Mem. Thirteen species, chiefly from the Victorian Alps, referable, with 

 one exception, to the family Carabidae are described as new, and critical 

 remarks are offered on several previously described species. — Mr. H e die y 

 exhibited and offered some remarks on specimens of two interesting slugs 

 collected by him in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens, Vaginula Loydigi, Sim- 

 roth, and V. Hedleyi, Simr., recent additions to the molluscan fauna of 

 Australia. He also took the opportunity of pointing out that a slug lately 

 described by him as Limax queenslandica, n. sp. [Proc. Roy. Soc. Queens- 

 land, Vol. V. p. 1 50] had been determined by Dr. Simroth to be the common 

 world-wide species Agriolimax laeris, Müller. — Mr. Musson exhibited a 

 large general zoological collection from Narrabri and Tamworth, N.S.W., 

 comprising insects (Coleoptera and Lepidoptera being most conspicuously 

 represented), crustaceans [Astacopsis, Palaemon, and Apus), frogs and lizards; 

 also Permo-Carboniferous fossils from the same localities. Also three spe- 

 cimens of the interesting mollusc Cystopelta recently obtained by him near 

 Ballarat, Victoria, the genus previously having been recorded only from 

 Tasmania, and Mt. Kosciusko, N.iS.W. Also, on behalf of Mr. W. S. Dun- 

 can of Inverell, specimens of locusts [Pachytylus australis, Brunn.), of which 

 he reports that on Nov. 30th he found them in all the open country in count- 

 less millions; and of a butterfly [Pieris teutonici, Don.), of which migratory 

 swarms were in flight on 13th and 14th inst., making due east, the males 

 preponderating, on an average, perhaps, about twenty to one. — Mr. 

 Fletcher exhibited eleven living specimens of the handsome toad, Notaden 

 Bennettii, Gthr., received that morning from Trangie from Rev. J. Milne 

 Curran, F.G.S.
