 Second Supplement, continued from Vol. VI. p. 695. By C. Hedley, 

 F.L.S. Two new species, Sitala anthropophagorum and Otopoma Macgrego- 

 riae, are described and figured. It is considered that Mousson's genus Tro- 

 chonanina should be merged into Sitala. Anatomical details of several species 

 not before dissected are added. — 3) Studies in Australian Entomology. 

 No. VIL — New Genera and Species of Carabidae (including some Notes on 

 previously described Species and Synoptic Lists of Genera and Species). By 

 Thomas G. Sloane. Three genera — Notolestiis (type, Abax sulcipennis, 

 Macl.) , Setalimorpha (Feronini), and Lestianthus (Helluonini) — and thirty- 

 six species are described as new. — 4) Wood Moths : with some account of 

 their life-histories, chiefly compiled from the Notes of Mr. R. Thornton of 

 Newcastle. By W. W. Froggatt. This paper gives a general account of 

 the habits and food-plants of several species of Eudoxyla and Charagia, and 

 of Leto Stacyi. — 5) and 6) Botanical. Mr. Hedley exhibited figures of 

 Listia tasmanica, Tenison-Woods ; and the shelly tubes of Kuphus arenarius, 

 Linn., collected by Mr. Brazier on a coral reef at Florida Island , Solomon 

 Islands. In regard to Kuphus, he pointed out what little was on record con- 

 cerning it ; and visitors to the Solomons were urged to endeavour to procure 

 the animal — unknown at present — which fabricates the tubes, as its af- 

 finities were somewhat problematical. Mr. Hedley also stated that he had 

 been informed by a conchologist residing in New Zealand that Patella ker- 

 madecensis, Pilsb., had been collected at Raoul or Sunday Island by Captain 

 Fairchild and party.
