CATALOGUE OF THE VICTORIAN CICADIDJE IN THE 
NATIONAL MUSEUM, MELBOURNE. 
By Howard Asliton. 
(Plate TV., Figs, b, d — h, j, k.) 
During my investigations into this group I have been afforded 
frequent opportunities for examining the collection contained in 
the National Museum, Melbourne, and, acting on the suggestion of 
the Curator, I have drawn up the following catalogue embracing 
all the Victorian species in the Museum. In the collection are a 
number of specimens determined by Walker ; also a number deter- 
mined by Coding and Froggatt, together with some of their types. 
Where there is any doubt of a species, I have followed the deter- 
minations of Distant, since he has all the material at his disposal, 
and has recently systematized the family in a thorough and admirable 
manner. Several of the species in my own collection have been 
determined by him, and, having these, I havefound occasion to differ 
a little from other workers in the family. I have to thank the Curator 
of the Zoological Department, Mr. J. A. Kershaw, for facilities 
afforded me during the examination of the collections, and for t e 
loan of several specimens. In addition to the references given here, 
may be understood in each case those of Distant s Catalogue of 190 .
