The females resemble the figure of Saussure’s Blatta Conloniana 
(Temn. pennsylvanica, Deg.) very much in outline, but differ 
much in size and detail. A female specimen from “ Victoria” 
was also previously presented by C. French, F.L.S., and is in the 
collection of the S.A. Museum.

In the above paper it was mentioned that the reported occur- 
rence of this European species in Australia required confirmation. 
In February last several specimens were received from Dr. 
Stirling, F.R.S., and Mr. Geo. Bednall respectively. These were 
captured in dwellings in the city of Adelaide, and agree perfectly 
with the descriptions. They were no doubt introduced by means 
of the shipping.
