each forewing, measuring 5x2 mm. (Sydney; September), and 

 2 X 1 mm.(Sydney; October). (2) A gynandromorphous specimen 

 of Troides priamus pronomous{C. York; February), in which the 

 body and the right wings are female, and the left wings male and 

 female. (3) A gynandromorphous specimen of Fapilio aegeus 

 ormenus{ Darnley Island; June), in which the wings, both above 

 and beneath, show irregular development of the male and female 

 pattern. (4) Eurycus cre«sirfa( Kuranda; June), in which veins 5 

 and 7 of the left hind wing, instead of being 2|mm. apart, as in the 

 right hindwing, approach one another and fuse for about 1 mm., 

 and then separate. (5) Two abnormal neurations in Bdenois 

 Java teutonia; a male(Sydney; December), in which, on both 

 forevvings, veins 9 and 11 join one another, and run together to 

 the apex; and a female(Sydney; December), in which vein 11 of 

 the forewings fails to reach vein 2, as is usual. (6) Euplcea Syl- 

 vester, male(Cape York; April), veins 9 and 10 in the right fore- 

 wing, instead of being independent, are fused together for the 

 greater part of their length, and only separate just before reach- 

 ing the costa : in the left forewing, these same veins arise inde- 

 pendently, but, at about half their length, fuse for about 2 mm. 

 (7) Junonia vellida (Lord Howe Island; February), in which, 

 though the right side is normal, the cell of the left forewing is 

 closed by a stout vein, and beyond this a second smaller closed 

 cell has been formed. 



Mr. Fred Turner exhibited a specimen of Glyceria fordeana 

 F.V.M., collected near Blacktown, but the circumstance was re- 

 garded as quite accidental, the seed no doubt having been brought 

 from the western country, in railway trucks that conveyed 

 sheep to the Riverstone meat- works. This western grass has been 

 found by Mr. Turner near Lake Urana, but it does not seem to 

 grow naturally nearer the coast. It is fairly common on Pevensey 

 Station, west of Hay, on the Lower Murrumbidgee, also on the 

 Lachlan, and common on land liable to inundation in the Darling 

 River country. Mrs. H. Forde discovered this grass on the 

 Lower Darling in 1865, and Baron von Mueller graciously named 

 the species after that estimable lady who, under very great diffi-
