Eph. interpunctella Hb. 

 Sydiiey, Parramatta, common. The larva feeds in corn-bins, 

 apparently especially on maize, in company with Sitotroga cereaU 

 ella, doing considerable damage. 



GALLERID^. 



Galleria F. 



Gall, mellonella L. 



Specimens of this insect are sent from Queensland, where it is 



considered destructive ; the larva feeds in bee-hives on the wax. 



ACHROEA Eb. 

 Achr. grisella F. 

 Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne ; common in February and 

 March. The larva feeds in bee-hives on the wax, causing very 

 great destruction if not checked ; but I have also seen it very 

 abundant in a fruit-shop in Sydney, which may indicate some 

 versatility of habit. 



ON THE GEOLOGY OF YASS PLAINS. 

 [Second Paper.] 



By Charles Jenkins, Esq., L.S., Yass. 

 Plate 17. 



In endeavouring to describe some of the fossils enumerated in 

 my former paper, I necessarily labour under the disadvantage of 

 having at Yass no opportunities of making such comparisons, or 

 at present the references, I could wish. Without assuming such 

 special knowledge, as only a life exclusively devoted to Palae- 

 ontology can give, I hope, however, by detailed drawings and 

 descriptions, to place before you the specific nature of the difier- 

 ent fossils in such a manner that, if ray determination should be 

 wrong, it may be at once apparent to those better qualified to 

 judge than myself. 



I propose, in the first place, to deal with those fossils which I 

 either consider the more remarkable, or are well-known and re- 

 garded in other countries 9,3 characteristic of particular zones,
