NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 29 



A. P. Kemp, of Kempsey. These snakes were hatched in 

 captivity, the eggs having been obtained at Unkya, on the 

 Macleay River. In a gully, at this place, individuals of the species 

 were said to exist, not in scores, but in hundreds; and in view of 

 the large number exhibited at the meeting the statement was by 

 no means difficult of belief. 



In illustration of Mr. Ken3^on's papei', Mr. Brazier exhibited 

 specimens of Cyprcua helvola, C. tabescens, C. erosa, C miliaris, C. 

 lynx, and G. cariieola, all showing callosities; a colour variety of C. 

 angustala; and examples of Trivia anstraJis with a distinct dorsal 

 sulcus, a character not in conformity with the generic definition. 



Mr. Turner exhibited some well grown fruits of Pyrus domestica, 

 L., the True Service Tree, from a gai'den at Camden, a species 

 which, it is believed, has seldom been obserA'ed to fruit here.
