(arent se PREF AIC E.. For many years I have had in contemplation the publishing of a reliable list of the Australian Butterflies known to science, embracing the full synonymy of and reference to each species, and have been steadily accumulating the material necessary to the fulfilment of this object. Want of time, however, but more espe- cially the difficulty of reference to the mass of literature requiring to be consulted, through the former paucity of entomological works in the colonies (a want that has, however, of more recent years been gradually surmounted by the very considerable-development of the various local museum scientific libraries), has hitherto proved a bar to my intention. I now feel that I may with confidence make available to fellow- workers in this branch of zoology the benefit.of over twenty years’. study of the subject in Queensland and of some experience in other of the colonies, and supply a want that I am sure has been felt. The only attempt of the kind is the catalogue published some years since by Mr. Geo. Masters, then of the Australian Museum, Sydney, and this was far from being a complete work upon the subject. | | It is now thirteen years since the admirable work of Mr. W. F. Kirby was completed by the publication of his ‘Supplement to the Synonymic Catalogue of the Diurnal Lepidoptera of the World” ; and since then many new species have been described, and many others identified as Australian, not before known to occur in this country ; it is fully time, therefore, that our known species should be brought up to date, and the work of more recent authors added to that of those already catalogued, and the embodiment of the species of so well defined a region as the Australian continent secured in one list. I only regret that it is out of my power at the present time to extend my present publication to a full descriptive work on the subject, and make use of the mass of observations that has accumu- lated in my notebooks upon the life-history of many of the species. This must, however, stand over for a future time. It is, I suppose, ineumbent upon me to offer some remark upon the reason that induces me to adhere to the older arrangement in position of the families, in preference to that adopted by almost aig! gas PREFACE. every recent author. I do not, however, intend to enter into an argument here upon the most correct order in which to place them ; it will be sufficient for me to say that in following the system that has been familiar to me from childhood I have carefully considered the reasons advanced by various authors in support of the newer arrangement, and my mind has failed to be convinced of a sufficient cause to justify the change. With the genera I have interfered very little; I have in many instances preferred to retain names which, although not claiming precedence by priority of date, have become so familiar by long use as to make it inexpedient in my opinion to discard them, Especially with regard to the Hrsprrip® is the arrangement of the genera provisional. I have been unable to refer to the recent work of Mabille,* Speyer,t and Plotzt in the diagnosing of this family. I declare myself an uncompromising opponent of the species makers, and there are many names still in my list that I felt at the time strongly tempted to sink as synonyms, and some more that I feel convinced will have to be struck out in the future and treated as varietal forms only. A number of species—more especially amongst the Hesper1pm®—to descriptions of which I have been unable to refer, will doubtless prove to be ones that I have since described, so that the total number of species will probably bear considerable reduction. I cannot avoid here remarking that I think the practice of hastily describing as a new species an insect that the author has seen but a single example of, possessing no local knowledge of the fauna from whence it is derived, is much to be deprecated, as calculated to simply cumber the literature and render the identification of the species troublesome and complicated, conse- quently retarding rather than advancing the interests of science. But still worse is it when persons entirely ignorant of the literature of the subject, from a mere desire to have their names appear in type, recklessly publish descriptions of alleged new species, regardless of the work of a century, without the possibility of knowing whether the specimen is already described or not; of such it is to be deplored. we are unhappily not free. In giving the localities of the various species in my catalogue, it will be observed that I refer in almost every instance to the * Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1877. + Stett. Ent, Zeit. 1878, t Stett, Ent, Zeit, 1879, PREFACE. 1X, coast line. It is a peculiarity of our Lepidopterous (Rhopalocera) fauna that it is almost entirely restricted to the coast country ; a very few species, comparatively speaking, frequenting the country beyond the Dividing Range, say 100 miles from the sea, and I do not know of a single species that is not found within fifty miles of the sea. It will be apparent from the context that I limit my Australian region to the continent of Australia, the island of Tasmania, and a few islands in Torres Straits adjacent to the mainland. I give a complete Bibliography, and I think it will be found that very few, if any, works containing notices of our fauna have been omitted. Many works are still inaccessible to me, but these comprise almost exclusively European periodicals containing but scattered references, and to but a few species. The species which are reputed to be Australian, but in support of which the evidence is not conclusive, I include in a list, together with those known to have been located as Australian by mistake, at the end.

UPpPERSIDE.—Primaries : Costa narrowly margined; outer border wider, regular, its inner edge quite straight; central white patch nearly triangular, wide on hinder margin reaching to and bordering median vein to just beyond end of cell. Secondaries; Base narrowly * )plue; a broad transverse band of pure white from border to border widest at costa; a wide band of blue; outer border margined with black, widest towards anal angle, the inside edge being dentated. UNDERSIDE.—Primaries ; Costa and outer margin broadly black, within which, from base to apex, continued towards but not quite reaching hinder angle, is a band of metallic green; rest of wing pure white Secondaries: Base black, @vithin which is a band of metallic green ; a broad transverse band of pure white from border to border, widest at costa; a narrow band of black, followed by a wide band of metallic green, within which is a row of black oblong spots between the nervules; a sub-marginal narrow black band. ? UPPERSIDE.—-Primaries: Costal and outer borders extremely widely margined with black, nearly filling the cell; base suffused with metallic blue; rest of wing white. Secondaries: Slight suffusion of blue at base; a transverse moderately wide white band; the whole of the rest of wing black, the black area being more or less suffused with metallic blue from its inner edge. UNDERSIDE as in 6. Fringe of both wings in both sexes white, inter- sected with black at termination of nervules. ana and abdomen, above blue, beneath white. 3,33mm.; 2, 40mm. Fab. Cardwell, Cairns. Coll.: Miskin. This species is very close to D. Sebe, and, indeed, on the underside there is but little difference except in ‘the more brilliant tint and greater development of the metallic green parts, and the greater length of the internervule black spots. On the upper side, however, the distinction is better defined, in the S by the difference of colour and the much larger and more sharply expressed area of white in both wings, and» the broad blue band in'secondaries in this species. The 2 Serapis is distinguished by the blue area at base of both wings, and absence of black basal band of secondaries, The species is, moreover, consistently a smaller one ; from observations of numerous examples from the localities named, I find no perceptible variation. Specimens from Cape York and New Guinea of D. Seba I have found to be tolerably stable in their appearance. 3. D. Syrius, Wisk., Proc. L. Soc. N.S.W. ser. 2, | Cape York.

Secondaries: With the base blue ; outer area broadly blue; intermediate space pure white; outer border narrowly and distinctly margined with black. UNDERSIDE.—Primaries: The whole of base, the costa broadly, outer border moderately margined with jet black; a sub-marginal outer row of white points, within the black; rest of wing white ; an almost obsolete outer marginal fine white irregular line. Secondaries : Base, and a very wide “outer marginal band, the imner edge of which describes a slightly concave line from apical angle to some distance up abdominal margin, jet black; central portion from border to border but very much wider on costa, pure white; a submarginal row of triangular white spots, from anal angle to apical, and above this a parallel row of metallic green, smaller lunular marks, both within the black band; a very indistinct outer marginal broken ‘white line; median first branch prolonged into a short tail, black tipped with white. Q UPpprERsIDE.—Primaries: Base extending to end of cell, not quite touching costa, broadly light metallic blue ; costa narrowly to end of cell, then very broadly to apex, black; outer border broadly black ; rest of wing white. Secondaries: Outer border broadly black ; from abdominal margin above the black border broadly, but narrowing to a point when it reaches inner edge of black band at apex, light shining blue ; rest of wing white.

This exquisite little species was recently captured by the Museum collector (Mr. J. C. Wilde), at Cairns. It is intermediate between Taygetus (Feld.) and Aleuas (Feld.), the blue being paler and more brilliant than in the former, but not nearly so light : as in the latter ; the underside differs most completely from both.

Distant and de Niceville, I have little doubt this, with Phocides, Fab., and Areca, Veld., all represent one rather variable species. In one specimen I have, from Ceylon, the blue in apical region of secondaries | is restricted to a mere marginal line, only just perceptible ; in a Cape York example the blue patch is as broad as long, and nearly touches apical angle, the underside of both being exactly alike, and nearly as dark as in Horsefield’s figure. The development of the white area in secondaries of @, and the lighter or darker shading of the under- side, is so variable as to be quite unreliable for specific distinction.

Wildei, nu. sp. 3 Upprrsipe.—Light, slightly lilacine, blue; outer borders of both wings somewhat narrowly, but distinctly, margined with black ; costal borders of primaries suffused with black; abdominal border of secondaries light brown. UNDERSIDE.—Silvery white, with light greyish brown borders, short bands and spots. Primaries: Costa bordered somewhat narrowly ; outer border the same, with darker spots in it ; a sub-basal spot, a larger central one, and an elongate one beyond, all within cell; a sub-apical diagonal band of four spots; two round spots, one above the other, towards hinder angle, well in from outer border ; most of the spots showing a ring of white by reason of a slight greyish area surrounding them. Secondaries: The spots rather less pronounced than in primaries ; some brown suffusion at base; a sub-basal row of three spots; two larger beyond, the upper and largest almost touching costa; a circular row just beyond the last from costa to abdominal margin, rather indistinct ; another circular row from near apex, where it commences with a long oblong patch, the size of the spots gradually decreasing, some little distance from and continuing nearly parallel with outer border to some distance up abdominal margin; outer margin increasing in width as it approaches anal angle, and then narrowing off again to about halfway up abdominal margin is bordered with light grey-brown, but not sharply defined ; inside this border a sub-marginal line of crescent-shaped marks ; a round black spot at anal angle ; above this a white sub-marginal line extending some little distance up abdominal margin. 9 UpprrrsipE.—Primaries : Base, costal and outer margins widely black; hind margin narrowly black; rest of wing white; base slightly suffused with blue. Secondaries: Base black, shghtly suffused with blue, costa narrowly black ; outer margin black, widest at anal angle, the black extending into the wing along the veins ; rest of wing white. UNDERSIDE.—As in 6. Thorax and abdomen, both sexes, above black, beneath light grey. Ex.: 6 40mm.; ¢ 38 mm. Hab.: Cairns. Coll. : Queensland Museum. This remarkably characteristic species is represented by a single specimen of each sex, recently captured by the Museum collector (Mr. Wilde) at Cairns, both in a rather worn and broken condition. That such a conspicuously distinct insect as this should have been hitherto unknown shows how much has yet to be done before a thorough knowledge of our Rhopalocerous fauna has been achieved.

