Abstract of Proceedings. August 30th, 1911. — Dr. J. B. Cleland 
exhibited specimens of adults and larvae of Culex australis Erichs., (C. cru- 
cians Walk.). These had been identified, through Mr. E. E. Austen, by Mr. 
Edwards, of the British Museum. The larvae, from which some of the adults 
were hatched out, were found in shallow pools of water near the summit of 
Mount Kosciusko at a height of 600 feet in December, 1910. The pools 
were formed by the melting of patches of snow, which formed parts of their 
boundaries. Their shallowness would allow, during the day time, of sufficient 
warmth from the sun to enable development to proceed. Adults were found, 
biting during the day-time, amongst trees at a lower level (about 5000 feet) 
near the Hotel Kosciusko. This species, which is one of the earliest Austra- 
lian forms recorded, seems previously to have been taken only in Tasmania, 
and at Marysville, Victoria. It will be interesting to ascertain whether its 
habitat is restricted to high and cold districts. Its occurrence in Tasmania 
and at Kosciusko is of considerable interest, being another of the links connect- 
ing the faunas of these parts. Dr. Cleland also showed an aboriginal stone 
axe-head, picked up amongst the remains of kitchen middens and fragments 
of aboriginal bones on the slopes of a sandhill overlooking the northern end 
of Cronulla Beach, within three miles of Captain Cook’s first landing-place 
in Botany Bay. He also mentioned that, at the end of June, he had met 
with a white-bellied Sea-eagle (Haliaötus leucogaster Gm.) dwelling so close 
to Sydney as an unfrequented arm of Middle Harbour. Here it had its massive 
nest in a large tree about 30 feet from the ground on a hill-slope covered 
with trees and shrubs. From its attentions to the neighbourhood of the nest, 
this structure was probably then in use. — Mr. A. S. Le Souéf showed
