Seal [Ogmorhinus leptonyx Blainv.) came ashore alive at Manly Beach où 

 25th inst. , and was secured by two men. It is eleven feet in length. This 

 antarctic species so very rarely straggles so far north that the occurrence is 

 worthy of record. Mr. Wait e also exhibited young examples of the Paradise 

 Fish [Polyacanthus opercularis Linnaeus) bred by him, in Sydney, from spe- 

 cimens received from China. An account of the breeding habits of this fish 

 will be found in a recent No. of the Records of the Australian Museum 

 (VI. 1905. p. 1—4).
