and Spotted Gum (Eucaltjptiis maculata) from the Wallamba 

 River, N.S.W. Found by Messrs. Wright and MacLaren 

 and transmitted by Messrs. Allen Taylor & Co., Sydney. 

 The exhibitor drew attention to his paper " On some 

 Natural Grafts between Indigenous Trees," in the volume 

 for 1904. The " fusion" or interlacing of the tissues of the 

 two timbers is perfect. The exhibit is especially interest- 

 ing since such grafts between two different genera have 

 rarely ever been recorded, b. A specimen of a joint of 

 that form of Prickly Pear Opuntia ficus-indica which is 

 known as amyclea, in which the fruit is absolutely em- 

 bedded in the tissue, instead of being sessile on the joint 

 as usual. The fruit has ripened in this situation. This 

 teratological specimen is quite novel to the exhibitor.
