PAPERS READ. 



1. By Mr. G. B. Pritchard, entitled " Eocene Deposits at 

 Moonee Ponds." 



The author gave the locality of a recent discovery of Eocene 

 fossils near Moonee Ponds railway station, giving a list of the 

 principal specimens identified, and comparing them with the 

 species obtained in other localities. 



2. By Mr. G. B. Pritchard, entitled " On a New Zeolite 

 (Mooraboolite)." 



The author recorded the occurrence in the Moorabool valley, 

 near Maude, of a new variety of ZeoUte, which he proposed to 

 call Mooraboolite, and gave a description of it and its chemical 

 constituents, which to some extent resembled Natrolite, but the 

 relatively high percentage of potash contained undoubtedly 

 marked it as a new variety. 



3. By Mr. VV. V. Fitzgerald, F.S.Sc, communicated by Mr. R. 

 Hall, entitled " Plants New to Western Australia."
