 of Australian Lepidoptera. III. By A. J. Turner, M.D.; F.E.S. — This in- 

 stalment comprises supplementary notes on families previously treated of, 

 namely, the Syntomidae, the Notodontidae, and the Geometridae. Three

 of the President, Mr. Coleman Phillips, a visitor from New Zealand, ad- 

 dressed the Meeting in support of the views upon the subject of rabbit exter- 

 mination, which he had long advocated, and which he had explained to the 

 Society on a previous occasion (Proceedings for 1901. p. 146). The speaker 

 contended that New Zealand had undoubtedly conquered the rabbits by means 

 of ''natural enemies and natural diseases".
