NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 
Mr. Steel exhibited a vivarium containing six or eight speci- 
mens of the N.S.W. Peripatus with their progeny, about thirty- 
six young, born within the past fortnight, after the mothers had 
been in captivity for about 10 months. The exhibitor stated 
that he had had the pleasure of witnessing the natural birth of 
numbers of these young. In the same vivarium was a young 
Peripatus, the survivor of a number born 10 months ago in 
captivity. Mr. Steel also showed the nodule from Macdonnell 
Ranges exhibited at last meeting, which had been identified by 
Mr. Cooksey, of the Australian Museum, as an obsidian bomb; 
and a little volcanic bomb from one of the small extinct volcanoes 
near Auckland, N.Z., where they are common, of all sizes. 
Messrs. Maiden and Baker exhibited a series of botanical 
specimens in illustration of their papers. 
Dr. Broom sent for exhibition specimens of the bone breccia 
from Taralga, with the lower jaws of the fossil Marsupials 
described by him, in situ. 
Mr. Hamilton sent for exhibition a series of fresh leaves of a 
number of plants in illustration of his paper.
