1259 
Mr. Skuse exhibited a complete collection of Dipterou.s Insects 
— Sciaridse and Mycetophilidte — described by him in his paper at 
this and a pi’evious meeting. 
Ml’. OllifF exhibited the Butterflies alluded to in his paper on 
Variation of Colour. 
The President exhibited the pouch of a specimen of Dasyurus 
viverrinus, which he had received from Mr. Kater, containing 
eight young ones. 
The following postscript to Professor Hutton’s paper “Notes on 
the Mueller Glacier, N.Z.,” which arrived too late to be inserted 
at the end of the paper {antea, p. 429), was read on behalf of the 
author : — 
“ Since my paper was read another important change has taken 
place in the terminal face of the glacier. The Hooker River now 
disappears under the ice of the Mueller Glacier just south of the 
ice-cliffs. It runs down a deep ice-funnel more than 150 feet deep, 
and re-appears again at the outlet of the Mueller Glacier ; thus 
proving the correctness of my conjecture that the ice of the glacier 
descended below the level of the Hooker Valley. Inconsequence 
of this change there is now an uninterrupted road from the 
Hermitage to Mt. Cook (July, 1888).”
