Several specimens of this widely distributed Australian tree

 northern limit. 



7. — Pelodryas militarius. 



Ramsay, Proc. Linn. Soc, N. S. Wales, vol. 2, p. 28. 



Mr. Ramsay described this species from a specimen obtained 

 at New Ireland. I found it at both Hall Sound and Katow, 

 some of the specimens from the last named place being 4| inches 

 long in the body, and 9 inches in the legs. The elongate form, 

 the great length of the legs, and the small size, if not entire 

 absence of the paratoids, separate this very widely from the 

 typical species of Pelodryas.
