NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 477 



Mr. Brazier exhibited photographs of four species of Partula 

 from the collection of Dr. Hartman, of Westchester, U.S. — Partula 

 Magdelince and bellula from the Marquesas Islands, Jlexuosa from 

 the Solomon Islands, and Tryoni from Tutuila, Samoan Islands. 

 For this last species Mr. Brazier explained that Dr. Hartman had 

 given a wrong locality (Solomon Islands) on the authority of 

 Mr. Andrew Garrett, the correct one being, as above stated, the 

 Samoan Islands. 



Mr. Meyrick exhibited the New Guinea Lepidoptera mentioned 

 in his Paper. 



Mr. Macleay exhibited thirty -seven species of Diphucephala out 

 of a total of forty-two species recorded in his Paper on the genus. 



Mr. Fletcher exhibited two stages of the segmenting ova of 

 Pseudophryne Bibronii, and tadpoles of the same species, still 

 enclosed in their gelatinous envelopes, but ready to hatch on 

 gaining access to water. 



The President exhibited a specimen of a Boletus (i?. bovinus) 

 very abundant in the University paddocks at present, and regarded 

 as a valuable esculent. Dr. Badham in his work upon the edible 

 Fungi, speaks of many species of Boletus as excellent in flavour 

 and perfectly wholesome. This species has been frequently used, 

 and much liked — though its appearance is not very attractive. 



Mr. Masters exhibited a fine collection of Land Shells from 

 Cairns, Queensland, among which were large specimens of Helix 

 bipartita, H. Macgillivrayi, H. Franklandie?isis, and Vitrina 

 Brazieri.