Hab.: Herberton. A. speci- men of the 2, collected by Mr. Wilde. H. Ignita, Leach. Hab.: Mackay (Turner), H. Apollo, n. sp. UPpPERSIDE,—Wholly bright ferruginous; primaries with black margina band commencing from about middle of costa, increasing in width towards apex, the whole area of which is widely black, and continued less widely quite to hinder angle. UNDERSIDE. —Primaries: Light chestnut, scarlet at base ; a light metallic blue longitudinal streak below and bordering costal vein to about half the length of wing from base; a small blue spot within and towards end of cell. Secondaries: Same colour, the scarlet at base extending well into cell, and above and beyond extremity of cell to outer border; two white spots between costal and sub-costal veins, near base ; a white patch at apex; two white spots within cell, the outer one forming a short band terminating cell, each spot margined with silvery blue; from abdominal border near base two short transverse bands inwardly of scarlet, bordered on each side with a fine black line and then with silvery blue; another similar short band between the second and third median branches; between this and outer border an irregular transverse curved band from abdominal margin reaching to scarlet sub-apical area, bordered in same manner as last described, the silvery blue sometimes developing into triangular spots; an outer sub-marginal line of silvery blue, and beyond a narrow band of scarlet, surmounted by a line of black. Thorax above and beneath dark brown. Ex.: 45mm. Hab.: Herbert River. Coll.: Turner. The specimen—probably a 92 —from which the above description wag made is in the possession of Mr. R. KE. Turner, of Mackay, but is in so exceedingly mutilated a condition, being devoid of head and abdomen, and much rubbed, as to be only just capable of being pro- visionally described ; it has, in fact, been preserved by being pressed in a book. Enough, however, remains to show that the finest Australian species of this beautiful genus has hitherto escaped discovery. It approaches somewhat to Chrysanthis, Feld. Ogyris Oroetes, Hew., 2. Hab.: Mackay (Turner). Hesperilla Halyzia, Hew., 2. Hab.: Herberton (Wilde). — H. Senta, n. sp. 2. UpprrsipE.—Light dull brown, darkest at base, with sub-diaphanous spots. Primaries: A series of four elongate spots transversely from costa, near apex, the lower being the smallest, and nearly round; a mid-costal one small; two at termination of cell; two others a little below and beyond the last; one between cell and sub-median, about half-way from base. Secondaries: A large discal spot; a curved series of six, nearly parallel with, and not far from, outer border, the apical one being much the largest, and the fourth and fifth larger than the remaining ones, CARED Ra eeteer than upperside, the spots as above, but somewhat arger. Thorax and abdomen, above, black ; beneath, light brown. Ex.: 31mm. MHab.: Herberton. Coll.: Queensland Museum. This is another species discovered by the Museum collector (Mr. Wilde) in the Cairns district. The specimen is somewhat worn, but is in sufficiently good condition to permit of its being readily described, Its nearest ally is H.

EE seo tage The following further notes are necessitated through my having overlooked a paper of Mr. Butler’s in the Ann. and Mag. N. H. on some Australian species, which somewhat affects the synonymy in a few cases in my catalogue :— LYCANIDA. Lampides Palemon, Cr. (p. 83). Butler, A. and M. N. H. (5) ix. p. 85 (1882). Melbourne. I had regarded this as a reputed species only, but as this is the second recorded instance of its occurrence in Australia, it must be now included in the list. HESPERITD ZA. Page 80. SRS ele Flammeata, Butl. (Zel. F), A. and N. H. (5) ix. p. 85 (1882). This is, I think, undoubtedly = H. Donnysa ; the distinctions are too. triv ial, especially being drawn from a single example of the former. Paco 81—H. Eelipsis, Butl. (fel. #.) 3, A. and M. N. H. (5) ix. p. 86 (1882). This is = Atromacula (mihi), which latter name will, of course, have to | sink, Page 81.—H. Sonmpaete, Butl. (Tel. OC.) 6, A. and M. N. H. (5) ix. p. 87 (1882). This is = Scepticalis, Rosen., which name also gives way. Page 82.—Taractrocera Papyria, Bois. (Hesp. P.) Butler, A. and M. N. H. (5) ix. p. 87 (1882). Melbourne. It is possible that my Apaustus Minimus (p. 77) may be identical with the species intended by Bois.; it is certainly the only insect with which I am acquainted that will answer to his description—a rather crude one, only remotely even giving a clue to its size. If this should prove to be the case, it cannot remain in the genus TZ'aractrocera, the - antenne of Minimus, as also of Agraulia, being distinctly hooked. And_touching Agraulia, this may be the same insect as described by Godart under the name of Flavovittata, of late included in the genus Taractrocera ; at any rate, it is the nearest one I know to his description, although it seems strange that so experienced a lepi- dopterist as Hewitson should have overlooked Godart’s species. If this be so, Tepper’s Hesperilla Bifasciata will stand as a species, as it certainly is not = Ag graulia, LIST OF AUSTRALIAN BUTTERFLIES FOR LABELLING COLLECTIONS. —_____—_¢—___ LEPIDOPTERA, Lin.

Flank feathers tipped with olive green; edge of wing yellow, spotted with black; terminal feathers of lower back tipped with yellow; feet fuscous brown; axillaries pale yellow. The example previously recorded from Mount Owen Stanley shows the same traits of variation—possibly both may indicate a representative species. Male, July, 1891, at between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. PRHCILODRYAS VicaRra, 2s. Simulating P. bimaculata, Salvadori, but smaller; with the under wing-coverts partly white, and the abdomen . and vent almost entirely black. General colour, velvet black. Upper tail-coverts, a line broad on the side of the lower throat, becoming narrow on the side of the upper breast and extending thus partly across the latter, terminal half of the under wing-coverts, tips of some of the feathers of the lower abdomen and vent, and terminal two-thirds of the under tail-coverts white. Lower surface of wings and tail ashy black. Bill and feet black. Total length, 140; wing, 86; tail, 60; gape, 16:0; culmen, 11:0; tarsus, 23:0. Male, July, 1891, at between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. GERYGONE INSPERATA, ”.s. Head, cheeks, ear-coverts, scapulars, back and upper tail-coverts brown with a pale fulvous wash; a narrow palpebral ring white. The lower surface and under tail-coverts white, rather sordid on the throat, and more distinctly stained with brown on the sides of the upper breast. Tail pale-brown on the basal half of the upper surface, the terminal half with a broad black band; the outermost feather with a large white subapical spot occupying both webs, the other laterals with a spot confined to the inner web .and gradually decreasing in size, the median rectrices without spot; the tips of all uniform with the base.

Bill and feet black. Total length, about 9°8; bill (?) basal half only ; wing, 53; tail 4°6; tarsus, 16:0. One example in spirits, July, 1891, at between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. LANIID. PacTHYCEPHALA soroR, Selater. Tips of the terminal feathers of the lower back bright yellow, forming a narrow band. Male, July, 1891, at between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. 5 MELIPHAGIDS. | MyZOMELA ROSENBERGII, Schlegel. Six adult males and one young male assuming adult livery, July, 1891, at 5,641 feet. MELIPoTES MacuLaTA, 7.s. Sides of breast with dark central spots. Head black; back and scapulars brown, slightly tinged with olive, the feathers with faintly paler edges; lower back and upper tail-coverts rather paler brown, uniform. Lower surface grey, paler on the throat; margins of the feathers of the upper breast and of the sides of the lower breast grey, centres of the latter dark fuscous forming distinct spots. Centre only of lower breast and abdomen tinged with fulvous. Edge of ane under wing-coverts, and under tail-coverts pale sordid fulvous. A ridge ot feathers longer than those of the throat pro- ceeding from the lower base of the mandible beneath the wattle dark-brown, tipped with grey. Upper surface of wings, tail, and wing-coverts brown; the primaries narrowly, the secondaries and coverts more broadly, edged with grey. Wings and tail below ashy brown ; inner edge of remiges sordid grey. Bull black with the tip brown; feet washed with lead colour. ‘Total length, 190°0; wing, 113°0; "tail, 1140; gape, 22:0; culmen, 16°5 ; tarsus, 31:0. Female, July, 1891, at between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. This bird has a longer bill, wing, and tail than JZ fumigatus, Meyer, and is further distinguished by the regularly disposed blackish spots on the sides of the lower breast. Itis clearly not represented by the figure of JL. fumigatus in the hak lea fiir die Ges. Ornith., 1886, Heft IT. I here insert a description which should have appeared in my Report on the Owen Stanley birds :— TIMELIID&. AmatocrcHua, 2.g. Bill geocichline, but with the nostril small and placed in the anterior end of the nasal groove, and with the under mandible straight as far as the tip, which is slightly deflected ; mandi- bular notch shallow. ictal bristles moderate. Wing short, rounded, concave ; first primary about half its length shorter than the second ; second to fifth, which is the longest, graduated. ‘Tail of twelve feathers, rounded, shorter than wing. Tarsus elongate, slender, ocreate. Plumage soft and loose. AMALOCICHLA SCLATERIANA, z.s. Above rufous brown; head smoky brown ; the feathers of the hind-head with fuscous margins. Upper and under tail-coverts rufous; chin and throat white, appearing as an ill-defined gorget; the feathers with narrow pale-brown edges, forming obscure transverse bars. Feathers of the upper breast greyish-white, with broad smoky-brown margins forming an ill-defined pectora! band. Lower breast, sides of abdomen, and thighs grey; centre of abdomen white. lLores grey mottled with brown; cheeks, ear-coverts, and sides of neck rufous, grading to rufous brown, and edged with fuscous brown. Under wing-coverts and surface ‘of quills ashy-brown, the latter with a large buff spot near the base of the inner webs of all but 6 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. the first three primaries, the spots forming a clearly defined band. Bill black; base of lower mandible and feet hora-brown. Length, 195°0; wing, 103°0; tail, 710; tarsus, 47:0; gape, 24-0. Hab. : Mount Owen Stanley. Sex ? Notwithstanding the geocichline affinities of this bird apparent in the bill and under-wing pattern, the form of the wing seems to relate it to the Timeliide proper. lts nearest ally appears to be Ptilopyga. STURNID. ParaMYTHIA, 2.g. Bill shorter than the head, notched at the tip, compressed, acuminate; fore part of upper mandible curving gently to the tip; culmen obtuse; tomium somewhat inflected. Nostril exposed, elongate-ovate, placed in the basal half of the nasal groove, with a superior membrane. A few small soft rictal hairs. Wing subucuminate, subelongate; the first primary in place as long as the eighth; the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth forming the tip of the wing and nearly equal, the fourth the longest. Tail longer than wing, cuneate. Tarsus moderate, with scutellation entire. A small bare spot behind the eye. Head crested. PsRAMYTHIA MONTIUM, 7.s. Chin, throat, forecheek, lore, a narrow supraciliary line, and a broad frontal crest extending over crown black ; synciput and crown cream-white, the latter slightly tinged with blue; breast, upper abdomen, thigh, hinder cheek, and a broad band across occiput and upper back dull blue; the rest of the upper surface bright olive-green. Lower abdomen, vent, under tail-coverts, and a hypochondrial patch dull golden-yellow. Wing above fuscous, the primaries narrowly edged with greenish grey, the rest with olive green. Tail above brown on the inner, dull blue on the outer webs; the median feathers blue on both webs. Lower surface of wing and tail brown, inner webs of remiges obscurely edged with ashy grey. Under wing-coverts ashy grey with dark brown tips. Bill black, legs and feet blackish brown; iris brown. Total length, 190°0; wing, 87:0; tail, 110°0; bill (gape), 16°0; tarsus, 30°0. Female, July 28, 1891, at 6,900 feet, Disappointment Rock. PARADISEID®. LOPHORHINA SUPERBA, Pennant. Male; total length, 195-0; iris brown. July 9, 1891, at 4,350 feet. Parotia LAWESII, Ramsay. Female, July 26, 1891, at 4,100 feet. ASTRARCHIA STEPHANIZ, Meyer. The lengthened feathers of the head and the neck form a frill on either side; chin feathers scaly, outer webs of secondary remiges without bronze reflections; iris brown. Two males, July 29, 1891, at 7,723 feet. Female, same place and time. EpiMAaCHUS MACLEAYANS, Ramsay. Male; iris grey-blue. July 28, 1891, at 6,900 feet. Female, same place and time, the sexes being seen in separate companies. Agrees with the female described by Dr. Finsch in every detail but total length, which depends so much on the collector’s judgment. in making up a skin. As the female of this ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. 7 species is ascertained, and as the young male does uot agree with ¥insch’s description of the type of #. meyeri, it appears that the male of EH. meyeri is yet to be discovered. CRASPEDOPHORA MaAGNIFICA, Vietllot. Male, July 2, 1891, at 1,500 _ feet. AMBLYOERNIS SUBALARIS, Sharpe. Male, July 25, 1891, at 4,100 feet ; shot in the vicinity of the bower described by one of the party, as follows :— “ The bower is built of twigs arranged in the shape of a shallow circular basin, about 3 feet in diameter, the side being some 6 inches higher than the centre. The whole of the basin is covered with a carpet of the greenest and most delicate moss, which, as it is of a different kind to that growing around on the ground, trees, roots, &c., led me to conjecture had been planted by the bird itself. The surface is scrupulously cleared of all leaves, twigs, &c. In the centre of the basin a small tree, without branches, about 2 inches in diameter, is growing. Immediately around this tree, and supported by it to the height of about 2 feet, is erected a light structure of small sticks and twigs, placed horizontally, and crossing one another. On the extreme outer edge of the basin a more substantial collection of twigs had been built up, which was arched above so as to join the collection around the centre pole, leaving a clear space beneath for the bird to pass through in his gambols. The basin has two entrances leading into it. They are 4 or 5 inches apart, and are formed by a depression or gap in the outer rim. The bower is placed immediately to the right of the entrances. At the opposite side to the entrances, and on the highest part of the raised rim of the basin, is placed a quantity of black sticks (4 inches or so in length), black beans, and the black-wing coverings of large Coleoptera. Black is evidently the most attractive colour to this bird.”’ It is clear that this bower resembles much that of A. inornata, as described by Beceari. ST. AIGNAN. MuscicaPips. Monarcua GurruLatus, Garnot. Male; iris brown. July 4, 1891. MonarcHA CHALYBEOCEPHALUS, Garnot. An example, with many partially concealed white-tipped feathers on the abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts. A small patch of impure white on the middle of the Jower breast, and a white feather on the side of the breast. Male, July 6, 1891. Lantipa. PaCHYCEPHALA MELANURA, Gould. Female; iris light reddish-brown. July 8, 1891. MELIPHAGID. MyzoMELa nicRita, G. R. Gray. Immature male, July, 1891. 8 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. RENARD ISLAND.

