Notes and Exhibits. 



Mr. H. A. Longman exhibited a portion of the fore 

 part of a fossil cranium with a fragment of tooth, received 

 from North Western Queensland, which apparently repre- 

 sented an animal quite new to Australia. Although too 

 fragmentary to be definitely allocated, some slight re- 

 semblance might be traced to the Dicynodonts of South 

 Africa.
