236 NOTES AND KXHIBITS. 



Newcastle. The plants are fairly common along the roadside, 

 about five miles out on the Gloucester Road, and do not appear 

 to have been collected since January, 1882, when the late Mr. 

 E. Betche obtained specimens at Gloucester. — (5) Examples of 

 Rosa hracteata Wendl., from near Raymond Terrace. Specimens 

 identical with the above were exhibited, and recorded from 

 Kembla Grange, Cook's River, and Armidale (These Proceedings, 

 1912, p. 137; and 1916, p.633), under the name Rosa turhinata 

 Ait.; but further investigation shows that, although they are 

 identical with specimens in the National Herbarium from Mont- 

 pellier under the latter name, the determination is erroneous. — 

 (6) Fresh specimens of Styphelia tubiflora, from Cronulla, show- 

 ing variation in the colour of the flowers, from creamy-white in 

 some plants, pink and cream in others, and the normal blood-red. 

 Although the individual plants showed the above-mentioned 

 distinctive colours, they were growing within a radius of 15 feet 

 of each other, and were very marked. 



Mr. Hedley showed a photograph of the cenotaph in memory 

 of Major A. C. Innes (ob. 1857), and Mrs. Innes (nee Margaret 

 Macleay, daughter of Alexander Macleay : ob. 1858j, in the old 

 church at Port Macquarie. References to Major and Mrs. Innes, 

 and to their home at Lake Innes, in 1836, will be found in James 

 Backhouse's " Narrative of a Visit to the Australian Colonies,'" 

 p.406(1843). 



Mr. A. G. Hamilton communicated some particulars about 

 so-called "glow-worms," probably larvae of a Tipulid fly, found 

 on damp, rocky ledges on the banks of a creek near Bundanoon. 

 They are said to be found also in deserted coal-mines. 



Mr. Waite, a visitor from Adelaide, called attention to the 

 first Part of the liecords of the South Australian Museum, at 

 Adelaide, recently issued.
