Mr. Whitelegge, on behalf of the Rev. W. W. Watts, con- 

 tributed a Note on some collections of Mosses recently reported 

 upon by Dr. Brotherus and Dr. Warnstorf, resulting in 

 additions to the Moss-flora of the Colony of twelve new species, 

 and four not previously recorded. 



Mr. Hedley exhibited on behalf of Dr. T. H. May a series of 

 photographs of aboriginal carvings in stone at Bingera, near 

 Bundaberg, Queensland. 



Mr. Fred. Turner exhibited the fruit, with drawings, of the true 

 Cydonia chinensis, Thouin, the Chinese Quince, a new product 

 for Australia. The fruit was egg-shaped, measuring a little more 

 than six inches in length and fourteen inches in circumference at 

 the widest part ; and was grown by Mr. J. A. Murdoch, 

 Wahroonga, North Sydney. The tree is only four years old and 

 about four feet high, and this year it produced twelve fruits each 

 of the size of that exhibited. In its native country, China, it is 

 said to produce fruit as large as a child's head.
