Prof. R. Tare (President) in the chair. 
Exuipits.—J. G. O. Tepper, F.L.S., laid on the table a case 
of Orthoptera illustrating the family of 7ruaxalide, or helmet 
locusts ; also an Australian species of Coryphistes, which inhabits 
scrub and forest lands, feeding on the leaves of the eucalypts. 
The 7ruxalide are carnivorous and feed on isects.

ORDINARY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1895. 
Prof. R. Tare (President) in the chair. 
Exursits.—Prof. Tare exhibited specimens of J'rigonia Tatet 
(Pritchard) from the Eocene of the Moorabool Valley ; and an 
example of an undescribed species from the Miocene of the River 
Murray Plain, which he named 7. Murravica. It is allied to 
T’. Howitt, McCoy, but the radial cost are much broader than 
the interspaces and coarsely subnodulose. Also two species of 
ammonites, showing some affinity to the Cretaceous species, 
A. varicosus, of Kurope. They were given to Dr. Stirling when 
at Palmerston in 1891, as coming from near that place. Prof. 
Tare exhibited specimens of Cryptodon flexwosus, Montague, 
dredged at Port Esperance, Tasmania, by Mr. Harrison. Sub- 
sequently, November 28, 1894, Mr. Brazier communicated the 
same information to the Linnean Society, Sydney (see Proc., 
Vol ix., p. 725, 1895), and further intimated that he had col- 
- lected the species off Port Stephens, N.S.W., as early as 1874. 
The discovery of this European species in Tasmanian waters 
belongs, however, to Mr. Petterd, who submitted to the speaker 
about twelve years ago specimens taken off Brown River, on 
which I reported— Cryptodon sp., but slightly different from 
C’. flecwosus of European seas.” ‘The discovery of a closely allied 
species in the Eocene beds at Muddy Creek may opportunely be 
recorded now. The fossil species, which I name Crypropon st B
