168 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Also, fruits of Sechium edule, Swartz, a West Indian member 

 of the natural order Curcurbitacece, which has been successfully 

 acclimatised in Queensland for some years past. From a specimen 

 forwarded from Queensland to Sir William Macleay a nourishing 

 plant has been raised, which is now bearing freely in Sir William's 

 garden, the specimen exhibited being from the plant in question. 



Also, a living specimen of Chiroleptes australis, Gray, forwarded 

 from Herberton, Queensland, by Mr. F. Christian. This species 

 of frog inhabits the northern half of the continent, and has not 

 been recorded on the east coast from further south than the 

 Clarence Kiver.
