the horses fed upon it, p. 925. Mr. J. Stirling has investigated 

 the distribution and origin of the Rutacea? of the Australian 

 Alps, and contributes a paper upon that subject, p. 1052. 



To conclude, Baron von Mueller, p. 1055, describes the following 

 species of New South Wales plants not previously determined, 

 Grevillea Renioickiana, Melaleuca Deanei, Bossicea Stejihensoni, 

 and Pultencea Bceuerlenii, with further notes on the Southern limit 

 of northern forms. 



Geology and Palceontoloyy. — Mr. Ratte, p. 133, has a note, 

 illustrated with plates, on Crioceras Australe from Yamba near 

 Rockhampton. Also, p. 1069, a second note on Tribrachiocrinus 

 corrugatus described Vol. IX., p. 1158 by the author, in which 

 the terminology of Messrs. Wachsmuth and Springer, as used in 

 their Revision of the Palaeocrinoidea, is applied to this species. 

 Also, on Jeanpaulia 1 and Cycadopteris from the Wianamatta 

 Shales, p. 1078, and on species of Trilobites, new to Australia, of 

 the genera Lichas Proetus and Acidaspis, from Wellington and 

 Bowning, p. 1063. Captain Hutton contributes a revised list of 

 the Mollusca of the Pareora and Oamaru System of New Zealand 

 (Miocene and Oligocene), which though still incomplete is much 

 fuller than any previously published, containing altogether 268 

 species, with notes on the nomenclature of some Australian Tertiary 

 Fossils. Mr. J. Stirling, dealing generally with a discussion which 

 has waxed rather warm as to a Glacial period in Australia, 

 summarises fresh and unquestionable evidence in the form of 

 Erratics, Blocs perches. Smoothed Surfaces and Moraines from 

 the Reewa River and Mount Bogong ; and refers to the relations 

 between our Alpine and the Tasmanian flora as bearing collateral 

 testimony to the same effect. Mr. J. Mitchell, who has 

 been for some time engaged upon the Geology of Bowning, 

 has drawn out a full account, p. 1193, stratigraphical and palse- 

 cntological, of that district, showing the Silurian character of 

 many portions which had hitherto been deemed Devonian, and 

 describing the intercalation of the igneous rocks of the district.
