specimens of polyzoa and foraminifera, recently dredged in 1 1 1 fathoms, 

 I2V2 miles to the east of Cape Byron, by Mr. Gerald Halligan, F.G.S. The 

 exhibit seemed to show that a reef rock was in process of formation similar 

 in character to the polyzoal limestone at Mount Gambier, S.A. — Mr. G ur- 

 li ey showed two specimens of the stridulating moth, Hecatesia fenestrata, 

 Boisd., recently captured by him at Narrabeen; and he remarked that Mr. 

 Waterhouse had also noticed it at Waverley. — Mr. Fletcher took the 

 opportunity to point out that at the Society's Meeting on March 31st, 1897, 

 he exhibited on behalf of Mr. C. T. Musson, specimens of a stridulating 

 Agarista, A. macleayi Kock (Proceedings 1897, p. 44); and that recently, 

 and quite accidentally, he had met with a much earlier record of the stridu- 

 lating habit of this species, in Trans. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, i. Proa, 

 p. XXVI. (Nov. 1863).
