CATALOGUE OF THE VICTORIAN CICADIDA IN THE 
NATIONAL MUSEUM, MELBOURNE. 
By Howard Ashton. 
(Plate IV., Figs. b, d—h, j, k.) 
During my investigations into this group T have been afforded 
frequent opportunities for examining the collection contained in 
the National Museum, Melbourne, and, acting on the suggestion of 
the Curator, I have drawn up the following catalogue embracing 
all the Victorian species in the Museum. In the collection are a 
number of specimens determined by Walker; also a number deter- 
mined by Goding and Froggatt, together with some of their types. 
Where there is any doubt of a species, I have followed the deter- 
minations of Distant, since he has all the material at his disposal, 
and has recently systematized the family in a thorough and admirable 
manner. Several of thespecies in my own collection have been 
determined by him, and, having these, I havefound occasion to differ 
a little from other workers in the family. I have to thankthe Curator 
of the Zoological Department, Mr. J. A. Kershaw, for facilities 
afforded me during the examination of the collections, and for the 
loan of several specimens. In addition to the references given here, 
may be understood in each case those of Distant’s Catalogue of 1906.
