morning. Then we had a good look at him and let him 
go, then closed his hole, so his lordship had to hunt 
further for his food. This sounds like a fairy tale, but it 
is quite true. — (Mrs. S. Curtis, Albert River, S.Q.)

A New Rotifer.— At the October meeting of the 
Royal Society of Queensland the veteran Queensland 
authority on the Rotifer (Mr. W. R. Colledge) read a 
paper descriptive of a new species of Rotifer of the genus 
Melicerta. TJie new Rotifer was found in a pool at Rock- 
lea, near Brisbane, by Miss Bursdorff, and has been 
named by Mr. Colledge after the discoverer. It is note- 
worthy on account of its large size (not forming a pro- 
tective tube) and in its solitary, not Colonial habit.