This bird agrees in all respects, so far as can be seen, with the Admiralty Islands species, A. semirubra, Sclater; but its condition is such that no definite conclusion respecting it would be safe. ' LANIIDD. LataGE Kazu, Lesson. Male, June3, 1891. PACHYCEPHALA COLLARIS, Ramsay. Probably a local form of this species.

The hind limb protracted reaches the shoulder; digits moderately depressed at the base, strongly compressed beyond; basal phalanges with ten to eleven broad transverse plates. Rostral oblong, nearly twice as long as high, with a median groove above. Nostril between rostral, first -supralabial, a large supranasal, and several nasals.. Labials 12/10, mental triangular entering between first pair of chin-shields which are in contact behind it. Head minutely granular, the granules larger on the snout and supraorbital regions; back finely granular with small smooth tubercles disposed mesially in longitudinal, laterally in oblique, _ rows, of which the former are the more regular; twenty-six rows in all, defined beneath by a lateral fold on each side; tail above with larger flat granules and transverse rows of small tubercles at regular intervals along the basal half; below with the granules enlarging towards the mid line, which is broadly shielded by a series of transverse scutes; chin and throat minutely granular; breast and abdomen with larger flat imbricate cycloid scales. Above pale vinous grey with five broad dark- grey cross-bands becoming nearly black on their hinder edges, the first cross-band, V-shaped, running from eye to eye over the occiput; base of tail with broad nearly black rings, the intervals and the rest of the 12 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. tail white; lower surfaces sordid white. Total length, 130; length of head, 18; breadth of head, 13°5; body, 36:0; fore limb, 200; hind limb, 26°6; tail, 76:0. Scincide. Hinvria Jonrensis, Meyer.? Numerous examples with the digits shorter, the black spots on the side of the neck and shoulder small and continued serially from head to tail—differences which do not seem to be more than varietal. ; EMOA CYANOGASTER, Lesson. Mocoa nocrua, Lesson. Mocoa CHRULEOCAUDA, 75. Body short, stout; tail slender; snout short, thick. Fronto-nasal broader than long, in sutural contact with rostral, equally so with frontal.

Two pairs of preanals moderately enlarged. A dorso-lateral band from each supraciliary series inclusive, the sides of the neck, of the body, and base of tail black with brilliant metallic reflections, especially on the head. A vertebral band from rostral to base of tail, and a second from each supraorbital series inclusive becoming confluent on upper base of tail pale yellow, on the head darker and with golden reflections, and changing to blue on the hips; all the upper surface of the tail pure pale blue. Beneath pale shining buff, under surface of tail pale sordid blue at the base, purer towards tip. Limbs fuscous black spotted with white, blue, and buff.

Several examples of a scinc which is very possibly only a local variety of this species, with which it agrees in structural characters, but not in colouring. The upper and lateral surfaces are nearly black ; there is a broad but obscure pale vertebral line from the occiput to the base of the tail, and a narrower but brighter line along the flank.

ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. 13 Part Il. -—HEMIPTERA. By HENRY TRYON, Assistant Curator. Fam. ARTHROPTERIDSA. 1. Coptosoma amena, Walker. Cat. Hem. Heter. i. p. 93 (1869). Loc.: St. Joseph River, Hall Sound (A. C. English); Rigi District (A. C. English) ; South Cape (T. H. Richards) ; Chad’s Bay, Cloudy Bay, Glasgow Harbour, South Cape. ‘Notrt.—The examples from the St. Joseph River more nearly correspond with the type, as defined by Walker’s description, than do those from the other localities mentioned. In the South Cape specimens the broad yellow streak on each side of the fore-border of the scutellum tends to become obsolete; each streak being represented by a series of two or more spots only, or even by a single one. In specimens also from each of the three first-mentioned localities, the lateral yellow stripes on the fore-border of the pronotum may be more or less broken up or invaded by inlets or islets of the prevailing black body-colour. Again, the yellow markings of the scutellum, in the form of small, irregular, sometimes anastomosing blotches, may be distributed over its entire surface, with the exception of its disc. The “longitudinal lanceolate yellow streak’”’ of the scutellum may also disappear. 2. Brachyplatys simplex, sp. nov. Above almost black, with a slight eneous reflection, nitid; head and pronotum nearly impunctate, scutellum with very fine punctures; head with a few linear wrinkles, directed cutwards from the central lobe. A narrow brown limb to prothorax, scutellum, and abdomen; a broader sub-marginal luteous line continuous along the sides of the pronotum and scutellum, or interrupted at the posterior lateral angles of the former. Basal joint of the antenne, two spots on head beneath—one on each side of: the rostrum when in repose, a narrow internally dentate sub-marginal line on the abdomen beneath, and a row of spots along the line of the spiracles, yellow. Antenne and legs light fuscous. Corium, costa, and veins of membrane of fore-wings fuscous ; membrane itself with a faint brownish suffusion. Length, 4 to 44 lines. JZoc.: Fly River CW. Froggatt). 3. Brachyplatys paucifera, Walker. Cat. Hem. Heter. 1. p. 105. Loe.: Fly River (W. W. Froggatt). Norz.,—A single hemipteron from the above locality is referred to B. pauci- Jera with some misgivings. It would appear to be a larger insect than is the type, . being 3% instead of 3 lines in length. From the description also of Walker’s species it might reasonably be inferred that in it the head was uniformly seneous black. In the Fly River insect before us, on the other hand, the head has a broad Juteous band along its fore-border, including the dark-coloured central lobe and contiguous to a transverse narrow yellow line behind the latter. 4, Brachyplatys pusilla, sp. nov. Aineous black, piceous beneath, nitid except thorax beneath, minutely punctured. Head nearly as broad as the thorax, yellow above and beneath, hind-border above, the base of the middle lobe, and a more or less distinct clouded transverse band between the fore-border of the eyes, fuscous. Prothorax with three yellow lines, as follows:—(1) Bordering the antero-lateral angles; (2) a deeply undulating one behind the fore-border, but meeting it and the preceding line mid-way between the central point 14 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. and the sides, passing direct to the centre of the lateral border, con- tinued along it and then bordering the postero-lateral angles ; and (3) a continuous arched line, approaching No.2 behind the centre of the fore-border, continued to the hind-border which it meets just internal to the postero-lateral angle. Scutellum conspicuously emarginate behind, the limb and a sub-marginal line yellow, with an intercepting impressed line separating them, also with a yellow band along the fore- border almost uniting with the sub-marginal line. Abdomen beneath with a yellow internally crenated border separated by a piceous line from a yellow internally deeply serrated interrupted band of the same colour. Legs, yellow. Length, 2¢lines. Zoc.: Toko, Fairfax Harbour. Notrr.—The two specimens on which the above description is based may possibly be regarded as illustrating a variety of B. ruptilinea, Walker. Fam. PENTATOMIDA. Sub-fam. Scutelleride. 5. Calliphara Billardiert, Fabr. S. R., p.129, 4 (1808). Variety. Loe.: Kibola. 6. Calliphara dimidiata, Dallas. Catalogue of Hemiptera, 1. p. 24,8 (1851). Loc.: St. Joseph River (A. C. English) ; Ferguson {sland (A. C. English). Notr.—Also occurs at Cape York. 7. Calliphara (nobilis, Linn.)? Loc.: St. Joseph River (A. C. English); Sudest (8-7-91). Nort.—To the above are referred numerous examples of a very handsome insect which undoubtedly is comprised in the very limited section of Calliphara, which includes this species. However, Dumeril’s description of C. nobilis, in the Iictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, the only one available for reference, is too brief to suitably characterise the species, and therefore this identification, as a con- clusion based on inadequate evidence, may prove incorrect. 8. Philia senator, Fabr; var. cresus, Voll. Loc.: St: Joseph River (A. C. English). | Notre.—This variety, as well as the typical species, is also met with in North- east Queensland, along the coast from the Herbert River northwards. 9. Philia flammigera, Walker. Cat. Hem. Heter. i. p. 42. Loc.: St. Joseph River (A. C. English). — 10. Philia flammigera, Walker, var. One of the specimens from the St. Joseph River and another from Rigi presenta distinct variation, having the portion of the pronotum behind the transverse furrow black. ‘The scutellum behind its furrow is also of the same colour, but the part in front of the furrow is green, with coppery reflections.

