NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 739^" 



several examples of a Schizoneura (possibly S. (*?) aust7'alis, Eth. 

 fi].), closely allied to the Indian S. gondwanensis, Feistm.; on the 

 same slab is a frond of Glossopieris hroivniana. This association 

 is of great interest in regard to the Australian range of the 

 species. The unique type specimen of ;.S'. (?) australis was collected 

 from the roof of the Bulli seam. In India the genus occurs in the 

 Damuda and Panchet divisions of the Lower Gondwanas associated 

 with Phyllotkeca, Glossopieris, Gangmyiopteris, Sphenajyteris^ 

 Noeggerathiopsis, A iHliopteris, Macrotoiuiopteris^ A ngiopteridnim, 

 Sagenopteris and numerous other forms. In the Argentine Schi- 

 zoneitra is associated with an Upper Gondwana Flora which 

 contains such Australian Mesozoic types as Thinnfeldia odontop- 

 teroides and Zeugophyllites elongatus. 



Mr. North reported that among migratory species of birds 

 now breeding at Roseville, were Enrystomus 2y(^cijicus, Myiagra 

 ridw.cida, Gerygone albigidaris, Myzomela sanguinolenta, Lalage 

 tricolor, and EdoHisoma teiiuirostre ; the last of these had been 

 noted for the past two seasons at Roseville, and at Waterfall in 

 1897-8. During the month Mr. George Savidge had taken the 

 ^<g^^ of Cacomantis variolosus from the nest of Eopsnltria capito, 

 and on the 23rd inst. Mr. North had taken the same species of 

 Cuckoo's Qgg from the nest of Rhipidura rufifrons; also the egg 

 of the Bronze Cuckoo, Lamprococcyx plagosus, from the nest of 

 Gerygone fusca. At Ourimbah he also noted a pair of Monarcha 

 gouldi; and a small flock of Donacicola castaneothorax. Both 

 species are common on the northern coastal rivers, but this locality 

 is the farthest south he has known them to be found.
