NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Fred. Turner sent for exhibition a specimen of LejituriDi 

 cy'iadricus, Trin , one of several plants recently found by him 

 near Hay. This very rare i^rass in New South Wales has not 

 hitherto been found growing awa}^ from the coast ; onl}' once 

 before had he seen it, growing in company with L. incurvatus on 

 the shores of Port Jackson. Also specimens of two West Avis- 

 tralian leguminous plants ( Hrachysema unchdatum, Ker, and 

 Isutropis jnncea, Turcz ), forwarded from the Bureau of Agricul- 

 ture of West Australia, as l)eing plants supposed to be poisonous 

 to stock. 



Mr. Edgar R. Waite exhibited a lizard, Xephrur^Ls line's, De 

 Vis, received by the Australian Museum some months ago. 

 Suspecting that its characters were common to both N. hev/f< and 

 iV. platyurus, Blgr., Mr. Waite examined the type of the former 

 species, kindly lent by Mr. De Vis, when it became apparent that 

 the two descriptions applied to the same species — a conclusion in 

 accordance with the views of Messrs. Lucas and Frost, from the 

 examination of a series of specimens from Central Australia. 

 ("Report of the Horn Expedition" ii p. 116). The exhibited 

 specimen was shown to record a locality intermediate between the 

 known habitats, Queensland and South Australia, the example 

 having been obtained at Bathurst, New South Wales. 



Some Aarieties of Australian Mollusca were shown by Mr. 

 Hedley. On behalf of Mr. Whitelegge an example was exhibited 

 of r/eurobraiichcealaiiiceps, Cuvier, collected by him at Maroubra 

 Bay. Though this remarkable species, apjaarently a pelagic form, 

 was described in 1817, so little is known about it that its exact 

 locality has not been before announced. Mr. Pilsbry writing on 

 this form in the present year [Man. Conch. (1) xvi. p. 229],