Loc.: Taputa, Chad’s Bay. Norst.—A single specimen of an Asopus from the above locality differs from the type of Strachia reciproca as defined by Walker by the absence of the whitish disc on the abdomen beneath. However, some of the bands which occur on the hinder borders of each segment are somewhat widened in the centre, and if this feature were exaggerated the condition met with in the type would result. 14, Asopus glauco-limbata, sp. nov.

Head with the lateral lobes anteriorly rounded, slightly exceeding central lobe so as to cause a shallow emargination. Rostrum extending to the hind border of the second ventral segment, tip black. Antenne puberulent, . first joint not quite reaching the fore-border of head, second, third, and fourth joints subequal—the second, however, being slightly less than the third. The anterior lateral angles of the prothorax each with a blunt tooth. The éallous spots at the basal angles of the scutellum piceous. Legs pubescent, with brown spots especially numerous on the femora; tibia channelled on their outer surfaces. Fore-wings with the membrane suffused with light-brown, its veins pale-brown also. Length, 6} lines. Loc.: St. Joseph River (W. W. Froggatt) ; Laloki River; Fairfax Harbour. Nore.—This insect, which also occurs at Cairns, N.E. Queensland, is probably referable to the genus Oncocoris, Mayr, (vid., Voy. Novara. Hemiptera) ; it also seems allied to Pentatoma marginalis, Walker (Cat. Hem. Heterop. ii., p. 306). It is, however, larger than the latter, the abdomen is not bordered by testaceous nor are the legs testaceous. Moreover, the transverse ridge connecting the posterior lateral angles of the thorax is pronounced, and there are indications of a light- coloured line along it.

Scutellum extending beyond internal angle of corium; connexivum from basal abdominal segment backwards uncovered. Length, 4 to 43 lines. Zoc.: Laloki River. Norr.—It is with some diffidence that this insect, which occurs also in Australia, from Cairns to Moreton Bay, is regarded asa new species. The characters, however, which it presents do not seem to accord with those assigned to any of the recorded species of this genus. « 19. Eysarcoris afinis, Dallas. Cat. Hemip., p. 227.

Note.—This species, which is allied to an insect occurring at the Alice River, Queensland, is probably amongst the number of already described ones. ‘Lhe published characters of the members of this difficult genus, however, do not appear to be sufficiently distinctive to enable its identity to be established. It has the usual five lines on the scutellum and corium. The central line on the bead 13, however, only shortly continued on to the thorax, and the abdomen beneath has a luteous border. 24. Spudeus variabilis, sp. nov. More or less pubescent, light- brownish yellow; thickly and rather coarsely punctured, except beneath where the punctures are restricted to the thorax; punctures brown.

Membrane of the fore-wings suffused with light-brown with its veins fuscous. A few piceous spots on femora. Antenne with the relative lengths of the second and third joints variable (the second joint may equal two-thirds of the third, but is usually less). The rostrum extends backwards to the hind-border of the third abdominal segment. Prothorax with its sides bluntly toothed or crenated. The scutellum extends backwards beyond the inner angle of the corium, and is narrowed in front of its light-coloured tip. Length, 9-10 lines. Zoc.: St. Joseph River (A. C. English); Rigi District (A.

Notz.—(a) In addition to the examples presenting the above characters, there are specimens which are more or less suffused with testaceous, the corium of the fore-wings appearing red by transmitted light; there may also be a spot of green punctures on each side of the pronotum in front; the pronotum also may have five (more or less) well-defined fuscous bands on its disc, and there may be a fuscous spot on each side of the scutellum at the base of the latter; the abdomen may also be uniformly light-coloured without spiracular band. (6) Possibly two species may be included in the above description, and distinguished by the shape which the extremity of each lateral lobe of the head presents, being either sub-angular or rounder.

THE EXTINCT FRESH-WATER TURTLES OF QUEENSLAND. eens A preliminary notice of these reptiles under the title of “The Lesser Chelonians of the Nototherian Drifts,” was submitted by the writer to the Royal Society of Queensland at its meeting on the 22nd September, 1894, and published by the Society in vol. 10 (pp. 123-127) of its Proceedings. In that paper attention was drawn to the presence in the Darling Downs deposits of abundant fragments of turtle shells, indicating apparently the past existence of more than one species, and. to the inclusion among them of traces of a Mud-turtle, for which the name Trionyx australiensts was proposed. A hope was at the same time expressed that a study of these commingled shards of former life might yield us some idea, however vague and imperfect, of the characteristics of the reptiles of which they were once constituents. After a long series of delays caused by untoward circumstances, chief among them being scanty leisure for work of the kind, an opportunity of renewing the subject occurs and use is made of it. The bulk of the fragments is found to consist of the relics of a few species belonging to the genera Chelymys and Chelodina, the Chelonian forms still prevalent in our inland waters; one species which is numerously represented is foreign to any genus known to the writer. The remnants can, with sufficient confidence, be referred to the several species discriminated by their means, but a reproduction of the form of the carapaces and plastrons, which has in some instances been attempted by reducing fragments of various size to common proportions and placing them as nearly as possible in their proper positions, is, of course, very lable to error. I have to thank my friend, Mr. R. Etheridge, for the opportunity a identifying the fossils mentioned as occurring at the Warburton iver. The following species are recognisable :— Fam. CHELYDIDS. Gen. Chelymys. CHELYMYS UBERRIMA, n.s.—It is from this species that by far the greater number of the remains before us have been derived. Its generic identity is indicated by the presence of the superficial markings familiar to us in the living species of Chelymys, by the impressions of nuchal and interjugal shields, and by the sides of the pygal plate being quite uncovered by the last costal shields. The species is distinguished by the peculiar feebleness of its markings, by the general form and proportions of its parts, and by its comparative size. It is founded primarily on the only example of some few plates in their natural connection, which have occurred among the whole of the turtle remains, to show the precise form of the part whence they came : in this case the anterior region of the carapace (Plate 1, Fig. A). The second and third peripheral plates are extended outwards to a greater degree than in the living species; the peripheral surfaces become more 4 convex and the edges thicker as they recede, producing an obvious contrast with the opposite conditions in the recent Chelymys. The first vertebral shield is narrower in proportion to its length, its hinder edge is straighter, and its form different in other respects. The surface pattern beneath the marginal shields is much as in C. macquario, a plexus of fine branching and interosculating lines, but beneath the costal and vertebral shields the longitudinal markings are delicate raised lines or fine strie, frequently imperceptible in certain lights, but almost always sufficiently in evidence for determinative purposes. The centre of the space beneath the first vertebral shield is convex, but from this convexity caudad the surface subsides into a broad shallow depression, The rest of the plates entering into the composi- tion of the carapace as restored being shown in position on Plate 1, it is unnecessary to describe them separately. Assuming the figure to be moderately true to nature, the carapace in this species had the form of a short oblong, a little contracted anteriorly, with lateral margins which are broad, convex, and nonrevolute as far as the ninth peripheral, then increasing slowly in breadth and becoming a little concave on the upper surface as far as the uropygial plate which is gently convex in the centre. The arch of the carapace seems to have been moderately elevated; its crown a little depressed in the course of the vertebral line. The constituent species of the plastron (Plate II.) have been recognised by the similarity of their surface markings with those of the peripheral plates of the carapace, and the identification has been confirmed by the fact that the fragments of the two present themselves in a similar numerical superiority over all others. The average size of the species at maturity was, in linear measurement, about twice that of C. macquaria. Loc.: Darling Downs, passim. CHELYMYS ANTIQUA, n.s.—A species of so infrequent occurrence that it is represented by four fragments only, a lophial and first pleural from young individuals, a first and one of the hinder pleurals from older carapaces. The hinder half of the lophial (Plate III., Fig. A) is strongly elevated, its lateral angles depressed. The nuchal shield is oblong, with diameters 8: 6°5; it is much shorter than the adjacent marginals, yet protrudes a little beyond them, conse- quently the front edge of the first vertebral in contact with it is thrust forward between the first marginals to a much greater extent than in the recent species. The anterior edge of the first marginal slopes caudad, not, as in C. macquaria, cephalad. The convex portion of the plate is rather obscurely ribbed with longitudinal raised lines, the remainder of it bears only a few very irregular and almost obsolete ridges. The first pleural plate (Plate I1I., Fig. B) shows on its surface the groove between the first vertebral and first costal shields and parts of those bounding the second marginal and_ second vertebral; the first of these shows that the first vertebral shield in this species had a straight lateral edge and a sharp posterior angle, and that the angularity of the edge of the second marginal was much greater than in CO. macquaria. The surface markings on this plate differ from those of the living species only in being more delicate. A portion of a similar plate from an apparently mature individual (Plate III., Fig. C) has the same straight groove as the preceding and superficial lineations no coarser than in it. An abraded fragment from the upper (vertebral shield) end of one of the 5 posterior pleural plates (Plate III., Fig. D) has longitudinal lines of like character. So far as we can learn from these examples of the species it seems to have been about equal in size with Chelodina oblonga. Loc.: Darling Downs. CHELYMYS ARATA, n.s.—This species, which is well distin- guished by the coarse ridge-and-furrow-like sculpture of its carapace, and the transverse direction of the ridges beneath the hinder part of the first vertebral shield, is almost as infrequent as the preceding. It is exemplified by three pleural and one pygal plate from the Darling Downs, and by two pleural plates from the Warburton River. The pleural plate, probably the fourth of the left side, figured on PlateIV., Fig. B, shows the characteristic sculpture almost in its pristine strength; the rounded ridges equal to or greater than the deep furrows in breadth are seldom continuous, generally interrupted or by interosculation form loops and branches; those on the upper or vertebral portion ascending obliquely, those beneath the costal shields descending. The younger bone, the fifth pleural plate apparently of the same side (Plate IV., Fig. C) has the same style of ornamental ribbing, but as in the subject of Fig. D, a still younger plate from the opposite side, the ribs on the part beneath the hinder portion of the vertebral shield are broken up into irregular tubercules not clearly marked in the drawing. The first pleural, one of the two Warburton River fossils, figured on the same Plate IV., Fig. A, shows that on the hinder portion of the first vertebral shield the ridges, formed probably by coalescence of the tubercules above mentioned, took a transverse direct direction, those on the costal part of the plate a strongly oblique direction upwards. To this species is referred the broadly pentagonal, radiately furrowed pygal plate represented by Fig. EH, Plate IV. It is evidently from a Chelymys, and more probably from this species than any other pygal in the collection. The second pleural from the Warburton River (Fig. F, Plate IV.) is a fragment of the fourth of the left side much abraded. In size C. arata appears not to have been larger than the recent C. macquaria. Gen. Chelodina. CHELODINA INSCULPTA, n.s.—A species which is at present distinguished chiefly by the extreme degree to which the typical sculpture of the genus is developed by it. The inner surface of the first pleural (Plate V., Fig. A) shows that the curved pier sent up by the brachiosternal for the support of the carapace extended inwards towards the vertebre as far as 1t does in C. oblonga, but was more forward in position, and further, that the convex surface for the reception of the pier was continuous with that of the process for the attachment of the vertebral centra, which is not the case in C. oblonga ; but the position of the pier, and consequently the longitudinal extent of the anterior opening of the test, appears to have been liable to con- siderable variation, for in the subject of Plate V., Fig. B, a second pleural of the same side, with attachment to the succeeding vertebra, the pier was inserted on the posterior side of the second rib instead of that of the first. The specific character of the surface graving apparent in its peculiar strength and regularity is well seen in this example. On the vertebral portion of the plate each edge presents a row of long folds or bars while the middle is covered G with a broad band of scale-like folds, which on the costal portion is’ divided into two by an intercostal groove; the pattern produced on either side of the groove reminds one of a moiety of the skin from the belly of a snake with ventral scutes. Of a third p!eural plate a portion is represented by Fig. B, Plate V. This plate being entirely covered by the overlying costal shield, of course, bears upon it no dermal groove. The nearly entire fourth pleural (Plate V., Fig. C) shows in a well- preserved state a slight modification of the surface pattern; the band of scales on either side the groove is wider, and the lateral bands of bar-like folds narrower than in the other fragments referred to the species. At the distal end the sculpture takes the character of long ascending tongues; these are seen again on the distal end of a sixth pleural (Plate V., Fig. D.) The finely-preserved ninth peripheral plate of Plate V., Fig. G, illustrates the pronounced character of the sculpture in this part of the carapace; above the submarginal groove it ascends in bold flame-like tongues, below it reproduces the general pattern of the pleural plates. On peripheral plates that have suffered much from abrasion of the surface the flame-like elevations are reduced to long pointed bract-like etchings. It is with some con- fidence that the pygal plate seen on Plate V., Fig. H, is thought to pertain to the present turtle, as there are on its distal margin distinct indications, not clearly marked by the artist, of the elongated ridges borne by the distal ends of the pleural plates. In a fragment of a similar plate from the Warburton River all the superficial tubercules are more elongate in form than the generality of those on the entire plate figured. On Plate V. an attempt has been made to reproduce the form of this carapace as nearly as the paucity of material allows, but it must be confessed that all that can be positively said of it is that its lateral edges were moderately broad and revolute (cf. Plate VI., Vig.C.) In addition to the fragments of carapace figured, sixteen others from the Darling Downs and seven from the Warburton River affirm the validity of the species, but do not greatly add to knowledge of it. Plastron: Inthe living species of Chelodina, the sutures between the posterior divisions of the plastron pass each through a band of elongate etchings as in contiguous pleural plates. By virtue of this as an almost generic condition and an unusually strong development of superficial graving as a specific, we may reasonably attribute to the plastron of C. insculpta the naturally associated mero- and sacro- sternal given on Plate VI. The two other plates included in the con- jectural restoration of the plastron on Plate VI. are all the remains of this region of the test which have as yet been met with. Loc.: Darling Downs ; Eight-mile Plains, near Brisbane ; Warburton River. PELOCOMASTES* (gen. nov.)—Test smooth ; no nuchal shield ; dermal grooves coarse and irregular; plastron short, broad, depressed ; interjugal shields transversely divided, its anterior division marginal ; sacrosternal notch moderate. , PELOCOMASTES AMPLA, n.s.—Remains of the test of this species are easily recognised by the absence of any, or at least of any definite, kind of ornamentation on their surfaces and by the peculiar uncouthness of their broad deep grooves, which run in curved, often rugged, lines and meet in rounded angles. * Mud-reveller. 7 Carapace:—An imperfect lophial plate with part of a first peripheral, not figured, is unfortunately not of sufficient extent to show conclusively either the presence or the absence of a nuchal shield, but as the latter seems to be the more probable, it is assumed to be the case in the representation of the fore part of the carapace given on Plate VIJ. The surface of the anterior peripherals figured shows no system of marking whatever, though something of the kind has been introduced in Fig. A of Plate VII., but in a first right peripheral not figured the surface is obscurely diversified by shallow groovings which here and there form angular loops; like many other fragments of the test of this species, the present one has a glazed semiporcellanous appearance. In a first left peripheral from a young animal the surface is shallowly but plainly impressed with loop-like groovings. Probably in still younger stages of growth these markings were yet more distinct and general. One of the lateral peripheral plates of the same side, probably the eighth, is rendered half natural size in Fig. D, Plate VII.; its dimensions show that for a fresh- water turtle the species attained to a large size, and the thickness of the plate (30mm. at its anterior edge) indicates that the test was unusually strong. The first pleural of the left side (Plate VII., Fig. C), viewed on its inner aspect, has the vertebral process and the convexity for the reception of the brachiosternal pier forming an uninterrupted curved ridge which separates a deep and continuous fossa behind it from the more level surfacein front. Plastron: Plate VIL., Fig. B, isa half-sized figure of the left brachiosternal minus its ascending pier; it shows a flat plastron passing with a very low arch into the carapace. The surface of this plastron is entirely devoid of ornamental markings. The subject of Fig. B, Plate VIIL., indicates a breadth of 290mm. for the whole plastron, but as its thickness is less than half that of the subject of Fig. C, we may fairly estimate the full breadth of this turtle at two English feet. The number of the pieces of plastron and carapace derived from this turtle exceeds that left by any of its contemporaries except Chelodina uberrima. Loc.: Darling Downs. Besides the turtles which have left sufficient remains for their specific determination, others were certainly in existence: There is, for example, in evidence a pleural plate ornamented after the manner of a Trionyx, but having the rib entirely sunk beneath the inner sur- face. There is, again, a pygal plate with a very peculiar rippling style of ornament ; but isolated traces such as these it is useless to describe further since their utmost value to history can only be for the present gen. et sp. ind. It may be observed that the large amount of material examined for the purposes of these notes has not supplied any ground for suspecting that any existing species was coeval with the forms now disclosed from the Darling Downs. The Chelonian division of the fauna accords with the others in declaring that since its remains were buried a total change has swept over the vertebral life of Australia. C. W.

