122 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEaN SOCIETY 



Lomaria procera, Sprengel, is L. capensis, W., but the habitat 

 (Maroochie and Cooper's Plains) not given. 



Lomaria discolor, W., and L. vulcanica, BL, are both noticed 

 in the Flora as from Rockingham Bay. The first named I found 

 at Maroochie four years back, but that habitat is not given, 

 although I at the time sent it to the Baron von Mueller. Very 

 likely it has been overlooked. We must not be surprised at such 

 omissions, or the necessary corrections specified. Indeed it is 

 to the highest credit of the learned authors that in a work of such 

 magnitude the errors are so few. But botanists should be careful 

 in the interests of science to verify for themselves everything in 

 the Flora, because it is but the commencement of a work which 

 must be followed up, and many of their remarks will be valuable 

 for the supplement which I understand is to follow. 



Baron Miklucho-Maclay advocated the establishment of a 

 Zoological Station near Sydney, and explained the benefits to 

 scientific research, afforded by such institutions. 



The suggestion was warmly supported by the Rev. J. E. 

 Tenison- Woods, F.G.S., &c., and other members of the Society. 



EXHIBITS. 



Mr. J. Brazier exhibited the shells described in his paper, viz., 

 Helix Behias, H. Zehina, H. Bala, H. Mazee, H. Nicnm,ede, H. 

 Beddomce, and Voluta Bednalli ; also a new Helix from Port 

 Moresby, and a Holothuria, dredged at the Heads of Port 

 Jackson. Dr. Cox remarked that the Helix from Port Moresby 

 was almost identical with a species found at the Philippine 

 Islands.
