PAPER. 



By Mr. C. Daley, M.A., F.L.S.. entitled " The Victorian 

 Grampians." 



This took the form of a lecturette descriptive of a fine series 

 of lantern views depicting some of the scenic wonders of the 

 Grampians. Some of the weathering of the sandstone was 

 most remarkable, and for fantastic shapes will compare favour- 

 ably with occurrences in other parts of the world. 



NATUR.\L }IISTORY NOTE. 



Mr. F. Chapman, A.L.S., said that one of our commonest 

 fossils is the tooth of the shark hitherto known as Oxyrhina 

 hastalis, Ag. This must in future be known as Isiiriis liasfalis, 

 the name Oxyrhina ha\ing been found to be preoccupied by 

 a genus of dipterous insects.