THE XYLORYCTIDA OF QUEENSLAND. — THE family Xyloryctide was instituted by Mr. E. Meyrick, B.A.., _F-.E.S., to receive a large and important section of the Zineina. His monograph, published in the transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, 1890, page 23, laid the foundation of all our knowledge of this group, which he defines as follows :-— “Head smooth or with more or less loosely appressed hairs ; ocelli absent ; tongue developed. Antennsze 3—-?; in male pectinated, ciliated, or simple, basal joint without pecten. Labial palpi recurved, terminal joint pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, more or less appressed to tongue. Abdomen in male with uncus developed, variable in length. Forewings with vein 1 furcate towards base, 7 and 8 stalked or rarely separate or coincident, 11 from middle of cell. Hindwings as broad or generally broader than forewings, trapezoidal to ovate, 1b clothed with long hairs above towards base, shortly furcate at base, 3 and 4 from a point or stalked, 6 and 7 stalked or approximated towards base, 8 connected with upper margin of cell by a short bar.” : The family is most nearly related to the Oecophoride, and many species of both families present such a close general resemblance that care is necessary to avoid confusing them. This can always be done by observing the neuration of the hindwings, and there are also usually other points of distinction which are however not quite absolute. For the classification of the genera we are indebted to Meyrick’s paper quoted above, which will be repeatedly referred to in the following pages. In the few instances in which-[ have ventured to differ from Mr. Meyrick it has been in the endeavour to apply his methods to the more ample material at my disposal. | A number of species have been more recently described by Dr. T. P. Lucas, of Brisbane, and by Mr. Oswald Lower, of South Australia. Of these, I have noticed all those of the former author, having had the good fortune to obtain access in all but one instance to the original types. Those of Lower’s species which occur in Queensland are also referred to. This paper owes its value mainly to the splendid collection placed at my disposal by Mr. R. Illidge, whose assiduous labours in the discovery and rearing of the larve have resulted in a rich harvest of specimens of new or previously little known species. Mr. F. P. Dodd has obtained a small but highly interesting collection of specimens reared from larve found in the neighbourhood of Charters Towers ; these are now in Mr. Illidge’s collection. Our previous knowledge of this family in Queensland was mainly due to specimens obtained by the late Mr. G. Barnard, of Duaringa. , There yet remain however many new species, more particularly of the less conspicuous genera, to be discovered in the locality of Brisbane ; and our knowledge of those in the more distant parts of the colony is still extremely fragmentary. | 4 The following tabulation includes those of Meyrick’s genera, which are not at present known in Queensland.

The perfect insects are large, and for the most part conspicuous, but are rarely met with. They may, however, be reared in abundance from the larve, as has been done with conspicuous success by Mr. R. Illidge. The increased material so obtained has enabled me to remove from the genus epigramma, Meyr, porphyrinella, Walk., and cephalochra, Lower, of which species only the females were previously known. For the first I have instituted the new genus J/lidgea ; the remainder are referred to Aylorycta. The genus Pilostibes, Meyr., I have dropped, as in all the speci- mens I have examined veins 7 and 8 are stalked. I can only con- jecture that Mr. Meyrick was misled by an abnormal specimen in which vein 7 happened to be absent. P. enchidias, Meyr., is included under the present genus ; P. stigmatias, Meyr., under Xylorycta. The following is a tabulation of the Queensland species :— 1.

Male, 32-34 mm.; antennal pectinations, 2. Female, 40-62 mm. TI orewings with vein 2 from +; hindwings with 6 and 7 froma point. Male: Head and thorax dark ochreous-brown. Face whitish. Palpi whitish, terminal joint whitish or dark fuscous Antenne blackish. Abdomen blackish; second segment orange-red ; tuft reddish-ochreous. Legs whitish, tinged with pale reddish ; annulated with black. Forewings narrow oblong, costa almost straight, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded; dark ochreous-brown, a dark dot in dise at 1; a second, sometimes double, on fold below middle, and two placed transversely in disc at 3, the lower somewhat anterior; three black dots on apical 4 of costa, some- times obsolete; a narrow black line along hindmargin, sometimes interrupted ; cilia dark ochreous-brown. Hindwings with hindmargin sinuate; dark fuscous, blackish towards base; cilia fuscous, some- times whitish except towards anal angle. Female: Head and thorax whitish, tinged with reddish-ochreous. Palpi whitish. Antenne dark fuscous. Legs whitish, tinged with pale reddish ; annulated with black. Abdomen blackish; second segment orange-red; tuft and margin of penultimate segment whitish, tinged with reddish-ochreous. Forewings oblong, somewhat dilated posteriorily, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin almost straight, moderately oblique; pale ochreous-brown, along costa inclining to whitish; discal dots as in male; a row of black dots along hindmargin and apical + of costa, sometimes inclining to be obsolete; cilia pale fuscous. Hindwings fuscous at base, gradually passing into whitish over apical third of disc, on which veins are outlined in fuscous; cilia white, towards anal angle fuscous. Closely allied to C. sarcinota, Meyr., but appears a good species. The male is very different in general appearance. The female may be best distinguished by the whitish apices of the hindwings. Brisbane: a series bred by Mr. Illidge from Hucalyptus saligna. Also found on other species of this genus. : 9 14. CrypToPHAGA EUMORPHA, ”. sp. Male, 25 mm.; antennal pectinations, 3; forewings with vein 2 from ?; hindwings with 6 and 7 stalked, Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi small, terminal joint minute, whitish. Antenne blackish. Thorax whitish, anterior margin tinged with reddish-brown. Abdomen whitish, barred with fuscous ; second segment reddish-brown. Legs blackish, annulated with white. Fore- wings narrow oblong, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded; slate-coloured; a black dot in disc beyond 4, and two in disc at 3, placed transversely, the upper one almost obsolete ; a row of black dots along hindmargin and apical § of costa; cilia whitish.

