The South Australian Naturalist. ^ 
( Lobopteni hahnaturma) were also collected. Mosquitos 
were plentiful and larvae wej-e noticed breeding in salt satu- 
rated pools of water on the t'ocks. 
Fish were abundant, the x>^'bieipal ones caught being 
whiting, schnappp]’, snook, and rock cod. In I^ort Lincoln 
rock cod are frequently spoken of as ‘^(himniins, ” after a 
station on the West Coast railway, indicating that not until 
the fish are sent as far out as Cunnnins are they appreciated 
as an article of diet. Several other fish are spoken of as 
“Yeelannads. Since Yeelanna is further away from Lincoln, 
the reason for the name can be explained. 
In all, about 450 specimens of insects were taken, besides 
a number of lizards and other creatures. Shags were seen 
to be very abundant, every rocky islet lacing crowded with 
them, wkile seagulls followed the boat in large flocks almost 
all the time. 
PLANT SURVEY. 
Members of the sub-committee met on April 30th and 
began the work of classifying the specimens already sent in. 
About 300 specimens were arranged and put in their respec- 
tive boxes, but much work remains to l>e done in labelling 
and fully indexing each specimen. In addition to the collec- 
tions noted in onv last mimher, the following parcels were 
received : 
(1) From Mr. J. A. Hogan, 9 specimens from Morialta. 
(2) From Yorke Valley School, Y.P., 27 specimens. 
(3) From Mount Barker High School (Mr. J. E. Smith), 
166 specimens. 
(4) From Minnie Downs Station, near Birdsvillo, 24 spe- 
cimens. 
Several parcels await classification and indexing, etc , 
and the suh-comraittee will be glad of further assistance. 
Other parcels have been received from Miss A. Adcock, 
Inman Valley School (5 species from Port Vincent), Mr. R. 
C. Smith, Modhury (5 specimens from Modbury). 
Two further parcels from Mr. L. Reese, Minnie Downs 
Station, via Marree. In one parcel a new species of Lepi- 
dium has been reported by Mr,' J. M. Black, and a sx:>ecimen. 
of Psoralen cinerea is the first recorded specimen for South 
Australia.
