not strike it rich, however, and returning, finally made his 
home in Beechworth, Victoria, where he resided for a 
number of years. 
Once again the call of the West came to him with the 
gold fields at Coolgardie, and about 1902 he returned to 
Western Australia, and again took up his hobby of beetle 
collecting, remaining there until his death. 
Du Bouley made many fine collections of beetles and 
other insects, and at one time had one of the finest collec- 
tions of Buprestidae and Cetonidae in Australia; and also 
a magnificent collection of Carenums and other Carabidae. 
He has left his name upon the record of our insect fauna 
by the many species, both rare and beautiful, that have 
been dedicated to him, and among which are the follow-

Man-Eating SuagKs.—Mr. David G. Stead exhibited 
teeth of a great ‘‘Man-Hater,’’ or Whaler, Shark (Car- 
charias brachyurus), which had been captured in Coomba 
Bay, far up in the quiet, shallow waters of Wallis Lake. 
Two of these great and fearsome fish, measuring respec- 
tively 9ft. and 10ft. in length (and of great girth), were 
taken at the same time in hauling nets; and at this place, on 
the 20th December last, 9 fully developed foetuses, meas- 
uring about 281% inches in length (the size of an average 
one measured) were taken from each fish. 
As stated by him elsewhere, at various times, this 
shark is the one most to be feared in our waters, and the 
capture of these two large females, so far up the almost 
enclosed waters of this great shallow, coastal lake, still 
further emphasises the warning given by him, from time 
to time, regarding the species. 
The young are very savage when handled, and even 
the mature foetus, when cut out of the parent, will fre- 
quently snap at the hand of the person holding it.
