previously from New South Wales. (7) Ascaris lumhricoides

Mr, Tillyard exhibited a series of four adults of Camacinia 

 Othello (J, a beautiful dragonfly from Cooktown. The specimens 

 exhibited were taken by Mr. E. A. C. Olive, of that town, and 

 are the only ones known besides the type-male, and a pair from 

 Prince of Wales' Island, Torres Straits. 



Mr. C. F. Laseron, by permission of the Curator, Technological 

 Museum, exhibited a series of Graptolites from a new locality
