themselves to be handled. The mounds are of great size, one I 

 measured a few days since was 37 feet in circumference, and this 

 was by no means an exceptional case. I have seen them much 

 larger. 



NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Macleay exhibited a specimen of Dendrolagus Dorianus, 

 a new species of Tree Kangaroo from Mount Owen Stanley, New 

 Guinea, described by Mr. E. P. Ramsay at the January meeting 

 of the Society. He pointed out that the hair on the body all 

 turned the wrong way. 



Mr. Macleay also exhibited some specimens of a Moth, with a 

 fungus upon which their larvae had fed. He stated that the 

 larvae were inhabitants of portable cases, like the rest of the 

 Psychidce, to which family they no doubt belonged. The genus 

 and species — (Ecinia Scotti were described and figured by Walker 

 Scott, M.A. in his beautiful but, unfortunately, uncompleted 

 work entitled " Australian Lepidoptera " The specimens ex- 

 hibited (two females) were the only outcome of a large number of 

 the larvae collected by Sir John Hay, at Nepean Towers, some 

 months ago. 



Mr. Macleay also exhibited a very large and beautiful piece of 

 Fire-opal, brought by Mr. F. A. Powell from Queensland. 



Mr. F. B. Kyngdon exhibited some specimens of marsh-plants 

 collected by himself and Mr. Whitelegge, at Waterloo.
