 femur of Dlnornis robustus from Christ Church, New Zealand. 



Mr. Masters exhibited very large and heavy wooden swords 

 from Herbert River, Queensland, resembling boomerangs in shape, 

 together with unusually wide Hielemans or shields from the same 

 district. Also a waddy or club, with the head thickly set with 

 hobnails. 



Mr. Hirst exhibited a centipede (Heterostoma) 10 inches long, 

 and about f-inch broad, from the Herbert River. 



Dr. von Lendenfeld exhibited a series of Photographs of 

 Mount Kosciusko, showing the various ways in which the granite 

 rocks are broken down in that locality, partly by frost, and partly 

 by ordinary weathering. 



The President drew attention to a singular case of germination 

 of the seeds of an orange within the uninjured fruit before its 

 removal from the tree. The testa was broken, the cotyledons 

 enlarged, free, and green, and the plumule and radicle well 

 developed.
