[A. S. Le Souëfj; from the East Indies), 3) JJictyocaulus vivipanis Bl., (syn. 

 StroiKjylii^ micrurus Mehlis) from the lung of a calf (Sydney); 4) Ncmaiodirus 

 filicollis Rud., (syn. Stro)>rjij1us filicollùi Kud.), from the small intestine of a 

 sheeb (Macleay River, N.S.W.), not previously recorded from Australia; and 

 5) Coccidium sp., infesting the submucosa of the small intestine of Parry's 

 Wallaby. {Mac/vpus parry i Benneit, South-Eastern Queensland). — 1 Poly- 

 morphism and Life-History in the Desmidiaceae. By G. 1. Playfair. — A 

 number of new forms are described, and the author replies to certain criticisms 

 of a former paper. Text-book and other apparently authoritative statements 

 respecting the vegetative rejiroduction of Desmids notwithstanding, it is 

 maintained that, under Australian conditions — high temperatures and lengthy 

 ])eriods of bright sunshine — in warm weather, in shallow and stagnant waters, 

 cell-division frequently takes place a second time before the nascent semieells 

 have become fully developed. When chains of immature cells arising in this 

 manner break up, the component members of the chain are not to be regarded 

 as representatives of species different from that of the mother-cells, but as 

 growth-stages or immature forms of one species. — 3) Revisionai Notes on 

 Carabidae (Coloptera). Part. IIL By T. G. Sloane. — The tribes Oodini, 

 Cìdacniini, and Sphod ri nij as represented in Australia, are reviewed; and the 

 Australian genera of these tribes, as well as the species of every genus found 

 in Australia, are tabulated. S}nonymy is dealt with; and six species are des- 

 cribed as new [Chlaenius. 1 sp.; Anatrichis, 1 sp.; Coptocarpus, 2 spp.; Pla- 

 fynus, 2 spp.). Certain characters not hitherto deemed of importance in 

 classification, are discussed.
