130 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



miles from the township it is easily accomplished. With our 

 arrival at the Imperial Hotel, at Mount Victoria, about half-past 

 six on the Monday evening, ended our trip to the Jenolan Caves. 

 As I have already occupied your attention, I fear, with too 

 many details, I will not say much about our trip on the following 

 day, one which, however, should be omitted by no visitor to the 

 district, as it gives rise to such bewildering thoughts about these 

 wonderful Blue Mountain gorges. Briefly summarized, it was a 

 flying visit to Mount Paddington and the Kanimbla Pass and 

 cave before breakfast; then the 22-mile drive from Mount 

 Victoria, via Govett's Leap — a sight the grandeur and immensity 

 of which no description I have yet read does more than partially 

 convey to the reader's mind ; and on past the " Explorers' Tree," 

 recording the gallant attempts of Messrs. Blaxland, Lawson, and 

 Wentworth to cross these mountains for the first time in May, 1813 ; 

 through Katoomba to the Wentworth Falls and Prince Regent's 

 Glen, a truly lovely spot. At Wentworth Falls station you can 

 take the afternoon train, and reach Sydney by six p.m.

* This list includes all the species of Hydroid Zoophytes hitherto recorded 

 from the coast of Victoria, and from the adjacent waters of Bass Strait. The 

 reference numbers apply to the appended list of recent publications on 

 Australian species, which includes all those of later date than the Catalogue of 

 the Australian Hydroid Zoophytes. All necessary references to earlier works 

 are given in the Catalogue, and I have not thought it desirable or useful to 

 extend this list by inserting them here. Synonyms, also, are only given where 

 they are of recent determination.
