ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS, 28TH APRIL, 1919. 
The ordinary monthly meeting of the Royal Society 
of Queensland was held on Monday, 28th April, at 8 p.m., 
in the Geology Lecture Theatre, University. 
Mr. H. A. Longman, President, in the Chair. 
The minutes of the previous ordinary meeting were 
read and confirmed. 
Dr. A. Sutton, C.B., C.M.G., was re-elected, and Mr. 
E. H. F. Swain was elected to ordinary membership of 
the Society. 
Mr. R. A. Wearne, B.A., was proposed for member- 
ship by Dr. Shirley and Prof. Richards. 
Dr. Shirley exhibited a shell of the Cephalopod, Sepia 
hercules Pilsbry, from Southport, which had been donated 
to the Queensland Museum by the Hon. J. G. Appel. 
Messrs. F. Smith, B.Se., F.I.C., and C..T. White ex- 
hibited specimens of Lomatia silaifolia R. Br. var. induta 
F. v. M., from the following localities :—Parish of Deongwar, 
Warwick District (W. E. Moore) ; Candle Mountain (C. T. 
White) ; Buderim Mountain (C. T. White). These extend 
our knowledge of the plant’s range. In the Proceedings 
of this Society, Vol. XXX., p. 88, the exhibitors have 
recorded the flowers of L. silaifolia as cyanophoric and now 
record that tests made for hydrocyanic acid with the flowers 
of the variety induta gave strong positive re-actions, 
though foliage leaves yielded negative results. 
Miss B. B. Taylor read a paper: ‘‘ Notes on Australian 
Chaetognatha,”’ written by Prof. T. H. Johnston and 
herself.
