NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 1 1 3 



raised from seed of C. acuminatus Cheel, crossed with pollen of 

 C. lanceolatus DC; the leaves of the hybrid show the charac- 

 teristic prominent venation of C. acuminatus, but are not quite 

 so acuminate. 



Mr. J. G. Hunter showed specimens of an enormous Antarctic 

 Pycnogonid, dredged in 25 fathoms off the coast of Adelie Land. 



Mr. Fletcher showed four fruits, up to 8 J inches long, three in 

 one cluster, of the North American Tecoma radicans Juss., a 

 common plant in Sydney gardens, but which rarely fruits. The 

 flowers are freely visited by honey eaters; but these invariably get 

 at the nectar by pecking holes in the corolla near the base, the 

 tubular flowers being too deep for them. 



Mr. J. E. Carne, F.G.S., showed a most interesting series of 

 lantern views, illustrating a geologist's visit to New Guinea and 

 Java.
