Mr. Péringuey stated that the discussion on the fossil horns at the 
last meeting had led to the discovery of the place where they were. 
found, viz,—at the junction of the Orange and Modder Rivers. 
The horns were about twelve and a half feet span and must belong 
to the tertiary period. 
Mr. Péringuey exhibited three cases illustrating some important 
facts in parasitism in the animal world : these facts were the results 
of discoveries of his own. 
He also exhibited the cocoon of a large dung-beetle “ Heliocopris’” 
which he believed to be a unique example. 
Dr. Marloth exhibited a specimen of Boletus Bovinus, which is 
eatable, found in the woods about Newlands. He stated that besides 
the common mushroom there are two other eatable kinds fouud here 
occasionally, one other had recently been found near the Round 
House. — 
Mr. Péringuey thought the specimen was a large one of Boletus 
edulis. 
Dr. Gill explained the method he had adopted for solving simul- 
taneously the equations of condition resulting from the triangulation 
of the Victoria Comparison Stars in 1890. 
Dr. Muir thought the accuracy finally obtained was very remark- 
able, and must be apparent to every one. 
‘Mr. Finlay read a note on an Occultation observed at Bloemfontein 
by Mr. R. E. Brounger. 
The Longitude from it could not be considered final owing to there 
not being any correction to the moon’s tabular place on the date yet 
available.
