124 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



doubt about this specimen, as it I'esembles very much the 

 rare sub-genus Endoceras, which however, is alower silurian fossil, 

 whilst the fossil exhibited comes from the same limestone beds as 

 Asterolepis, and is therefore Devonian. He also exhibited 

 drawings of the above specimens, of the large Crioceras Australe 

 (Chas. Moore), from the Neocomian of Northern Queensland, 

 a sketch ot its Septa, and Drawings of two Species of Sanguino- 

 lites C?) from New Caledonia, probably Carboniferous. (From the 

 collection of Rev. F. Monrouzier, Noumea. Casts in the A.us- 

 tralian iMuseum.) 



Dr. R. von Lendenfeld exhibited two Rock Specimens from the 

 Australian Alps. One formed part of the summit of Mount 

 Kosciusco, and the other was taken from the summit rocks of 

 Mount Townsend, the highest mountain in Australia. The former 

 is a very coarse grained dark colored granite, the latter possesses the 

 appearance of gneiss ; although it is also granite of a very light 

 colour. 



Dr. R. von Lendenfeld also exhibited specimens of Cypress Pine, 

 ( Frenelarohusta), which had been affected by the larva of Diadoxus 

 erifthrurus. Extensive tracts of pine scrub have been devastated by 

 this insect, which may thus render great services to the settlers in 

 the back country. A living specimen of the larva, a grub an inch 

 and a half long, was also exhibited. 



Mr. Ogilby exhibited the Fishes referred to in his paper. 



Mr. E. P. Ramsay exhibited the following rare birds : — Scen- 

 opeus dentirostris, Ramsay, and a new sp. of Collyriocincla, 

 obtained by Mr. Boyer Bower at Cairns, Queensland ; also a fine 

 specimen of Lophorina superha from the Astrolabe Ranges, in New 

 Guinea. 



Also the anterior portion of the skull containing the pre- 

 maxillaries and two front incisors complete of a new extinct 

 marsupial, allied to the wombat, but quite distinct from the 

 genus Phascolomys. The portion exhibited indicated an animal 

 at least twice the size of any known fossil or recent species. The 

 two upper incisors ai'e worn away in a similar oblique manner to 

 that exhibited in the aiew genus Sceparnodon.
