Professor Tate called the attention of the Meeting to a new 
Marsupial animal recently received at the Adelaide Museum from 
Alice Springs, Central Australia, and of which a detailed account 
by Mr. Zietz of the S. A . Museum, will shortly be given The spe- 
cimen had been sun-dried and salted, and therefore was not in 
first-rate condition, but from such observation as was possible at 
the time the following characters were determinable. In appear- 
ance the animal somewhat resembles the Cape-mole ( Chrysochloris J', 
its teeth and fore-limbs indicate that it is insectivorous and a 
burrower, and though no marsupial bones were observed in a 
cursory examination, the marsupial characters of the creature 
were shown by the presence of marginal folds bounding the 
lactiferous surface, in which, and in other characters also, is 
implied some affinity to the Monotremes. The animal is evidently 
a rare one, as it was only the second specimen known, on the 
testimony of the Vfiacks, during sixteen years. 
In reference to Dr. VVoolls’ paper Professor Tate pointed out 
that in it South Australia had not been credited with any members 
of the Lemnaceye, whereas most of the species referred to had 
already been recorded from that colony. 
Mr. Whitelegge exhibited specimens of ^ledusac — Aurelia 
ccerulea {?) — from Mossman’s Bay, killed in a saturated solution of 
alum, .showing the excellent results of that mode of preservation.