Hindwings shining white; extreme base somewhat irrorated with fuscous; a series of black dots along hindmargin, encroaching on cilia; cilia white. A fine and distinct species. Charters Towers: one male and two female specimens bred by Mr. Dodd from larve tunnelling the stems of Hucalyptus (a kind of Bloodwood). 16. CRypTropHaGa NiIGRIcINcTA, 2. sp. Male, 25-30 mm.; an- tennal pectinations, 3. Female, 40-45 mm. Forewings with 2 from ¢; hindwings with 6 and 7 from a point. Male: Head and face pale- orange. Palpi ochreous-whitish, terminal joint minute, dark fuscous, apex sometimes white. Antenne blackish. Thorax dark slate- coloured, with a transverse pale-orange bar near anterior margin, which is usually whitish. Abdomen blackish; segments slenderly out- lined with white scales ; traces of orange suffusion usually present on second segment. Legs black with white annulations. Forewings rather narrowly oblong, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; dark slate-coloured ; a large black dot in dise beyond 4, and two placed transversely in disc at 2; a row of black dots along hindmargin and apical 4 of costa; cilia white.

Legs black with white annulations, orewings oblong, posteriorly slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 10 clear white; a black dot in dise beyond 3, and two in disc at 2 placed transversely—the lower rather posterior ; a series of black dots along hindmargin and apical 4 of costa; cilia white. Hindwings white; sometimes irregularly suffused with fuscous; a row of black dots along hindmargin, sometimes extending into cilia ; cilia white. Closely allied to C. delocentra, Meyr., and subsequent research may show that it is merely a geographical form of this species. The male, however, appears very distinct, and the female may be distin- guished by the black second abdominal segment. A _ considerable series shows these differences to be constant. We have seen both sexes of C. delocentra taken by Mr. Lower in South Australia, and in these the forewings of the male are white. (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1892.) Brisbane: larve found in the stems of several species of Eucalyptus. 17. CRYPTOPHAGA EPADELPHA, MMeyr. Meyrick, 36. Male, 31-36 mm. (I have seen one specimen, perhaps starved, only 25 mm.) ; antennal pectinations, 4. Female, 40-48 mm. The hindwings in male are uniform blackish-fucous. Brisbane: larve found commonly tunnelling the stems of Tristania conferta (Box-tree), less commonly Tristania suaveolens (Swamp Mahogany), dragging in leaves for food; moths emerge in November and December. This and the two following species are closely allied, and the larve are also closely similar. OC. epadelpha may be distinguished by the total absence of discal dots on the forewings ; C. pultenee by the more rounded apices of the forewings and the presence of discal dots; the white variety of C. nubila resembles C. epadelpha in shape of wing, the discal dots are usually present, and it never has the pure snow-white tinge possessed by fresh specimens of the other two species. 18. CrypropHaGa PULTEN EH, Lw. (Cryptophasa pultenee, Lewin, Ins. N. S. W.) Meyrick, 38. Male, 31-33 mm.; antennal pecti- nations, 4. Female, 32-33 mm. Brisbane: bred by Mr. Illidge from larve tunnelling the stems of Hugenia myrtifolia and Eugenia Smithii. Meyrick gives Pultenca villosa as the foodplant. 19. CrypropHaga NuBiILA, Lucas. Pree. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1893, 161. (Cryptophaga intermedia, ibid., 162.) Male, 28-33 mm. ; antennal pectinations 4. Females, 32-42 mm. Forewings with vein 2 from 3. Hindwings with 6 and 7 from a point. Head, face, and palpi white. Antenne white at base, passing into fuscous. Thorax white, ochreous-whitish, or pale slate-coloured. Abdomen in male fuscous, segments narrowly edged with white; in female white; in both sexes second segment orange-red. Legs white, tarsi annulated with fuscous. Forewings oblong, costa in male very slightly, in femaie moderately arched, apex moderately rounded, hindmargin rounded, slightly oblique; white, ochreous-whitish, or pale slate-coloured, fre- quently sparsely, sometimes densely, irrorated with dark fuscous scales ; costal margin white; a black dot in disc at 4, and two others transversely placed at 2, lower somewhat posterior—these are very rarely obsolete, but sometimes lost in the fuscous suffusion; a row of black dots along hindmargin and apical + of costa, sometimes obsolete; cilia =” 11 white or tinged with pale fuscous, in which case a darker line at 4 can usually be traced. Hindwings in male dark fuscous, in female white, sometimes more or less suffused with fuscous; a hindmarginal series of black dots ; cilia white. Var. Alba.—It is convenient to denote by this name the speci- mens with white ground-colour of forewings without fuscous irro- ration. A very variable species. I have bred a large series, and have obtained the most extreme examples from the same food-plant. [| regard the white colouration as ancestral, the darker varieties as a pro- tective adaptation to the colours of the bark of the trees to which the species is attached. Brisbane: the larve tunnelling the stems and dragging in for food the leaves of Melaleuca leucodendron (Yea-tree), Melaleuca linarit- folia, Callistemon salignus, Callistemon lanceolatus, and probably other species of these genera; also of Tristania suaveolens (Swamp Maho- gany) and Backhousia myrtifolia; and in gardens of the Guava. The moths emerge in November and December. 20. CrypropHaGa EccLEsrastis, Meyr. Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1886, 1040; and op. cit. 32. Male, 30-35 mm.; antennal pectinations, 3; forewings fuscous; hindwings dark-fuscous with a purple iridescence ; abdomen dark-fuscous. Female, 53-59 mm. ; forewings very pale whitish-grey ; hindwings similar, suffused with fuscous towards hindmargin. (Meyrick’s type from Victoria was shining white.) This species is readily distinguished by the curious coppery- purple hindmarginal fascia. It is also characterised by the minute labial palpi. Brisbane: four specimens bred by Mr. Illidge from larve tunnelling the stems of twcalyptus corymbosa (Bloodwood). 21. CRYPTOPHAGA FLAVOLINEATA, Walk. (Cryptolechia flavo- lineata, Walker, 749 ; Cryptophaga flavolineata, Meyrick, 36). Male, 33-36 mm. ; antennal pectinations, 3. Female, 39-45 mm. Brisbane: larve live in stems of Banksia integrifolia, dragging in leaves for food. 22. Crypropuaga spinonota, Scott. (Cryptophasa spilonota, Scott, Austr. Lep. 10, pl. 3.) Meyrick, 35. Male, 37 mm. ; antennal pectinations, 3. Female, 41 mm. Darra, near Brisbane: bred by Mr. Illidge from larve tunnelling the stems of Banksia integrifolia. 2, XYLORYCTA, Meyr. Antennal ciliations of male, ¢ to 2. This genus differs from Cryptophaga only in the non-pectinated antenne of the male. Recent discoveries have brought the two into very near relationship. I have been compelled to drop Meyrick’s genus, Telecrates, which was dis- tinguished only by the shorter antennal ciliations, as the new species referable to the present genus render it no longer tenable. Meyrick himself anticipated that this might come to be the case (op. cit. 57). 12 The following isa tabulation of the Queensland species :— 1.

S.A. 1894, 91.) Male, 27-30 mm.; antenue slightly serrate towards extremity; ciliations, 4. Female, 31-35 mm. Brisbane: a series bred by Mr. Illidge from larve tunnelling the stems of Hwocarpus cupressiformis (Native Cherry), and dragging in leaves for food. 26. XyborycTa FLAvicostTa, Lucas. (Cryptophaga flavicosta, Lucas, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1893, 1638.) Male, 26 mm.; an- tennal ciliations, 13-2. Female, 35-36 mm. Readily distinguished by the slate-coloured forewings with orange costal streak. Brisbane: larve discovered by Mr. Illidge in the stems of several species of Hucalyptus. Var. pallida.—Mr. Dodd has brought a male and female specimen from Charters Towers with whitish hindwings, forewings rather paler than in Brisbane types, with broader orange costal streak, and more black dots on hindmargin. 27. XYLORYCTA MOLYBDINA, z.sp. Female, 22-29 mm. Head, face, palpi, and antenna white. Thorax pale slate-colour. Abdomen grey. Legs whitish. Forewings oblong, dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; pale slate-colour; a white streak along costal edge not reaching apex; cilia pale slate-colour. Hindwings grey, paler towards base ; cilia grey. Brisbane: several female specimens bred from larve found in the stems of Melaleuca leucadendron (Tea-tree). 28. XYLORYCTA NEOMORPHA, 7.sp.

Thorax white or whitish-grey. Abdomen fuscous. Legs reddish, posterior tibie white. Forewings posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex rather acute, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; whitish-grey ; a pale-orange line along costa (in female specimen absent); a large blotch in disc, extending to inner margin, but not to costa, irrorated more or less densely with reddish-brown scales; in this are two elongate pale-orange spots at 2 and 2 of disc; a third similar spot on fold obliquely below first, sometimes obsolete; cilia pale reddish-brown. Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia pale ochreous. Differs from the rest of the genus by the very short labial palpi; but I think it wiser to include it here, than to make a new genus. Charters Towers: two specimens received from Mr. Dodd. 29. XYLORYCTA TAPEINA,7.sp. Male,24mm.; antennal ciliations, 3. Head, face, palpi, and antenne whitish. Thorax fuscous, irrorated with whitish scales. Abdomen ochreous-whitish.

Head, face, palpi,and antennew whitish-grey. Thorax grey. Abdomen ochreous. Legs whitish; anterior pairinfuscated. Forewings elongate, costa rather strongiy arched near base, thence straight, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; fuscous-grey, irrorated with dark fuscous scales; a broad snow-white streak along costa near base, ceasing rather abruptly beyond middle; some dark suffusion in basal part of disc; two fuscous dots placed transversely in disc at 3; hindmarginal edge barred with fuscous and whitish ; cilia dark fuscous ; some white scales about middle of hindmargin. Hindwings and cilia pale-grey. Coomera River, Moreton Bay: two specimens from larve tunnelling the stems of Melaleuca genistifolia. 'The specimens were unfortunately considerably damaged, so that the description may not — be accurate as to finer details. 31. XyLoryera striaata, Liv. (Cryptophasa strigata, Lewin, Ins. N.S.W.; Xylorycta strigata, Meyrick, 59.) Brisbane: found by ‘Mr. Illidge feeding in the stems of Banksia integrifolia. 32. XYLORYCTA HOMOLECA, Lower. Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1894, 91. Male and female, 31-35 mm.; antennal ciliations in male, 13. This is certainly very near X. orectis, Meyr., differing only in the total absence of ochreous tinge on head, thorax, and costal margins and the fuscous colouration of legs. In my specimens the forewings are snow-white. Charters Towers: three specimens from Mr. Dodd. Lower’s type was from near Duaringa. Mr. Dodd informs me that he found the larve feeding under a web on the bark of Cupania. 33. XYLORYCTA CANDESCENS, Lower. (Trans. Roy. Soc. 8.A. 1896, 163. I do not know this species. It is described by Lower from a specimen taken in Brisbane in December. 34. XyLorycra cosmopis, Meyr. Meyrick, 60. Antennal cilia- tions of male, 2. Brisbane: one specimen. I am not sure whether this species is distinct from the following. 35. XYLORYCTA ARGENTELLA, Walk. (Cryptolechia argentella, Walk. 750; Xylorycta argentella, Meyrick, 60.)

