Hyaline Species of Daphnia, by Mr. Colledge. 
Mr. H. A. Longman exhibited a skin of Python

Falcunculus frontatus, the crested shrike-tit of 
Eastern Australia, taken from a tree top in N.W. 
Victoria. The nest is constructed of fine threads 
of bark hammered off eucalypts, the exterior 
being bound with filmy substance from cocoons. 
7. Mr. A. B. Walkom exhibited a number of 
specimens of a Crustacean (probably a macrurous 
decapod) obtained from the Cretaceous rocks of

examples of pictographic art of the Queensland
