NOTES AND EXHIBITS, 577 



the species had not hitherto been recorded from Australia, though 

 an unnamed Phronima was taken by the ' Challenger ' between 

 Sydney and New Zealand. 



Mr. W. S. Dun exhibited specimens of a new species of Lej^i- 

 dodendron from Yalwal, collected by Mr. E. C. Andrews. These 

 were evidently of the Lepidodendron veltheimianum type, and 

 constitute a new species somewhat closely allied to Nathorst's L. 

 Heeri from the Lower Carboniferous of Nova Zembla. From 

 stratigraphical considerations the Lepidodendron beds at Yalwal 

 appeared to be of Devonian age. 



Mr. C. A. Siissmilch exhibited a specimen of a similar Lepi- 

 dodendro)i collected by Mr. W. W. Simpson at Bermagui. 



Mr. E. Cheel showed herbarium specimens, together with fresh 

 examples raised from seed, of what he believed to be an unde- 

 scribed species of Callisteinon, collected on mountain slopes of the 

 Crawford River near Bulahdelah in October, 1902. One plant, 

 although only three years old, produced thirty-seven spikes of 

 bloom. All the seedling plants show the characteristics of the 

 parent plant, viz., bracts very persistent, leaves acuminate, 

 strongly veined and somewhat undulate; fruits slightly smaller 

 than those of C. lanceolatus DC, and densely covered with per- 

 sistent silky hairs. A series of specimens of 0. lanceoiatus 

 showing considerable variation was exhibited for comparison. 



Mr. D. McAlpine sent, for exhibition, a specimen of a new 

 species of Rust {Piiccinia loranthicola McAlp.) recently met with 

 upon the leaves of Loranthus celastroides in Victoria. 



Mr. Maiden showed a large number of herbarium specimens in 

 illustration of his paper. 



Mr. Tillyard showed the type-specimens of three new species 

 of Austrogomphus in illustration of his paper. 



Mr. T. G. Taylor exhibited, and explained the construction of 

 a Stereogram of New South Wales. The model is about 6x5 

 feet, and was made in the Geological Department at the Univer- 

 si.ty, by the direction of Professor David. The horizontal scale
