above and below. Antennce wbitisli; with, obsolete dark fuscous 

 annulations. Thorax white, anterior margin narrowly blackish- 

 fuscous. Abdomen ochreous-grey. Legs whitish, anterior pair 

 suffused with dark fuscous above, middle and posterior tarsi with 

 faint dark fuscous rings at base of joints. Fore-wings dull gre}^ 

 along costa broadly suffused with blackish ; a white very oblique 

 streak from costa near base, and a white oblique streak from ^ 

 of inner-margin, uniting in a white spot on disc before middle, 

 wbence proceeds a rather cloudy straight central longitudinal 

 white streak towards apex of wing, becoming obsolete a little 

 before it ; below this streak and towards apex the ground-colour 

 is suffusedly mixed with white ; three other slender very oblique 

 white streaks from costa, first rather beyond middle, indistinctly 

 meeting central streak ; second and third close together about |, 

 running out nearly to apex ; an ovate blackish apical spot, with, 

 a white blotch above and another below it, mostly in cilia ; cilia 

 white, towards anal angle fuscous-grey, with a blackish line round 

 outer edge of apical spot, a blackish dividing-line beyond it, and 

 a short hook-like blackish spot at extreme apex. Hind- wings 

 and cilia fuscous-grey. 



Allied to E. niphadopla, but not capable of being confused with 

 it or any other species ; the larger number of costal streaks, .and 

 the longitudinal central streak not extended to base are reliable 

 points. Eight specimens taken at rest on the trunk of a fibrous- 

 barked species of Eucalyptus near Parramatta at the end of 

 January ; I have little doubt that the larva had fed in the bark 

 of the tree. 



NOTES AXD EXHIBITS. 



Dr, Cox exhibited eight Stone Axe Heads, turned up by the 

 plough at Castlereagh on the Nepean Flats. He was of opinion, 

 from the position in which they were found, that they had been
