142 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



larvae of Galeruca semipullata, Clark ; also, specimens of the 

 larvae, chrysalids, and tlie perfect insects with drawings of the 

 same. Though apparently most partial to the cultivated tig 

 (Ficus caricaj, the insects were also to be found on one of the 

 native figs (F. ruhiginosa) in the garden from which the specimens 

 exhibited came. 



Baron von Mueller sent for exhibition a specimen of Boronia 

 Adamsiana described in his paper. 



Mr. Miskin contributed the following " Note on Danais 

 Petilia, Stoll. In the Proceedings of the Society (Vol. IV. 

 2nd Ser. p. 119) appeared a note contributed by myself, in which 

 I endeavoured to explain the distinction between this — one of 

 our commonest species — and D. chrysippus, L., which latter does 

 not occur in Australia. In an editorial foot-note appended 

 thereto, which rather inconsequentially ignores the whole drift of 

 my remarks, reference is made to specimens of an insect from 

 North-West Australia in the Macleay Museum. Having had an 

 opportunity of inspecting these specimens, upon a recent visit to 

 Sydney, I found them to be a small form of D. gemttia, Cr. 

 (jjlexippiis, L.,* a species not hitherto credited as Australian), the 

 wide black veining of the secondaries determining the species 

 readily. I observe one error in my note, which I now correct, 

 i.e., the reference to Godart's as the only description ; a descrip- 

 tion is also contained in Stoll's Supplement. A later careful 

 comparison of both descriptions confii'ms the correctness of my 

 conclusions." 



Mr. North on behalf of Mr. K. H. Bennett sent for exhibition 

 a set of the eggs, three in number, of the Glossy Ibis, Ibis falcin- 

 ellus, Linn., taken at Yandembah, New South Wales, by Mr. 

 Bennett on the 2nd of November, 1889. At a meeting of this 



* Linn6's name has, through a mistaken habitat (America) given by him, 

 given rise to so much confusion in the identity of his species, that the 

 adoption of Cramer's name is rendered desirable, for certainty. — W. H. M.