(Telecrates heliomacula, Lower, Proc. Roy. Soc. 8. A. 1894,92.) Antennal ciliations in male, 1. One specimen (Brisbane Museum): the locality is not recorded, but it was probably taken in the neighbourhood of Brisbane. 39. XYLORYCTA LETIORELLA, Walk. (Ocecophora letiorella, Walk. 677; Telecrates letiorella, Meyrick, 62.) Antennal ciliations of male, +. Brisbane: Mr. Illidge informs me that he has found this species commonly feeding on the inner bark of Hucalyptus (Stringy- bark), but bas never observed it to tunnel the stems. i 15 3. TYMBOPHORA, Meyr. 40. TympopHora PeLrastis, Meyr. Meyrick, 56. Brisbane: not uncommon. Mr. Illidge has observed the larve feeding on the back of a smooth-barked Hucalyptus. 4. HYLYPNES, n. g. Head with appressed hairs; ocelli absent; tongue well developed. Antennz moderate, in male filiform, with very long ciliations (5), basal joint rather stout, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint nearly as long as second, smooth, acute. Maxillary palpi very short. Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibie rough-haired above and beneath. Fore- wings with vein 1 long—furcate towards base, 2 from 5, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hindmargin, 11 from middle. Hind- wings 1, towards base below median and inner margin densely clothed with long hairs, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at base, tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 connected with cell at a point near base. Distinguished from Xylorycta by the very long antennal ciliations. 41. Hytypyes puptca, Lower. (Crypsicharis pudica, Lower, Proc. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1896, 164.) Male, 16-19 mm. Female, 20-23 mm. Antennal ciliations in male, 5. The sexes differ in shape of forewing. In male apex is obtuse and hindmargin rounded ; in female apex acute and hindmargin slightly sinuate. Brisbane: commonly taken among tropical forest growth. 5. LICHENAULA, Meyr. I regard this as the central and probably the largest genus of the family. Veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings are closely approximated at base, and it is not always easy to observe that they are really separate. This may often be most conveniently made evident by cautiously moistening the wing with spirit, and viewing it with a good lens by oblique light. In at least one species, L. choriodes, Meyr., these veins sometimes vary, in some abnormal specimens proceeding from a point or even being stalked. In the length of the antennal ciliations in the male, and in the termination of vein 7 of the forewings, there is con- siderable variation. Nevertheless, [ am of opinion that the genus should not be divided. The following is a tabulation of the Queensland species :— 1.

Forewings somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; pale fuscous confusedly irrorated with blackish-fuscous, and sometimes also with white scales ; a blackish-fuscous crescentic mark in dise at *; cilia fuscous, sometimes with a darker median line. Hindwings grey-whitish, fuscous tinged towards hindmargin; cilia grey-whitish, with a fuscous line at 4. To this species I refer two specimens, male and female, taken by Mr. Dodd, at Charters Towers, in which the forewings are without white irroration, and a brighter-coloured male taken by Mr. Dlidge in Brisbane. The former came from larve found on a species of Grevillea (?). 43, LICHENAULA GONIODES, 2.sp. Males, 24 mm.; antennal ciliations, 2; vein 7 of forewings to hindmargin. Head, face, palpi, and antenne white. Thorax white. Abdomen white ; posterior part of each segment reddish-fuscous. Legs whitish; anterior pair fuscous.

Hindwings grey ; towards apex whitish ; cilia whitish-grey ; at apex darker with a fuscous line before middle. Redescribed from the original type. Brisbane: reared by Mr, Tlidge from a larva tunnelling the stem of an unknown shrub. B 18 45, LICHENAULA UNDULATELLA, Walk. (Cryptolechia undulatella, Walker, 756 ; Lichenaula undulatella, Meyrick, 47.) Male, 17-20 mm. Female, 23mm. Mr. Tllidge has a variety of the male in which the whitish costal coloration extends beyond middle of disc, reducing the red-brown ground-colour to a minimum, and giving the specimen at first sight a very distinct appearance. Brisbane: Mr. Illidge has found the larve feeding in a tube among the leaves of Jacksonia scoparia (Dogwood), also of Acacia. 46. LIcHENAULA HAPLOCHROA, 2.sp. Male, 22-25 mm. Female, 31mm.

Hindwings pale grey; cilia whitish, becoming greyish towards anal angle. This species is a striking example of the deceptiveness of super- ficial characters. It so closely resembles Chalarotona craspedota, Meyr., that I at first mistook it for that species, and had no doubt that it was closely allied, until examination of the structural characters showed that the two were widely separated. Charters Towers: two specimens from Mr. Dodd, who says that the larve spin together the leaves of a species of Grevillea (?). 48. LicuENAULA PHLOEOCHROA, a.sp. Male, 19-24 mm. antennal ciliations, 3.

Charters Towers, Dawson River, and Duaringa: Mr. Dodd found the larva on Acacia. 65. Maroea unposa, Lucas. Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1893, 164. I am not quite sure of the distinctness of this species from Maroga mythica, Meyr. The peculiar shape of the forewings is identical in both, though the coloration appears different. Brisbane : the larve discovered by Mr. Illidge feeding on the bark and tunnel- ling the stem of Lugenia. 9. COMPSOTORNA, Meyr. 66. CompsotorNA oLigaRcHiIca, eyr. Meyrick, 41.

Male, 26-32 mm. Female, 30-40 mm. A very variable species. The variation consists partly in the greater distinctness and number of the transverse black lines, in particular one from costa at 2 to before anal angle, angulated in disc, is often present; partly also in the presence of conspicuous squarish whitish blotches in middle of disc and at anal angle. A very distinct variety has a conspicuous longitudi:.al black streak from first transverse line to hindmargin. Brisbane: Mr. Illidge has found the larve abundantly on the trunks, or larger branches, of several species of Eucalyptus, usually tunnelling the young wood on the edge of a fractured branch, or some other injury.

Posterior tibia in male smooth- scaled, in female rough-scaled above, smooth beneath. Forewings with vein 7 to apex or costa. Hindwings with 6 and 7 froma point or short-stalked.

I have omitted Proc. diplocentra, Meyr., 73, as of doubtful occurrence in Queensland. I have seen no specimens from this colony, and have one captured during a short stay in Hobart, Tasmania. As Mr. G. Barnard, from whom the type specimens were received, is known to have collected in this island, I think there may be some mistake in the locality, which is given as Duaringa.

A very interesting genus, being probably a remnant of a very ancient group, cf which the majority are now extinct.

THE late Lieutenant Governor of British New Guinea, Sir William Macgregor, enhancing, as usual with him, the value of his Annual Report to the Queensland Government for the year 1897-8 by record- ing in it much that is of scientific interest, teaches us, among other things ethnological, the construction and purpose of a kite which he found in use at Dobu, one of the islands of the d’Entrecasteaux group on the east coast. Had these Reports the circulation which, in the interest of ethnology and geography, should by all means be given to them, it would be simply an impertinence in anyone to reproduce their author’s information on this or any subject, but, unfortunately, they are but little known outside the pale of officialdom. It there- fore occurs to the writer that since he has it in his power to make this odd bit of untutored cunning more widely known by distributing, with a few explanatory remarks, a surplus store of the drawings of it which were prepared under his direction for the Report aforesaid, it is almost imperative upon him to take the first opportunity of doing so. It appears that the voyager among these islands may occasionally see, and not without surprise, a number of canoes dotting the sea, each tenanted by a single native who is apparently intent upon the amuse- ment of flying a little kite over the surface of the water. If his first thought should be the very natural one that he has here met with an instance of the use of one of the toys of his youth among grown-up savages, illustrating the doctrine that the uncivilised adult remains mentally very much on the level of civilised childhood, he will, to his further astonishment, find on inquiry that the Papuan is not as a child flying his kite for amusement, but for the very practical purpose of catching fish. How he manages to catch fish by means of a kite is open to explanation ; by what course of “‘ applied science” he was led to find that he could do so is a piece of knowledge which, perhaps, has slipped irrevocably behind the veil of oblivion. We might be content to say that it is done by means of a piece of cobweb attached to the tail of the kite, but the structure of the whole apparatus is of sufficient interest to warrant a fuller description of its parts. All the kites referred to in Sir W. Macgregor’s Report are approximately of the form depicted on Plate 1, and of the size indicated by the scale beside the figure. Each is composed of three large flat leaves of a tree which the Colonial Botanist, Mr. Bailey, is disposed to identify with Morinda citrifolia. Its basal and narrower portion consists of a single leaf placed stalk downwards, truncated at the apex, and here overlapped by the apical end of a second leaf, which is in its turn truncated at the base in order to form part of the upper A ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. edge of the kite. The third leaf is split down the middle, and each half is applied point downwards by an overlapping edge to a side of the second leaf to extend the lateral area to be presented to the wind, and, at its base, shorn off to preserve the horizontality of the upper edge, in which respect mainly the general form of the kite differs from that familiar to ourselves. The overlapping edges are “ basted ” together by passing through both of them at wide intervals, one of the long slender strips split from the leaf of a species of palm for which the natives find various other uses. The rigidity of the whole struc- ture so fashioned is increased by the application of other strips of the same materizl—one passing down the centre and lashed to the con- tiguous midribs of the leaves; a pair on each side of and securing between them the upper edge of the fabric ; another pair strengthen- ing in a similar manner the mid line of its upper division; a single strip threaded through the leaf at the base of that division ; and another across the middle of the lower division, the last being fixed merely by passing it between the midrib and the central longitudinal strip. The lateral edges of the kite are strengthened throughout by a double stitch of twine inserted well within the margin. When complete the kite is provided with five “wings.” These are short strips of pandanus leaf, sometimes swallow-tailed at the free end, attached by a piece of twine, from 70 to 80 mm. in length, to each end of the pair of upper cross stretchers and to the top of the middle longitudinalone. The kites vary in length from 560 to 720 mm., and in vreatest breadth from 200 to 290 mm. The flight-line is a two-strand fibre seining twine (as a seaman describes it), each strand composed of about 20 fibres, neatly spun, very light and strong, and long enough (‘not less than a fourth or even a third of a mile in length,” says our authority) to allow the kite to rise to the proper height at the distance desired. This line is tied to the central stretcher at its mid point with a knot within which is included a little roll of leaf (perhaps for luck), and with a loose end left long enough to reach to the bottom of the kite where it is again tied. The rest of the flight-line is, when unemployed, wound round a chunk or flat piece of wood, in the latter case more or less battledore shaped. Instead of a tail of the ordinary length is attached another very long line (“ from one to three hundred yards in length’’) of similar twine; this ends below in a peculiar tassel, and it is by virtue of this tassel that the kite becomes a piscatorial engine of a novel kind. The araneifauna of New Guinea contains a spider which, like that spoken of by Layard (“‘ Nature,” 1879, p. 456) in a note on the origin of the night-cap-like bags of New Caledonia, “ produces a very strong web.” Neither the spider nor its web, sent for identification, succeeded in reaching Brisbane, but in all probability it is one of the Nephilas. It would appear from Sir W. Macgregor’s account that the web of this spider is not collected in the same manner as that described by Layard. Plate 1, fig. 2, reproduces a drawing of the implement, made from memory by Sir W. Macgregor, who describes it as consisting of a cleft reed or bamboo, on which “the animal or a number of them is tossed . . . until a double tissue of web about 3 or 4 inches broad and 4 to 6 feet long is Bound MeN UL Sulystt afty PSN NEE Fane ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. 5 obtained.” Unfortunately, the specimen intended for the British New Guinea collection has failed to reach its destination, but it is evident, from the material we have, that the web becomes densely felted together, and thus fitted for the purpose to which it is put. On examination, it is found that a lock of the felted web, about 120 mm. in length and 10 mm. in thickness, is taken, tied in the middle of its length to the end of the tail-line, its ends brought into contact, and, ‘al some distance from their tips, joined together with twine ; a part of the twine is enclosed as a core, round which the rest is wound to form a pendant, hanging either within or below the extremities of the web tassel [Plate 1, fig. a]. The tassel so carefully and uniformly inade seems to be at once the bait to allure, and the snare to hold the prey of which the fisherman is in quest. The kite is raised just suffi- ciently to allow the tassel to reach the surface of the water, see PI. IL. ; the fish, attracted by the glint of the web, fixes its teeth in the felt, from which it is unable to dislodge them, is played (as we may suppose) by means of the kite, and (as we hear) is finally lifted into the canoe in a small triangular landing-net, mounted on a forked stick. What kind of fish are the victims of this device, and what weight of fish can be secured without injury to gear apparently so fragile, we are not informed. ‘This clever mode of fishing is also carried on from the shore. 6 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, Wo. 5. A FURTHER TRACE OF AN EXTINCT LIZARD. Of the formidable lizard to which on the evidence of a single fossil tooth the name Varanus dirus was assigned (Proceedings of the Royai Society of Queensland, Vol. 6, p. 98), no additional knowledge has been gathered from exploration until lately, owing to a long continued deprivation of the means of prosecuting field work of that or any other kind, which has been the lot of this Museum. In the early part of last year, however, it became possible to allow a collector, Mr. Broadbent, to make a brief excursion to his favourite fossil-hunting ground at Chinchilla, where, arnong the few objects of interest which titne permitted him to exhume, he obtained the bone which is the subject of the present note. As will appear from the drawing on Plate III.,it comprises almost the whole of a right maxillary, containing three entire teeth and the stumps of five others. In the conformation otf the jaw aud proportionate size of the teeth J. dirus appears to be more closely represented in life by the Papuan species, P. salvadorii than by any of the Australian monitors. The three teeth preserved are the third, fourth, and fifth; all the teeth, except, perhaps, the one foremost in the series, seem to have been equal in size, or nearly so, similar in shape, and set in close array with their bases in contact. In length and breadth this maxillary is about twice greater than that of an example of V. salvadoriz, which measures, in the skeleton, 7 feetin length. With proportionate means of offence, a trunk equal in bulk to that of a crocodile, and the voracitv of latter-day ‘“‘gohanners,” V. dirus would, to an unarmed man, be a formidable antagonist, and must have been, amongst others, an efficient agent in moderating the superabundant life of its times.

