NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. D. G. Stead exhibited a rough sketch of, and read a letter 

 from a correspondent living on the Manning River, giving 

 particulars of an unidentified marine animal, or portion of an 

 animal, recently found on the sea-shore on the north side of 

 Saltwater Creek, by the writer of the letter. 



As showing how the English fox is spreading, Mr. H. J. Carter 

 reported that he had in his possession the skin of one recently 

 shot at Darling Point by his gardener, who had been put on the 

 alert by depredations in the fowl-yard. 



Dr. R. Oreig-Smith exhibited a sample of "jellified" condensed 

 milk in illustration of his paper. 



On the motion of Mr. Stead, it was resolved: That the congratu- 

 lations of this Society be forwarded by letter to Lieut. Shackleton 

 upon the great results of his South Polar Expedition.
