stanz in den einzelnen Muskelzellen ein sehr verschiedenes Aussehen 

 zeigt. Die verschiedenen Formen desselben habe ich in meinen Abbil- 

 dungen nach Kräften getreu gezeichnet, besonders gilt dies von den 

 Fig. 9a, 10a, IIa, 13«, 14a, und 15a, welche die Photographien 9, 10, 

 11,13, 14 und 1 5 erläutern sollen und die sich an die Nerven an- 

 setzenden Muskelfortsätze bis in die feinsten Details genau wieder- 

 geben. Ohne also etwas Besseres zu bringen, zieht Apathy meine 

 mit Aufwand von sehr viel Zeit und Mühe hergestellten Zeichnungen 

 und Photographien einfach in den Staub. 



Seine Arbeit enthält noch eine Unmasse derartiger ganz unge- 

 rechtfertigter Vorwürfe , welche alle zu widerlegen hier viel zu Aveit 

 führen würde. Das Vorgebrachte wird genügen, um die wissenschaft- 

 liche Kampfesweise Apathy's zu charakterisieren.

November 29t]i, 1893. — 1) A Thylacine of the earlier Nototherian 

 Period in Queensland. By C. W. DeVis, M.A., Corr. Mem. The occur- 

 rence of a Thylacine, for which the name Thylacinus rostralis is proposed, 

 larger than the existing species and differing from it in other expressive 

 features , is herein recorded from the Darling Downs Deposits. A number 

 of fragmentary portions of the cranium have been for some time in the 

 Queensland Museum ; but the most valuable evidence has been furnished by 

 a recent acquisition in the shape of the major part of the left side of an 

 adult skull with all the teeth except the second upper premolar in place, 

 together with the first four cervical vertebrae, — 2) A Second Note on the 

 Carenides: with descriptions of new Species. By T. G. Sloane. Nine new 

 species are described, and the opportunity of reviewing the classification of 

 the group has been taken, synoptical tables of the more important genera 

 being furnished. — 3) Additions to and Emendations in the] Reference List 

 of the Land and Freshwater Mollusca of New Zealand. By Henry Sut er. 

 (Communicated by C. Hedley, F.L.S.) In the »Reference List(f published in 

 last year's Proceedings a further acccount of several new species was pro- 

 mised. Descriptions , which will be fully illustrated, of these novelties now 

 redeem this promise. Critical notes on various other New Zealand land 

 mollusca accompany the descriptions. The existence in New Zealand of an 

 undetermined species of Gundlachia, the young of which were formerly 

 mistaken for an Ancylus , is also announced. — 4) On the Australasian 

 Gundlachia. By C. Hedley, F.L.S. Two Australian species, G. Petterdi, 

 Johnston, and G. Beddomei, Petterd, are figured and described, and the den- 

 tition of the former is also elaborated. A summary is given of the whole 

 genus , with especial reference to its discontinuous distribution , and pro- 

 bable path of migration. — 5) Description of Caecum amputatum: an un- 

 described Mollusc from Port Jackson. By C. Hedley, F.L.S. The newest 

 addition to the Port Jackson molluscan fauna , here figured and described, 

 stands nearest to C. auriailatum, de Folin, from the Mediterranean. It is the 

 first of its genus observed in extratropical Australia. — 6) Notes on the
