European species, including the European blowfly (Musca 
vomitoria). This is the first record of this species for Aus- 
tralia. J. G. O. Tepper, F.L.S., gave an interesting ac- 
count of the growth, development, and nature of the gadfly, 
and exhibited a very prolific plant of the Umbelliferous order^ 
probably Ferula, growing near Adelaide.
