 "Code des Couleurs a l'usage des Naturalistes," etc. (1908) and 

 also of Scopoli's " Introductio ad Historiam Naturalem sistens 

 Genera Lapidum, Plantarum, et Animalium hactenus detecta,"

Mr. North exhibited eight eggs of the Great Bower-bird,. 

 Chlamydodera nuchalis Jardine & Selby, to show the variation 

 in colour, and in the character of their markings. 



Mr. Fred. Turner exhibited and offered some observations on 

 Hordeum (Critho) cegiceras Royle, the curious Nepal Barley, 

 grown in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens in 1878, where the grain 

 ripened in about nine weeks from the time of sowing the seed. 

 From numerous inquiries made he could hear of no previous 

 record of this economic plant being cultivated in Australia.
