NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 311 



Mr. Harper exhibited ''onvars" or thumb-guards from Male- 

 kula, the modification in use in Efate, and examples of the plaited 

 arm-guards — sometimes erroneously termed armlets — of New 

 Guinea, together with specimens of the bows and arrows used in 

 conjunction therewith. Also deformed Malekulan crania to 

 illustrate photographs sent to him by Mr. R. Parkinson, of New 

 Britain, who had recently found amongst the inhabitants of South 

 Cape, New Britain, exactly the same deformation as that practised 

 by the people of South Malekula and the Maskelyne Islets. 



Professor David exhibited rock specimens, and sections under 

 the microscope to illustrate the occurrence of minute organisms 

 in certain beds of the Rolling Downs Formation. 



Mr. Froggatt exhibited a fine collection of Australian Psyllids 

 in illustration of his paper.
