16 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



taken, viz., Upogehia sinisoni, Thotyipson, previously recorded by 

 us from Western Port, and a species of Callianassa, which we 

 believe to be undescribed. 



Of the Macrurous forms taken, those worthy of mention are 

 Betceus australis, Stimpson, taken below tide marks ; Alphceus 

 vilosus, Olivier ; Falcemon affinis, M. Edw. ; and another 

 Palsemon, apparently P. ornatus, Olivier. The ordinary shore 

 crabs were not found to be so numerous as we had previously 

 noticed them in this locality ; but Ghasmagnntlms quadridenfatus, 

 M.-Edw., Hetrograpsus octodentatus, M.-Edw., Fhilyra Icevis, 

 Bell, Cyclygrapsus punctatus, M.-Edw., Litocheira bispinosa, 

 Kinahan, and others were there in fairly large numbers. It is 

 also worthy of mention that Pinnotheres pisum was found living 

 within the shells of both Mytilus latus and Modiola australis. A 

 large number of Hermit Crabs were found in the rock-pools, 

 comprising the forms Paguristes frontalis, M.-Edw., P. suhpillosis, 

 Hend., and Eupagurics lacertostis, Hend. We also obtained a 

 number of the lower forms of Crustacea, Amphipoda, Isopoda, 

 &c., which have been handed over to Mr. O. A. Sayce, who is 

 working at these groups ; also Starfishes and Sea Urchins, which 

 have been handed over to Messrs. Mattingley and Cummins. 

 In all we obtained at least some seven species new to our 

 Victorian record. — S. W. Fulton, F. E. Grant.

Altogether 23 species. — G. Weindorfer. 



Geology. — There is not much to be said of the geology of 

 the neighbourhood, and the members of the party were too busy 

 collecting to devote much attention to it. Selwyn examined the 

 district in the early days of the colony, and nothing of much 

 importance has been published since his map, of which two 

 editions were issued. In the earlier the whole of the country 

 about our camp is coloured ' Tertiary and Modern Volcanic rock,' 

 and a note reads : — " Cliffs of hard dark Basalt with bands of 

 soft red earthy Porphyritic rock, presumably beds of Volcanic
