PAPER. 



By Mr. C. Daley, M.A., F.L.S.. entitled " The Victorian 

 Grampians." 



This took the form of a lecturette descriptive of a fine scries 

 of lantern views depicting some of the scenic wonders of the 

 Grampians. Some of the weathering of the sandstone was 

 most remarkable, and for fantastic shapes will compare favour- 

 abl}^ with occurrences in other parts of the world. 



NATURAL HISTORY NOTE. 



^Ir. F. Chapman, A.L.S., said that one of our commonest 

 fossils is the tooth of the shark hitherto known as Oxyrhina 

 hasialis, Ag. This must in future be known as Isitnis hastalis, 

 the name Oxyrhina ha\ing been found to be preoccupied by 

 a genus of dipterous insects.
