X. ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. 



" A List of the Recorded Freshwater Protozoa of 

 Queensland, with a number of new records," by C. D. 

 Gillies, B.8c. 



The paper contains an addition of 14 species to the 

 recorded freshwater Protozoa of Queensland, together with 

 a list of previously recorded forms. 



Notes and Exhibits. 



Dr. .Shirley exhibited shells from North Wes* Is., 

 collected by Miss Peberdy. They included; Atactodea 

 striata, Gmel. ; Trochus calcaratus, Souv. ; Chrysostoma 

 paradoxa, Born. ; Quoyia decollata Q. & G. ; Cerithium 

 columna, Sby. ; C. hanleyi, Sby. ; C. rubum, Martyn ; 

 C. granosum, Kien ; Clava aspera, L. ; C. vertaga, L. ; 

 Natica chinensis, Lam. ; Cyprcea Isabella, L. ; C. annulus, 

 L. ; C. caurica, L. ; C. errones, L. ; Conus spectrum, L. ; 

 Arcularia jonasi, Dunk (=nana, A. Ad.). 



Except Cerithium hanleyi, most of these shells are 

 of very extensive range. Quoyia decollata has been 

 reported from Ascension I., and Clava aspera from Mada- 

 gascar ; the rest range widely over the E. Indian Islands 

 or Western Polynesia, or both. 



Mr. C. T. White exhibited specimens of Erigeron 

 linifolius, Willd. ; E. canadensis, Linn, and Aster subulatus, 

 Michx, from the Queensland Herbarium, by permission 

 of the Govt. Botanist. The latter species, for some time 

 recorded as naturalised in Victoria and N.S.W., has pre- 

 viously gone in Queensland as a glabrous form of E. cana- 

 densis, but the normal form of that species has now ap- 

 peared in several places in Queensland, and the two when 

 seen growing together are very distinct. 



Mr. H. A. Longman exhibited the following Queens- 

 land Museum specimens : (1) A fragment of the left maxilla 

 with three abraded molars of a Diprofodon from the 

 Flinders River, near Hughenden, donated by Mr. R. Pool, 

 the locality record being of considerable interest ; (2) 

 dermal ossifications and a disarticulated cranium of 

 Trachysaurus rugosus, the parietal region showing interiorly 

 an infundibular pit for the accommodation of the epiphysial 

 diverticulum of the pineal body ; (3) a living Typhlops
