9) Botanical. — 10) last of Mollusca collected at Green Point, Watson's 

 Bay, by A. U. Henn, F. L. S., with Descriptions of new Species. By John 

 Brazier, F.L.S. , C.M.Z.S. The specimens on which this list is based (in 

 number 1365, representing 154 species) were contained in a discarded bottle 

 found in a rock pool accessible only at very low tides. A genus new to 

 Australia and several new species are recorded. — 11) On a new Patella 

 said to have been found at the Kermadec Islands. By John Brazier, F.L.S., 

 C.M.Z.S. — 12) Botanical. — Mr. Brazier exhibited the large Patella 

 mentioned in his paper, and pointed out that its habitat was not the Ker- 

 madec Islands but South Africa. Mr. H. A. Pilsbry's specific name kerma- 

 decensis being therefore a misnomer , he proposed to rename the species P. 

 Pilsbryi, Brazier. Also a magnificent new Cone, Conns pulcherrimus, Brazier, 

 31/2 inches long, acuminated at both ends, dotted and reticulated with white 

 and light yellow, deeply and spirally sulcated at the base ; spire with 1 5 whorls, 

 sulcated at the sutures and smooth below. From Tanna, New Hebrides, 

 found on the beach with other mollusca, thrown up after a sub-marine vol- 

 canic eruption in 1878. — Mr. H e die y showed samples of young oysters 

 from Vaucluse Bay destroyed by the operations of a boring mollusc, Ricinula 

 marginatra^ Blainv., together with examples of the latter ; and he communi- 

 cated a Note on the subject which will be given in extenso in the Proceedings. 

 — Mr. Froggatt showed specimens of the beetles referred to in his paper, 

 and of adult females of a destructive Floridan Coccid, Icerya rosae, Riley and 

 Howard , from the vicinity of Sydney, respecting which he communicated a 

 note which will appear in the Proceedings. — Mr. E. R. Wait e exhibited a 

 very young example (80 mm long) of Hemisphaeriodon gerrardii, Gray, and he 

 pointed out the changes in colour which take place by the time the adult stage 

 is reached. The species in New South Wales has been recorded only from the 

 Northern River Districts; the specimen exhibited was from theKurrajong.
