214 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Froggatt exhibited specimens of Idolothrips sjyecti^um, 

 Newm., the largest known Thrips. The insects are plentiful at 

 the present time among dead leaves, and can be obtained by 

 shaking dead bushes over a net. 



Mr. R. H. Cambage exhibited a series of photographs, timbers, 

 and herbarium specimens in illustration of his paper. 



Professor Tate contributed the following Note on the nomen- 

 clature of a Port Jackson mollusc. The Port Jackson Cingutina 

 J3razieri, Angas, has long resisted recognition, as it has generally 

 been assumed to be, or related to, C. spina, Crosse {Turritella), in 

 the Family PyramidellidcE. Mr. Hedley has now discovered 

 specimens which apply to the figure and diagnosis of the type, 

 but the generic position is to Tevebra ; and because Angas's 

 species-name is already in use in that genus, I apply in its place 

 the name of Mr. Hedley in recognition of his persistent effort 

 for a more correct classificatory position of the species. Terehra 

 Hedleyi, Tate, is remarkable for its glassy pellucidity and its 

 encircling ribs. 



Mr. S. J. Johnston exhibited a collection of lizards procured 

 by Mr. A. E. Finckh of the Sydney University, on Lizard 

 Island, during his visit to the Barrier Reef in the early 

 part of this year. It comprised four species, represented by 

 about thirty-five specimens, namely, Lygosoma yardalis, Macl., 

 L. peronii, D. k B., L. pectorale^ De Vis, and Gehyra variegata, 

 D. & B. Captain Cook and Sir Joseph Banks landed on the 

 island in August, 1770. They found that on the north- 

 west side it "abounded with lizards of a very large size, 



some of which we took As we saw no animals 



upon this place but lizards, I called it Lizard Island '' (^Hawkes- 

 worth. Vol. iii. pp. 194-195). Whether the specimens then collected 

 were ever described or recorded does not appear to be ascertain- 

 able. The four species now recorded are all represented by 

 animals of small size.
