OCCASIONAL NOTES. 
Y.—TURRICULA SCALARIFORMIS , TEN. -WOODS —ITS 
OCCURRENCE in NEW SOUTH WALES. 
On a recent visit to Gerringong, the Curator collected a number 
of small dead shells from between tide marks on a sandy beach. 
Among them I have detected a single, rather 
worn example of Turricula scalar i for mis, Ten. 
Woods,* * * § a species which has not been pre\iously 
recorded from this Colony, though observed in 
South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria. The 
synonomy and bibliography of it has been 
recently reviewed by Messrs. Pritchard and 
Gatliff. f 
The more prominent ribbing and small size, 
7 mm., incline the Gerringong specimen to the 
variety named Mitra legrandi by Ten. Woods. For 
the better recognition of this variety, I add an 
enlarged drawing of an authentic Tasmanian 
specimen kindly lent me by the Rev. H. D. Atkinson.

VI.— SC ALA REVOLUTA , HEDLEY— ITS OCCURRENCE 
in FIJI. 
In discussing the fauna of Funafuti, I took occasion to point 
out that the high proportion (one-sixth) of novelties described 
should be regarded rather as an indication of how little is known 
of the Pacific fauna than of any native peculiarity. My antici- 
pation that all the minute shells described as new from Funafuti 
would ultimately be found in the western continental islands is 
receiving more full and prompt confirmation than I could have 
hoped for. 
G cecum vertebrale has recently been discovered at Ouvea, 
Loyalty Islands. J And I now have the pleasure of recording 
Scala revoluta from Fiji. A specimen of the latter has been 
received by the Trustees from Mr. Allan R. McCulloch, who 
recognised the species in a parcel of sand from Suva.

VII. — PHYLLOTUEGA and CINGULARIA. 
In 1895, I described § a very peculiar plant from the Upper 
Coal-Measures at Newcastle, that appeared in some measure to 
unite the characters of the genera Pliyllotheca , Prong., and Cingu- 
laria, Weiss. The stems (or branches), stem-discs, leaves and 
leaf-sheaths, all presented the characteristic features of the former,
