NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 125 



collecting in January of this year, between Exeter and Bundanoon 

 (Moss Vale District), on turning over a log I noticed a Peripatns 

 which from its attitude and general appearance specially attracted 

 my attention. This proved to be a female specimen of the above 

 species, and, so far as I am aware, this is the first occasion on 

 which its occurrence in this colony has been definitely recorded. 

 The lozenge-shaped pattern which characterises most of the speci- 

 mens found in Victoria is well displayed; and the fact of the 

 ovipositor being fully extruded in the specimen, which I now 

 exhibit, is sufficient guarantee of its identity. When visiting the 

 Australian Museum a few days ago I had an opportunity of 

 examining the specimens of FprijxdtLti preserved there, and I was 

 interested in noticing that those collected by Mr. Helms in 1889 

 at Mt. Kosciusko belong to the same species. All of the females 

 in the Museum collection from that locality, which I examined, 

 have the ovipositor plainly visible, and in many of them it is 

 fully extruded."
