ton weight, found growing on the chain of a buoy placed off 

 Dobroyde Point on the 9th of July 1884, and taken up on 

 September 30, 1885. The largest specimen measured 3i inches 

 by 4 inches, the stalk 10^ inches in length, the color is of a rich 

 orange red. 



The Hon. James Norton, M.L.C., exhibited specimens of a 

 Weeping Eucalyptus (Ironbark) with deep rose coloured flowers 

 and branches of apparently the same species with white flowers — 

 both varieties ai-e from Canley Vale. 



The President drew attention to the report upon Tasmanian 

 Fisheries recently presented to Parliament by Mr. W. Saville- 

 Kent, F.L.S., F.Z.S., in which it is stated that the true Salmon, 

 S. solar, had not as yet been established in the island, that it is 

 px'obable that none of the ova imported in 1864 arrived at 

 maturity, and that the large fish which have been reputed to be 

 Salmon are in reality Brown Trout (Salmo far 16), " corresponding 

 in all essential points with that variety known in England as the 

 Great Lake Trout, or Salmofario, y-av., ferox or lacustris.'" 



Considerable discussion followed, in which much hesitation was 

 expressed as to the absolute determination of the points here men- 

 tioned, Mr. Ogilby declaring that the Salmo fario and all its forms- 

 (*S'. trutta, S. levenensis, S. ferox, S. gallivensis, &c.), differ only in 

 consequence of variation in diet, time of bi'eeding, depth of 

 water, &c.
