612 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



from Lord Howe Island, distinguished from the common New- 

 South Wales form by the stouter pseudo-bulbs, the larger flowers, 

 and the lighter "colour of the flowers without the red markings 

 on the outside of the sepals ; and Anthurium Scherzerianum, 

 Schott, var. album, from Guatemala. 



Mr. Baker showed a specimen in spirit of the phosphorescent 

 fungus, Pleurotus candescent*, F.v.M., from New South Wales. 



Mr. R. Greig Smith showed cultures and micro-photographs of 

 the Bacterium described in his paper. 



Mr. Deane, on behalf of Mr. P. E. Williams, exhibited a 

 remarkable quartzite stone axe, with a hafting groove, obtained 

 from an old aboriginal burying-ground on the River Darling near 

 Wilcannia. The strong winds of the past four years had gradually 

 removed the sand to a depth of 6 feet, whereby bones, and the 

 tomahawk exhibited, were brought to light. 



Mr. Palmer exhibited a fine aboriginal grinding-stone turned 

 up by the plough on the site of an old camping-ground at Lawson, 

 Blue Mts.; in the absence of nardoo this stone may perhaps have 

 been used for crushing the capsules, or grinding the seeds of one 

 of the Eucalypts which are much sought after by the Gang Gang 

 Parr< its. Also a smaller grinding-stone and two small stone knives 

 from a cave in the same locality.
