NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Dr. Ramsay sent for exhibition (1) numerous specimens of Peri- 

 patus collected by Mr. Helms, on behalf of the Australian 

 Museum, at high altitudes on Mount Kosciusko, N.S. W. : (2) three 

 species of the smaller white Cockatoos, Cacatua sanguinea, 

 Gould, C. gymno2ns, Sclater, and C. n.sp., the latter being 

 about the size of C. sanguinea, but with no rose or yellowish tints 

 on the crest which is altogether white, the lores with a small spot 

 rose-salmon, and the bare space round the eye comparatively as 

 large as that in C. gymnopis, the bare space above the eye 

 narrower; Ilab., Lower Darling River: and (3) the skin of a small 

 species of Phalanger i^Pseudochiriis) of a jet black colour, the belly 

 and tip of the tail white ; this new species belongs to the same sec- 

 tion as P. cookii and P. lanuginosa (vel P. j9ere^riw?ts) ; Hah., 

 Bellenden Ker, Queensland, collected by Messrs. Cairn and 

 Grant for the Australian Museum. 



Mr. Ogilby exhibited a living specimen of a lizard belonging 

 to the curious genus Phrynosoma, the ^'Horned Toads " of the 

 Western United States and Mexico. The present exhibit was 

 obtained in a mine at Denver, Col., by Mr. Sydney Cohen, and 

 by him presented to the Museum. He also exhibited a lizard of 

 the genus Calotes, which he believes to be C. cristatellus, and 

 which came from N. W. New Guinea, where it was collected by 

 Capt. Strachan, who presented it to the Museum, through the 

 medium of the Nat. Hist. Association ; he remarked that so far as 

 he can ascertain this is the first record of the occurrence of the 

 genus in New Guinea. Mr. Ogilby also exhibited the jaws of a 

 species of Myliohatis which he is unable to determine, the large 

 central teeth in the lower jaw being sub-arcuate instead of recti- 

 lineal as in the other known species ; the jaws were sent to the 

 Museum for identification from the Bermagui River by Mr. 

 George Emmanuel.
