MEETINGS OF SOCIETIES. 237 



(2) "On the Incisors of Sceparnodon," by C. W. De Vis, M.A., 

 Corr. Mem. The author describes a large perfect adult upper incisor 

 with portion of the premaxilla still encasing it : also a smaller not fully 

 grown tooth with a greater extent of working surface, which is regarded 

 as a lower incisor. From the characters of these the author accordingly 

 concludes that Sceparnodon is not a synoDym of Phascolonus. The 

 specimens described are in the collection of the Queensland Museum. 



(3) " Contributions to a more exact knowledge of the Geographical 

 Distribution of Australian Batrachia, No. II. ; with description of a new 

 Cystignathoid Frog," by J. J. Fletcher, M.A., B.Sc. Some additions 

 are made to the lists previously given, several collections are recorded 

 from new inland localities, with observations on the habits and colours 

 of the living animals of several species ; and a new species of Crinia 

 from Victoria, for which the name C. Froggatti is proposed, is described 

 as new. 



(4) "Description of a new Cone from the Mauritius," by J. Brazier, 

 F.L.S. The new species described as Conus Worcesteri, has a smooth 

 shell, white beneath a dirty yellowish epidermis, variegated with four 

 purple or pinkish-brown bands flowing down here and there in flexuous 

 streaks.

Papers. — (1) "Notes on Aboriginal Stone Weapons and Imple- 

 ments (continued)," by R. Etheridge, Junr. Descriptions are given of 

 a large number of tomahawks and axes from the Collections of Sir W. 

 Macleay, Dr. J. C. Cox, the Queensland Museum, and others, including 

 some modernised axes of the Queensland Aborigines from the last- 

 named collection, made from old scrap-iron. The author also suggests a 

 tentative classification for museum exhibition purposes of the stone 

 weapons described. 



(2) "Synonomy of Helix (Hadra)gulosa, Cld," by J. Brazier, F.L.S. 



(3) "The Silurian Trilobites of New South Wales, with References 

 to those of other parts of Australia. Part i.," by R. Etheridge, Junr., 

 and John Mitchell. The authors give an epitome of our previous 

 knowledge of the Proetidce in Australia ; discuss the general question of 

 the genus ; and describe three species, two of which were previously 

 known, viz., Proetus boioningensis, Mitchell, P. Battel, E. & M., and P. 

 australis, E. & M. The characters of the three species are given at 

 length, their relations one to the other, and finally with those of other 

 countries. 



(4) " Observations on the Chloraemidae, with special reference to 

 some Australian forms," by Professor W. A. Haswell, M. A., D.Sc. 

 This paper has reference chiefly to a remarkable member of the family 

 which occurs on the Queensland coast ; but the opportunity has also 

 been taken to give some account of two other undescribed Chloraemids 

 obtained by the author in Port Jackson.
