June 30, 1908. The Queensland Naturalist. 43 
appeared in Hesperilla pefonii and the little Apmistus 
sunius. 
The larger Papilionidae- were noteworthy by their 
absence though this was to be expected, as it is rare to see 
any after about mid- April. 
The day-flying moth, Agarista agricola was observed 
at the Point. 
As regards Coleoptera, though hardly any were captured, 
yet from our knowledge of larval habits, several fine insects 
were noted for future work amongst this family. In 
Casuarina suherosa, indications of the splendid Stigmodera 
Ussoni (?) in larval state were abundantly evident. The 
longicorns JJracanthus triangularis in Banksia integrifolia ; 
Coptopterus cretifer in Casuarina ; Piesarthrins margindlus 
in Acacia ; and Phoracantha gigas and Tryphocharia mastersi 
in Eucalyptus. 
On the fig trees in the Wellington Point SchoolGroiinds, 
the caterpillars of three or four species of Pyrales had been 
at work rolling up leaves, but the perfect insects had nearly 
all emerged. However, as all the species have long been 
familiar to us, we were not disappointed at not obtaining 
specimens, but for the benefit of those who may not have 
had a sight of these pretty insects, some are now exhibited. 
Just before sun-down, some fine specimens of tlie blue- 
faced honey-eater — Entomyza cyanotis — visited the School 
Grounds, and by their loud and not unpleasant calls made 
themselves very much observed. 
(h) Notes on the Flora of Welliiigton Point.^ 
By Jos. Wedd. 
It is a matter for regret that our visit Was paid at an 
unsuitable time for making botanical collections, the small 
number of specimens obtained (about fifty) being by no 
means representative of the district. I had the advantage 
of living in that locality about twenty years ago, and of 
making collections throughout the year, so that I am 
acquainted with its capabilities in that respect. There are 
four good collecting grounds; (1) King Island and the beach 
providing maritime plants ; (2) The wliite gravel ridges ; 
(3) The swamps in which are found the carnivorous bladder 
worts and on the borders of which I have collected three 
species of Epacris ; and (4) some distance inland, the scrubs. 
Unfortunately, the time at our disposal would not 
allow us to visit all these ; our collections were made chiefly 
on the gravel ridges and on the border of the creek. 
Eight species of fern w'ere collected, among them being 
two Lindsaeas and a Gleichenia. This is a good locality 
for both these genera. I have collected seven Lindsaeas 
and four Gleichenias here previously.
