 p. 10. This species, taken by the "Challenger" between 

 Api and Cape York, cannot perhaps strictly be counted as 

 Australian, but the interesting identification by Dr. Angelo 

 Senna is worth bringing under the notice of English readers. 

 The name Orio oxyrhingus, Prestandrea, was mentioned in 

 advance by Cocco, without description The genus Orio 

 falls to the earlier Oxycephalus, but in Streetsia the specific 

 name oxyrhingus has priority and should be adopted. 

 Here it will be convenient to insert a notice of captures 

 recorded by Mr. O. A. Sayce, in the Victorian Naturalist, xviii., 

 No. 10, pp, 151-154, Feb. 6, 1902, under the heading " Dredging 

 in Port Philip." At p. 181, he writes : — "Amphipoda — Amaryllis 

 macrophthahnus, very common ; Fhoxocephalas bassi, Moera 

 ruhromacnlata, Liljeborgia hasioelli, several specimens of a new 

 species of the genus Iphiplateia, and also Icilius australis. The 

 two latter genera are remarkable in being much flattened and 

 not compressed from side to side as nearly all the Ami)hipods 

 are ; the antennae also of Iphiplateia are i)ecuiiar. We spent the 

 night lying comfortably off Sorrento, and from the shore in the 

 morning we collected .some sandhoppers, which I find belong to 

 a new species of Orchestia."
