 White, a species of Cetoniidae which had not hitherto been recorded from 

 Australia, although well-known and widely distributed in the islands of the 

 S. and S. E. Pacific. The specimen had been taken at Cairns, Queensland, 

 by Captain Wensley Peel. — Mr. Palmer exhibited (1) a young fish (Family 

 Mugilidao) from a pond at Burwood; (2) a viviparous lizard [apparently Lygo- 

 soma [Omolepicla) casuarinae] which brought forth six living young ones, three 

 on each of two consecutive days ; and (3) a remarkable Mogo or stone-axe 

 from Campbelltown. — Mr. A. J. North, F.L.S., exhibited a series of the
