has not before been recorded. At Bowning it is found 

 associated with Phacops caudahcs, P. fecundus (1), Acidaspis 

 Leonhardi (1), and another Acidaspis. 



Specimens of Crustacea belonging to the genus Entomis were 

 also exhibited. In concluding, Mr. Mitchell alluded to the 

 absence of many important palseontological works from the 

 libraries ia this colony, and the consequent difficulty in many 

 cases of getting fossils identified. 



Mr. Macleay exhibited two fine and unusually large-sized 

 specimens of the very remarkable fish LeptocepTialus tcenia, 

 obtained by the Rev. Tenison- Woods in the China Sea. He also 

 exhibited the Insects and Snake described by him, 



Mr. Trebeck called attention to the report of a deputation to 

 the Colonial Secretary of Queensland in reference to the desira- 

 bility of cultivating the virus of pleuro-pneumonia for protective 

 inoculation, and expressed the hope that Dr. Katz would turn his 

 attention to the matter. In reply Dr. Katz stated at the next 

 meeting of the Society he would read a paper on the subject. 



Mr. Fletcher exhibited living and spirit specimens of a number 

 of indigenous land-planarians, as well as some of their egg- 

 capsules ; also specimens of the species of earthworms described 

 in his paper. 



Dr. Katz exhibited in connection with his paper on phosphor- 

 escent bacteria, an interesting series of pure cultures of these
