 because we wish to keep our Library as complete as possible. 



Mr. J. Bracebridge Wilson, of Geelong, exhibited 

 several marine specimens secured by the S.S. Lady Loch 

 on her recent trawling expedition. Mr. Wilson said : — 

 " By the kind permission of the head of the Ports and Har- 

 bours Department, a few tins and collecting jars containing 

 spirit were placed on board the Lady Loch, when about to 

 proceed on a trawling expedition to the east of Cape Schanck. 

 Captain Livingstone most readily and courteously undertook 

 to secure the preservation of any objects likely to be of 

 interest to naturalists. The tins were forwarded to me on 

 June 12th, and a rapid examination of their contents has 

 been made. A few fish, chiefly allied to the sharks and rays, 

 have been handed to Mr. A. H. S. Lucas for examination and 

 report. Three or four species of crabs were taken, none of 

 which difier from those obtained in dredging near the Heads ; 

 one Antedon (not yet determined) ; Goniocidaris tuharia ; 

 Strongylocentrotits, the common form with purple spines ; 

 a fine gi'oup of Boltenia australiensis, and an interesting 

 compound ascidian ; a fairly good specimen of the fine 

 tlabellate orange-coloured Gorgonia ; some few sponges, 

 chiefly of the coai-se chalinoid form ; one, apparently a Sube- 

 rites, will require examination. A few of the commoner 

 Hydroids occur in the collection, and about thirty species of 

 Polyzoa, as given in the appended list."
