he had seen from this locaUty. The species occurs in Torres 

 Straits and is an extremely rare visitor in Southern Queens- 

 land. He also recorded the discovery at Caloundra, of two 

 molluscs Glycimeris hedhyi and Drwpa twbinoides (both 

 identified by Mr. C. Hedley, of the Australian Museum, 

 Sydney). These are both uncommon and had not 

 previously been recorded as occurring in Southern Queens 

 land. 



Abstract of Proceedings, 28th May, 1917. 



The Ordinary Monthly Meeting was held in the Geology 

 Lecture Theatre, in the University, at 8 p.m. 



Mr. E. H. Gurney, President, in the chair. 



The Minutes of the preceding Meeting were read and 

 confirmed. 



The President referred to the loss the Society had

 member to be killed on active service. On the motion 

 of Mr. Longman, it was decided that a letter be sent

 unearthed in the Clermont district and donated to the 

 Queensland Museum. The locality is of unusual interest. 

 The fossil was compared with a series of crania of living 

 species, and the opinion was expressed that the cranial 

 characters separating P ascolomys gillespiei from P. latifrons, 

 as demonstrated by De Vis, were as distinctive as those 

 used in distinguishing ursinus, mitchelli and tasmaniensis . 



Mr. C. T. White exhibited (1) Specimens of Eucalyptus

-for it. The exhibitor stated, however, that it was quite
