THE VICTORIAN XATURALIST. 



Sprengelia incarnata, Hypolaena, some few grasses, and Gleichenia^ 

 was made up, these materials being ample for a really beautiful 

 bunch of bush flowers. It being now nearly dark, a start was 

 made for the hotel (the Bay View) as some preferred returning by 

 the 4r.30 train, while others (including the writer of tliese notes) 

 reaiained behind, had tea, and enjoyed a few more hours of the 

 bracing air of Frankston, and spending a very pleasant evening, 

 returning by the 8.30. train. There can be no doubt that the 

 locality of Frankston offers a fine field to the collector, more 

 especially the botanical, and as the spring approaches we know of no 

 place that we could or would so confidently recommen 1 for members 

 desirous of having a successful day's outing. Birds appear to be 

 scarce, both in numbers and variety, but when it is considered that 

 indiscriminate shooting is both allowed and indulged in, the wonder 

 must be that they exist at all. Of insects, none whatever weie 

 taken, but no doubt some good Longicorns and Buprestidce 

 are to be found when the various trees and shrubs are in flower. 

 Appended is a list of the principal specimens taken, those marked 

 * being in flower at time of our visit.
