The following papers were tabled and taken as read : — 

 By Prof. T. H. Johnston, M.A., D.Sc, and O. W. 

 Tiegs, M.Sc. : "New and Known Sarcophagid Flies." In 

 this paper two new species are described, and a new genus 

 proposed for the reception of a previously-named species. 

 Additional locality records are given for many other species 

 belonging to this family of blowflies. 



By Prof. T. N. Johnston and G. H. Hardy: "A 

 Synonymic List of Some Described Australian Calliphorine 

 Flies." The paper records the results of an attempt to 

 elucidate the abundant synonymy which exists in regard to 

 the commonest Australian Calliphorine blowflies. 



Mr. H. A. Longman, F.L.S., exhibited (1) the skin 

 and skull of an albino wallaby, Macro pus dorsalis, donated 

 to the Queensland 3Iuseum by Mr. R. D. Wearne, 

 Biggenden; (2) a very large cuttle bone collected by him- 

 self on Stradbroke Island, the dimensions of which were: 

 Maximum length (not quite complete), 487 mrii. ; maximum 

 breadth (incomplete), 158 mm. The specimen was com- 

 pared with Pilsbry's Sepia Jierculcs, but probably 

 represents a distinct species.
