398 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



year I noticed that the plant was very badly " rusted " with 

 Uromyces trifolii, specimens of which were exhibited at the Meet- 

 ing of this Society in May, 1913. With a view of trying to infect 

 plants of "White or Dutch Clover " (7 r . repens), I lifted the 

 plant of " Perennial Red Clover " (7'. pratense-perenne) which was 

 in very poor condition, and every leaflet more or less " rusted.'' 

 and put it into a flower-pot with some rich compost, and placed 

 it in one of the hot-houses in the Botanic Gardens. The result 

 was that the plant had now produced several apparently healthy 

 shoots and leaflets, with no signs of "rust " on any part of the 

 new growth. — On behalf of Dr. J. B. Cleland, the two following 

 interesting species of Phalloidece were shown : Clathrus pusillus 

 Berk.,(Milson Island, Hawkesbury River; July, 1912) [for pre- 

 vious records, see These Proceedings, 1907, 839; and Cheel, in 

 The Directors' Annual Report of the Botanic Gardens, Sydne}^ 

 (1909) 1910, p.ll]; and Lysurus australiensis Cke. &, Mass., 

 (Milson Island; July, 1912). In the National Herbarium, there 

 is also a fine series of specimens from Campsie, collected by J. 

 Nichol in April, 1912, with six and seven lobes instead of the 

 usual five; and also specimens from Woolwich, collected by Mr. 

 F. Smith, in June, 1908, with two of the lobes united at the 

 apex: and from Botanic Gardens, Sydney (W. F. Blakely, and 

 W. Challis). 



Mr. H. J. Carter showed a representative series of specimens 

 of the genus Notonomus^ in illustration of Mr. Sloane's paper, 

 distance preventing the exhibition of the author's collection. 



Mr. North, with the sanction of the Curator of the Australian 

 Museum, sent for exhibition, skins of an adult male and female 

 Black-banded Fruit-Pigeon (Leucotreron alligator Collet). These 

 specimens were collected respectively on 23rd and 24th June, 

 1912, at Owenpilly, East Alligator River, Northern Territory, by 

 Professor W. Baldwin Spencer, of the University of Melbourne, 

 and Director of the National Museum.
