there reported that it came nearest to a West Australian

(c) POND LIFE. 
By W. E. Colledge, 
During the excursion to the Glass House Mountains, 
we did not find any good permanent pools. The creek 
and adjacent pockets Avere tested, and a few varieties of 
Rotifers were collected. Among those were Metopidia 
solidus, M. oxysternum, M. acuminata, Salpina eustala, 
Cyrlonia tuba, Polyarthra platyptera, and another not yet 
identified, but of the same species as one that was secured 
during the excursion to Goodna on 9th April, a specimen 
of which has been sent to Londpn for determination. A 
quantity of Nitella was found in the bed of the creek, and 
very few Entomostraca were taken.
