I'hr South ylusIraUan Naturalist. 
Anothe!' specimen resembled n. niaggot-like worm, 
wliicli shot out from its i)ody a proboscis almost as long as 
itself. This Xemerteaii Woj'm, m^vv fii'sf taken in South Aus- 
tralian waters, is distantly related to tin* fluke and the tape- 
worm. 
Many Ascidians or Tunicates, commonly (‘ailed ‘^sea 
squirts,” were also taken. Some of thes(‘ are solitary but 
others live in colonies, a gelatinous mass containing scores 
of separate animals arranged in sort of star or daisy pattern 
of light yellow on a pui-plish ground mass. The material of 
wdiieh their bodies is composed is closely allied to Cellulose, 
the characteristic material of plants. 
Excursion to Mr. A. A. Simpson’s Garden, Undelcarra, 
Burnside, March 22, 1924. — A large party availed themselves 
of Mr. Simpson’s kind invitation. ]Many of the trees were 
planted about 70 years ago, including hoop pine, bunya pine, 
and others. Delightful vistas were obtained from various 
vantage points, and the creek flowing through the grounds 
gave added beauty to the scene. Several species of eucalypts 
are planted including lemon scented gum (Ji. citriodora), river 
red gum {E. rostrata), red flowering gum {E. calophylla). The 
native cherry {Exocarpus cupressiformis) was groAving Avell, 
also the Norfolk Island pine. 
Mr. Simpson is a bird-lover as well as a nature-lover, and 
he has noted about 50 species of birds in bis garden. Native 
plants are cared for and a small area of natural scrub Is 
fenced off. Among the plants seen Avere Calythrix tetragomu 
Caloeephalus citreus, Astroloma Jmmifnsa, Pimelea 2 spp.y Vitfa- 
dinia australis, Goodenia amplexans, Xanthorrhea sempilana. 
Olearia ramulosa. Acacia pycnantha, WaJiIeubergia gracilis, 
Loranthus pendtdus on Eucalyptus leucoxylon and L. Exocarpi 
on L. pendidus, Hihhertia sericea, Hakca ritgosa, Melaleuca sp.,

Excursion to Hallett’s Cove, April 21, 1924.— A party of 
enthusiastic members led by Dr. C. Fenner, P.G-.S., visited 
this locality on Easter Monday. The attention of the party 
Avas first draiAm to the effect of rain and Aveather in sculp- 
turing the softer rocks in the Amlley of a small stream. 
The purple slates of Cambrian age are here covered 
with a bed of till, rock formed from the deposits of material 
lirought by glaciers and perhaps deposited from the icebergs, 
which floated away from glaciers. Indisputable evidence still 
remains in the polished and striated surfaces AA'hich have 
been preserved by being covered up during long ages and
