NOTES AND EXHIBITS, 
Mr. Fletcher exhibited a number of plants collected in the 
Wagga district by Mr. J. R. Garland, and presented by him to 
the herbarium. Those of most interest to Sydney botanists 
were : — Ricinocarpus Bowmani, F.v.M., “ from the ‘ Hanging 
Rock,’ growing on the steep talus immediately under the precipi- 
tous eastern face of the mountain, and of interest as not having 
'been seen or heard of anywhere else in this neighbourhood, or 
indeed anywhere so far south ; many vigorous plants are to be met 
with at the spot referred to, but confined to a space of less than 
an acre ; flowers in September” : Cassia ereinophila, A, Cunn., 
“ flowering profusely in the scrub near the Rock Railway Station:” 
Dampiera lanceolata, F.v.M., “growing luxuriantly about the 
ballast quarries at the foot of the ‘Hanging Rock’ ; not noticed 
until this year when it was in full bloom about the end of 
September” : Grevillea Jloribunda, R.Br., “ from the ironbark 
ridges at Mimosa, between Wagga and Temora ; also on the 
< Hanging Rock’ range”: G. parvijlora, R.Br., “from the scrub 
at Mimosa; locally known as ‘pin bush’”: Ammohium alatum, 
R.Br., “from the banks of the MuiTumbidgee, near Wagga; 
blooms in October and November.” 
Mr. Fletcher also showed two living specimens of Peripatus 
Leuckarti, Sang., from Burrawang, County of Camden, a new 
locality for tliis interesting creature, though not far distant from 
the other places where all the specimens so far recorded from New 
South Wales have been found, with the exception of Mr. Olliff’s 
specimen from Cassilis. They were obtained a fortnight ago, under 
logs, and were the only specimens met with, though careful search 
was made. One of them has dark tints jjrevalent, the other has 
rusty red or brown most conspicuous; thus jiresenting the same 
considerable variation in colour as was pointed out on a previous 
occasion. 
Mr. MacDonnell read a letter from Mr. Bostock of England, 
asking for Australian species of Oribatidse, or for information 
bearing upon them.
