NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 491 



Mr. Hamilton also referred to the Loranths of the Mudgee 

 district*; and he exhibited fresh flowering specimens of Loranthus 

 longiflorus growing on " White Cedar " {Melia composita) and 

 L. miraculosus on Acacia decurrens from Willoughby; and 

 herbarium specimens of Nuytsia . fiorihunda and of a terete- 

 leaved Loranth with a distinct tomentum, growing on Casuarina, 

 collected by him at Perth, W.A. 



Mr. Maiden exhibited and offered some observations on a 

 series of specimens illustrative of the Loranths of the County of 

 Cumberland. He pointed out that the host-plants were very 

 numerous; and he suggested the advisability of some co-operative 

 effort on the part of observers and collectors to reduce the records 

 to order and tabulate the results. 



Mr. Baker showed - a specimen of Loranthus pendulus on 

 Eucalyptus hemiphloia growing near Prospect; and also a series 

 of photographs furnished by Mr. M. A. Sullivan, of Granville, 

 illustrating various stages in the unequal contest between the 

 parasites and their hosts.
