578 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Masters exhibited a fine collection of Insects lately received 

 from Cairns, Queensland, and collected by Mr. W. Froggatt. 

 The Coleoptera were very numerous, and contained many new and 

 rare things. Among the Diurnal Lepidoptera were some beautiful 

 Pieridse. 



Mr. Macleay exhibited a very large"] specimen of a female 

 Tragoceras lepidopterus, Schreibers, which had been cut out of a 

 tree at Mount Victoria. Also the piece of wood from which the 

 insect had been obtained. He said he would be glad to know the 

 name of the tree, as a clue to the habits of the insect, which was 

 the finest of our Longicorns, and extremely rare. 



Mr. Whitelegge exhibited several microscopical slides of an 

 Hydroid Zoophyte from Bondi Bay, which he identified as the 

 Ceratella fusca. Gray. It is evident from the descriptions given 

 by Bale, and also by Lendenfeld, that neither of them had seen 

 the species, so that this is probably the first record of it since its 

 description in 1868. 



Mr. Fletcher exhibited specimens of the eight species of earth- 

 worms mentioned in his paper.
