leaves of a species of Lomatia now exported in bundles to Germany, for de- 

 corative purposes, when dried. — Mr. Froggatt exhibited a named collec- 

 tion of typical Australian and Tasmanian Bees in illustration of Prof. Cocke- 

 rell's papers. Also, for Mr. W. B. Gurney, specimens of a large Lecanid 

 Scale, Lecanium berberis, a European scale of the grape vine, recorded some 

 years ago in Victoria, but only noticed within the last year in the vineyards 

 of New South Wales. As it is a most prolific species, it may become a very 

 serious pest, if neglected. — 1) Australian Bees. No.i. A new Species of 

 Crocisa, with a List of the Australian Species of the Genus. By T. Ü. A. 

 Cockerell. (Communicated by W. W. Froggatt, F.L.S.). — A new spe- 

 cies from West Australia is described. Twelve species, previously described, 

 are recognised. Two species attributed to Australia are excluded, Amboina 

 being their correct habitat. — 2) A small Collection of Bees from Tasmania. 

 By T. D. A. Cockerell. (Communicated by W. W. Froggatt, F.L.S.). 

 — Thirty-seven species are known from Tasmania, including two described 

 as new in this paper. Although the list is small, Tasmania is evidently much 

 richer in bees than New Zealand; and more systematic collecting and obser- 

 vation are desirable. — 3) Synonymical Notes on some recently described 

 Australian Cicadidae. By W. L. Distant. (Communicated by W. W. 

 Froggatt, F.L.S.). — Synonymical Notes on five species recently described 

 as new, by Mr. H. Ashton, are recorded. — 4) Revision of the Australian 

 Curculionidae belonging to the Subfamily Cryptorhynchides. Part xi. 

 By A. M. Le a, F.E.S. — This part deals with an interesting group of small, 

 and usually highly polished weevils, rather sparsely represented in Australia, 

 but abundantly in New Guinea and the Malay Archipelago. The abdomen 

 and hind legs of some of the species are very peculiar. Five genera (one 

 new) are noted or described, and fourteen species (five new).
