392 OCCASIONAL NOTES ON PLANTS, 



Ea, exceptis paucis Cephalopodis et Belcmnitis, solus collegit 

 Daintree, et loco citato Etheridge specimina illustravit. Etiam ob 

 genera et subgenera incertitudo inter illos f eliciter stabilita, quam 

 per cbaracteres magis constantes bivalvatos rite determinare istis 

 completis exemplaribus facilius est quam per descriptiones tantum, 

 longe magis per incompletas et incertas quarum forma maxime 

 fallax est. Cum plurim® definitiones ad specimina singula 

 Musaeorum proposita3 sint, facile intelligitur, quam parum ad 

 specierum determinationem et specificam diiferentiam dijudican- 

 dum sufficiant sine amplissima experientia variationis legum inter 

 indigenas. Ex his ratiopibus ex magna parte pendere lingimus 

 immeusum novarum specierum numerum ultimis annis proposi- 

 tarum, quarum dimidium saltem numerum vel synonymas vel jam 

 descriptas sine temeritate enuntiare ausim, quamvis inultas, 

 quarum locus et affinitas in generibus tam vastis baud indicata 

 sunt sine ectyporum comparatione numquam determinare liceat. 

 Non satis est speciem ignotam sub nomine novo describere, sed 

 banc tamdiu in animo volutare donee nexus cum omnibus, ut ait 

 illust. Elias Eries, jam rite cognitis plene eluceat.*

 of the County of Cumberland. Even within a very limited area, 

 that is within a radius of six or seven miles from Sydney, the
