folia Willd.: the variation found in this species is comparatively 

 slight, resting chiefly on size and breadth. — Records: Microcala 

 quadranyular'is DC, Duck River, Clyde (September, 1914; A. A. 

 Hamilton; new for New South Wales); Lycopodinm cernuuni L.,* 

 Berowra to Peat's Ferry (A. A. Hamilton; August, 1912; pre- 

 viously recorded from the Northern Rivers); Hibbertia peduncu- 

 lata R.Br, Wyong (October, 1913; A. A. Hamilton); Hibbertia 

 sericea Benth., Turramurra (November, 1912; A. A. Hamilton); 

 the last two species have not previously been recorded from the 

 localities given. 



Dr. H. G. Chapman communicated a note on the response of a 

 Eunicid worm to a gustatory stimulus. The worms rise up out 

 of the sand when a piece of meat is dipped in the sea-water flow- 

 ing over them. The sensory organs of similar forms have been 

 described as olfactory. As the stimulus is carried by water, it 

 seems better to describe this sensation as gustatory.

 Gardens, No.7," Maiden & Betche, in These Proceedings, 1901, p. 90.
