white Cockatoos, Cacatua sanguinea, Gould, C. gyninopis, Sclater, and C. n. 

 sp., the latter being about the size of C. sanguinea, but with no rose or 

 yellowish tints on the crest which is altogether white, the lores with a small 

 spot rose-salmon, and the bare space round the eye comparatively as large 

 as that in C. gymnopis, the bare space above the eye narrower; Hab., Lower 

 Darling River ; and (3) the skin of a small species of Phalanger [Pseudo- 

 chirus) of a jet black colour, the belly and tip of the tail white ; this new spe- 

 cies belongs to the same section as P. Cooìdi and P. lanuginosa (vel P. pere- 

 grinus]; Hab., Bellenden Ker, Queensland, collected by Messrs. Cairn and 

 Grant for the Australian Museum. — Mr. William Neill, of the City Bank, 

 sent for exhibition 85 small fishes [Galaxias sp.) forwarded to him from Lon- 

 don. They were a sample of a quantity weighing 224 lbs taken out of 

 25 bales of wool shorn on the late Hon. E, Flood's ,,Midgeon" Station, 

 X. S.W. , and subsequently sent to England. The fishes were pumped up from 

 Lake Midgeon in the water used for w-oolwashing, and became entangled in 

 the wool. — Dr. Cox exhibited a fine specimen of a sea snake [Pelamis 

 blcolor), from lîotany Bay; a living specimen of a river limpet [Ancglus] , ob- 

 tained on VuUisneria, at Port Hacking, which he proposed to call A. Smithii; 

 and drawings of a new variety of Cypraea, from Western Australia. — Mr. 

 O g il by exhibited a living specimen of a lizard belonging to the curious genus 

 Phrynosoma, the ,, Horned Toads" of the Western United States and Mexico. 

 The present exhibit was obtained in a mine at Denver, Col., by Mr. Sydney 

 Cohen, and by him presented to the Museum. He also exhibited a lizard of 

 the genus Calotes, which he believes to be C . cristatellus, and which came 

 from N.W. New Guinea, where it was collected by Capt. Strachan, who 

 presented it to the Museum, through the medium of the Nat. Hist. Associa- 

 tion ; he remarked that so far as he can ascertain this is the first record of 

 the occurrence of the genus in New Guinea. Mr. Ogilby also exhibited the 

 jaws of a species of Myliohatis which he is unable to determine, the large 

 central teeth in the lower jaw being sub-arcuate instead of rectilineal as in 

 the other known species ; the jaws were sent to the Museum for identification 

 from the Bermagui Hiver by Mr. George Emmanuel. — Mr. Whitelegge 

 exhibited the following species of Hydroid Zoophytes from Maroubra Bay 

 obtained among and attached to seaweed washed ashore during the gale last 

 May : — Sertularia bidens, Bale, Diphasia subcarinata, Busk, Thuiaria sinuosa, 

 Bale, T. subar ticulata, Coughtrey, Aglaophenia sinuosa. Bale, and Halicornaria 

 furcata, Bale, all additions to the fauna of N. S. Wales. He also exhibited 

 five species of Polyzoa, two of which have not hitherto been recorded from 

 this part of our coasts, viz., Ascopodaria fruticosa, Hincks, Cryptozoon Wil- 

 soni, Dendy, Amathia bicornis, Tenison -Woods, A. Wilsoni, Kirkpatrick, 

 and A. convoluta, Lamx. A very beautiful si)ecimen of the genus Isis was 

 also shown from the same locality.
