108 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



The author gave a list with remarks on about thirty species 

 which he had collected, principally in the vicinity of Heyington 

 railway station, Toorak, and which had been determined by Dr. 

 Brotherus, who stated that three of them were new to science. 

 He also gave the names of a small collection of mosses made by 

 Mr. A. G. Campbell at King Island, Cataract Gorge (Laun- 

 ceston), and Dandenong Ranges. 



3. By Mr. J. H. Maiden, F.L.S., entitled "Descriptions of 

 two Victorian Eucalypts," communicated by Prof. W. Baldwin 

 Spencer, F.R.S. 



The author described as Eucalyjitios kitsoni a small tree 

 which had been observed by Mr. A. W. Howitt, F.G S., near 

 Foster, South Gippsland, and at Powlett Plains, Anderson's 

 Inlet, by Mr. A. E. Kitson, F.G.S. He stated that this species 

 had been labelled both E. botryoides and E. gunnii by Baron 

 von Mueller, but was not identical with either, though it might 

 possibly be a hybrid with the two species mentioned as parents. 



The second species, which he named E. neglecta, is a small 

 tree found in swampy places on the upper parts of the Living- 

 stone Creek, in the Omeo district. This also may be a hybrid of 

 E. gunnii, and has for its nearest affinities E. kitsoni, Maiden, 

 and E. aggregata, Deane and Maiden.

After the usual conversazione the meeting terminated. 



THE LATE J G. LUEHMANN, F.L.S. 



It is with deep regret we record the death, on i8th November, of 

 Mr. J. G. Luehmann, F.L.S. , Government Botanist and Curator 

 of the National Herbarium, at the age of 61, after a 

 comparatively brief illness, though he had been in indifferent 

 health for some time. Mr. Luehmann was one of the "original" 

 members of the Field Naturalists' Club, and served on the 

 committee during the first two years of its existence (1880-1 

 and 1881-2), and again in 1897-8 and 1898-9, filling the position 

 of a vice-president during the two following years, 1 899-1 900 and 

 1900-1. He was a native of Buxtende, near Hanover, in 

 Germany, and came to Victoria in 1862, when he went to the 

 Wood's Point district, then a flourishing mining centre, remaining 

 there several years. In 1867, on the resignation of Mr. E. B. 

 Heyne, secretary to the late Baron von Mueller, Mr. Luehmann 

 was offered the position, which he accepted, and he remained 

 connected with the Botanical Department until shortly before his
