362 NOTES AND EXHIBI'IS. 



immature, but botli belong to well-known fresli-water genera. 

 One is Therapon fasctatus, Cast., described originally from the 

 Swan River. There are specimens in the Macleay Museum from 

 the Hodgkinson River. This young individual shows the strong 

 spines of the prjeoperculum and the pneorbital which distinguish 

 this species from T. percoides, Giinther. The other fish is a very 

 young Chatoessus, and seems to correspond better with C. erehi^ 

 Giinther, than with C. rich'irdsoni, Castelnau. The latter is the 

 form characteristic of the waters of the Murray System. It v/ould 

 seem that both fishes are coast river and not Murray species. It 

 is to be hoped that the Horn Expedition will bring back abundant 

 material Vjy means of which further light may be thrown on the 

 distribution of Australian fresh- water fish, and esp3cially on the 

 limits of the Murray Province. 



Mr. Rainbow showed living trap-door spiders (Idtops sp.), with 

 their nests, from Burrilda, N.S.W. 



Dr. Cox exhibited a very fine series of complete specimens — 

 fructification and host — of several species of fungi [Sphceria, Isaria 

 or Cordyceps) infesting caterpillars and other insect larvse, obtained 

 at the Kurrajong Heights by Mr. Henry Selkirk, and he communi- 

 cated an interesting Note embjdying the collector's observations 

 thereon. 



Mr. Waite exhibited the snake and the tishes described or 

 referred to in the papers by Mr. Ogilby and himself ; also, on 

 behalf of Mr. Skuse, the larva of a large moth (Pieluss]).) infested 

 with Isaria, from Peak Hill, N.S.W. 



Mr. Etheridge exhibited three boomerangs, and the specimen of 

 Glossopteris from Mudgee, in illustration of the second and the 

 last of the papers above-mentioned. 



Mr. Fletcher exhibite I specimens of two spscies of phyllopod 

 entomostraca (Lepidunoi) from Tamworth (collected by Mr. C. T. 

 Mnsson) and Danlaloo on the Bogan (collected by Mr. Alleyne 

 Fletcher), and he pointed out that as only three Australian species 

 — two from S.A. and one from Tasmania — had been described, the 

 group would probably repay attention. He also showed tiowers
