Provisionally it is a conclusion of some interest if only that it 
adds another to the curious facts recorded in the history of the 
proceelian crocodilide. For this past member of the alligatoride, 
if such it be, the writer does not propose a generic name; his 
acquaintance with the literature of the tertiary and post-tertiary 
crocodilide, does not suffice to assure him that it can not enter 
into any known genus. To assign to it a generic name must 
be the privilege of some one better informed. The cabinet 
name, Pallimnarchus pollens, appended to it in the Queensland 
Museum, is merely one of convenience. 
EXHIBITS. 
Besides the objects introduced in illustration of the papers by 
their respective authors, Mr. J. Thorpe exhibited a chart, 
showing a copy of the register of a sclf-recording aneroid 
barometer together with the distribution of pressure over Aus- 
tralia daily for the month of October, and made several com- 
ments on the same.
