 nabeal, F. M. Reader, 1904. 



Trigonella foenum-grgecum, L., Leguminosse ; Victoria, an occa-

Erroneous Records of Naturalized Aliens. 

 Arnoseris pusilla, Gaertn., in Journ. of Pharm., 1887, evidently 



a wrong determination for Hedypnois cretica, Willd. We 



have no evidence of A. pusilla being naturalized in Victoria. 

 Bronnis japonicus, Thunb., in Vict. Nat., vol. xxii.. p. 79 (1905), 



wrongly determined ; should be Bromus arenarius. Lab. 

 Crataegus Oxyacantha, L., in Journ. of Pharm., 1887. The plant 



is cultivated in hedges, but is not otherwise naturalized, and 



seems to die out when left to itself It may establish itself 



in the east of Victoria. 

 Galenia secunda, Sond., in Vict. Nat., vol. xix. (1902), is Galenia 



pallens, Walp. 

 Medicago turbinata, Willd., in Vict. Nat., vol. xix., p. 159 (1903), 



wrong determination ; should be Medicago hispida, Gaertn., 



var. inermis, Urb. 

 Melilotus arvensis, Wal., in Journ. of Pharm., 1887. We have no 



evidence of this plant being naturalized. 

 Pisum sativum, L., Pea, in Journ. of Pharm., 1887, is hardly a 



naturalized plant. 

 Thrinca hirta. Roth, in Journ. of Pharm., 1887, is now 



Leontodon hirtus, L. It is not yet sufficiently established to 



be considered naturalized.

(^Read lefore the Field Naturalists' Cluh of Victoria, 9th March, 1908.) 



This species occurs sparingly in the Gembrook district from 



the middle of February to the middle of March, the male insect 



emerging about a fortnight before the female, and being 



procurable in good condition until the end of February. 



The larvse, like those of allied species, are grass feeders, 

 and at Emerald, and doubtless throughout the Dandenong
