September 27th, 1893. (Schluß.) — Mr. Brazier exhibited Recluzia 

 Hargravesi ^ Cox , with the shell and animal , collected by the late Mr. W. 

 Glover , lighthouse keeper at Nelson Head ; the specimens were obtained 

 after an easterly gale at the Six-mile Beach, south of Port Stephens, in June, 

 1882. The original or type specimens were described in Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 1870, with the locality given as »found washed ashore at the mouth of the 

 Miall River, Port Stephens«, which is wrong, as they were found inside the 

 North Head of Port Stephens, on the beach, and were collected by the above- 

 named gentleman. He also showed Scutus anatinus , Don , with the lingual 

 ribbon, from Little Manly ; and from North Queensland specimens of a new 

 species of Stenothyra , an Indian genus not previously recorded from Austra- 

 lia. — Mr. Froggatt read a Note on the occurrence, and exhibited spe- 

 cimens, of the »Egyptian mealy-bug« [Icerya aegyptiacum] found by him at 

 Penshurst upon the leaves of Goodefiia ovata, and determined by Mr. W. 

 M. Maskell. In its native country this is a destructive pest in gardens. It 

 has also recently been recorded from Madras. — Mr. A. Lea exhibited a 

 fine collection of Coleoptera recently obtained by him at Forest Reefs, 

 N.S.W.
