are very large, about 3,5 X 2 mm., oval and well rounded at both ends. He 
also showed a pair of the Panorpid, Harpobittacus tillyardi Petersen. This 
species, which is very common round Sydney in October and November, has 
for a long time been confused with Bittacus australis Fabr., a much smaller 
and rarer species. The insect is mentioned under the latter name in Frog- 
gatt’s Entomology, and in other publications. — Dr. J. B. Cleland ex- 
hibited a silver-fish (Lepisma sp.) found alive and active in the crop ofa 
healthy turkey, together with a number of grains of wheat. — The Venom 
of the Fish, Notesthes robusta. By Leighton Kesteven, M.R.C.S., Eng., &e. 
(Communicated by A. R. McCulloch). — Tenison-Woods [Fish and Fish- 
eries of N.S. Wales, 1882, p. 48] has given a fairly accurate account of the 
symptoms following upon wounds inflicted by the spines about the head of 
the Bullrout. The opportunity of treating professionally a number of cases 
of persons suffering from such wounds, has enabled the author to confirm and 
amplify Tenison-Woods’ statements that the symptoms are not compatible 
with non-toxic wounds, but are undoubtedly venomous (contrary to the con- 
tention of Ogilby).
