NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. J. J. Walker exhibited well-preserved specimens of 

 Anaspides (Anasjns) tasmanicn, Thomson, a fresh-water shrimp 

 found in creeks and pools on Mount Wellington, Tasmania, and 

 adjacent mountains, at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Also as bear- 

 ing upon the question of the affinities of Eiischemon rafffesia, 

 discussed at the April Meeting, Mr. Walker called attention to 

 Sir George Hampson's account of a second member of the Family 

 EuschemonidcH from Zululand, in Part i. of the Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 Lond. for 1903, recei\ed by a recent mail. 



Mr. Froggatt showed a fine series comprising examples of all 

 the known species of the Neuropterous genus Psychoj)sis, in 

 illustration of his paper. 



Mr. Turner exhibited more than 100 species of plants from the 

 Darling country in illustration of his paper. Also portions of 

 shrubs of about a dozen western species raised from seed and now 

 well established in Hyde Park. On the motion of Dr. Norton a 

 vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Turner for his interesting- 

 paper. 



The Rev. W. W. Watts called attention to Mr. E. S. Salmon's 

 successful effort [Britten's Journal of Botany, January, 1903] to 

 unravel nomenclatural intricacies in the case of the moss described 

 by Schwaegrichen in 1842 under the name Bm^bid a mnioides^ but 

 which must now be transferred to the genus Calypto'pogon. In 

 Part i. of the ' Census Muscorum Australiensium,' B. mnioides is 

 not recognised; but, under TortuJa, both the species crisimta and 

 Wilhehnii are retained. In future these two must apparently be 

 merged in Calyptojjogon vmioides (Schwgr.), Broth. In his 

 ' Bryales,' Brotherus gives all the species reviewed by Mr. Salmon, 

 viz., C. mnioides (^^Schwgr.), crisjmtulus (CM.), Hookeri (R.Br.),