In the year 1886 there was submitted to the judgment of osteologists (Pro. Roy. Soc. Queensland) a fossil femur bearing unmistakeable marks of derivation from some member, or close ally, of that strictly predaceous family of the Marsupialia, the Dasyuride. The affinity then recognised has not, apparently, been called in question. The animal, of which the bone is a relic, had at that time left to us no other known trace of its existence, unless, perchance, there might be attributed to it those jaws of formidable name, whose pretensions to represent marsupially the “ king of beasts,” have been, and still are, so briskly, and from one point of view not altogether unjustly, oppugned—the jaws of Thylacoleo. Pending, of course, the discovery of teeth, not thylacoleonine, possibly to be found in skeletal association with a like femur, or the rise of some other objection nearly as cogent, it was then proposed to see in a bone of that size, proportions, and form a part of the almost unknown skeleton of the beast, over which science has waxed warm, if not weary; and, since a phytophagous Dasyure is a thing hardly to be thought of, to disregard for the nonce the indications of a dental system, shown by experience capable of leading to contradictory conclusions, in favour of those given by a concomitant limb-bone, taken to be co-specifi: with such teeth, and infer from it that Thylacoleo was no more a plant-eater than Thylacinus, to which, on the testimony of this femur, it was more nearly related than to any other Dasyure. Since that time two things have happened: one is that other femoral fossils from the same, and other bones from the same or a very like source, have been brought to light; the other is that time has shown itself kindly disposed towards this line of argument, discrediting though it does the vegetarianism of the beast, in that it has not disclosed the teeth of any other marsupial in size compatible with this femur, and claiming affiliation with the Dasyuridae. The second thigh-bone which has presented itself for study is, with the exception of the head, complete, and is in all respects, save in exact equality of size, identical with the one already described. Its entire length to the summit of its great trochanter is 12 mm. less, and it is proportionately narrower in the joints and slenderer in the shaft. A small reduction of size in all dimensions may be held to indicate sexual inferiority rather than distinction of species ; consequently the bone hardly calls for either detailed descrip- tion or portraiture here. Still less does the third example, the distal fourth of a specifically identical femur, which in its bad state of pre- servation serves only to support the others in showing that the rarity of their owners was not sufficiently.great to explain that entire absence of their teeth, which must be confessed if these are not to be seen in the much debated ones of Thylacoleo. The other bones showing relations with Thylacinus in an equal degree, and in size proportionate to the femurs, are portions of a right and left radius, part of a tibia, and three calcanea. Rapius.—Plate IV., figs. A, B. The only mammalian limb-bone which has a sufficient general resemblance to this to be at all eompar- able with it is the radius of Thylacinus shown in the intermediate 8 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. figure, but the amount of difference in form between the two forbids the slightest suspicion that the fossil may have come from a Thylacine, even could we easily imagine one of that genus some ten or twelve times the bulk of the lving species. The following are the most obvious points of divergence: The convex ridge which serves the purpose of the so-called “styloid process” of anthropotomy has in Thylacinus a very oblique direction across the long axis ot the shaft, more oblique than one would gather from the drawing. In the fossil its direction is parallel to that axis. The distal articular surface 1s at its ulnar end bounded by a pronounced tuberosity directed downwards; this feature, absent in Thylacinus, seems to be peculiar to its extinct relative. The shaft is compressed fore and aft like that of the dog, much broader than it is thick (27 mm. x 17 mm.), and of nearly the same breadth for the lower two-thirds of the part preserved ; proximad of this two-thirds it contracts rather suddenly. It is interesting to find on this bone muscular impressions that have much significan: ce; the extent of the origins of the pronator teres and supinator longus is strongly defined by terminal ridglets, while the surface for the supinator brevis extends downwards as low as the uncontracted part of the shaft, where, as it passed over the edge, its surface of attachment was increased by a protuberance on the margin of the bone—Plate IV., fig. A, 1. These indications of muscular activity in pronation and supination are to say the least not inconsistent with the possession and use of the great talon-cores attributed to the animal by Owen, and rather numerously represented in our collections ; they point to free play of muscular forelimbs in the prehension or retention of provender of whatever kind. The second sample of this bone being merely a much weathered distal end yields no further information, and may be passed over. Trpia.—Plate V., fig. A.—The tibia, which, in the absence of any other claimant, may very reasonably, if not necessarily, be attributed to Thylacoleo, is exemplified by a proximal end with about 50 mm. of the shaft. The general form of its articular surface approaches decidedly to that of the tibia of Thylacinus, and, so doing, departs widely from the forms established in other Marsupials. Outside of the Marsupialia, the one of those which are available for comparison that comes nearest to it is the tibia of the Viverrine carnivores. Of the shaft, all that need be said is that the surface for the insertion of the ligamentum patellae is without any marked protuberance. The articular surface differs little in proportion but much in detail of form from that of Thylacionus. Its maximum and minimum diameters are 61 mm. and 50 mm. ; those of Lhylacinus, 38 mm. and 380 mm. Difference of general form results first from the greater proportionate length as ‘well as breadth of the anterior tuberosity—Plate V., fig. A, 1—of which almost the whole anterior moiety was in the extinct animal occupied by the insertion of the patellar ligament. The great size of this tuberosity indicates, as in the kangaroos, uncommon power in the knee-joint, but that this power was not expended in saltatory swiftness is clear from the strong trend of the tuberosity outwards from the line of the thigh-bone (not oy TPuplacoveo Buse Lhyylacoleo ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. 9 sufficiently marked in the figure). The resulting inability to project the two parts of the leg in quite the same plane, or at least the ability to project them in different planes, must have affected the habitual gait of the animal, and not improbably had relation to some peculiar function of tbe lower leg. Of the two condylar surfaces that of the inner side is in Thylacinus—Plate V., fig. B, 1, of nearly - the same shape—namely, pointed ovate—as that of the outer side, and is not greatly the longer; in the fossil tibia the outer-surface is nearly circular, the inner oval and of so much greater longitude that its posterior margin extends backwards considerably beyond that of the outer. The extent of this surface is, of course, adapted to the unusual length of the inner condyle of the femur, and, it may be observed in passing, the mutual adaptation observable in this respect greatly strengthens the probability of the two bones being from animals of the same species. CatcaneumM. — Plate V., fig. D.— On comparing this bone with the heel-bones of the marsupials one by one no doubt remains, at least in the writer’s mind, of its Dasywridine affinities, while its tridimensional measurements—-nearly twice those of the largest existing Dasyure (Thylacinus)—compel him to ascribe to it the same origin as the proportionately-sized radius, tibia and femurs already referred to Thylacoleo. Among differential characters — certainly of generic, probably of higher value—the most noticeable are these: A distinct incurvation of the shaft, the absence of the oval facette on the edge of the cuboid articular surface of Thylacinus—Plate V., fig. C, 1— corresponding to the similar facette on the astragalus, and its replacement by an extension of the rough lateral surface—Plate V., fig. D, }— and a deeper and divided surface for the reception of the astragalus. It is evident from the curve of the bone that whereas the lower leg was directed outwards at the knee, the foot had the opposite direction, inwards, to a greater extent than in Thylacinus. Possibly these twists in the hind leg, slight though they might be, would be helpful to it if it habitually crouched over its food. However this may be, one thing is clear—that these bones, the two femurs, the tibia, radius, three caleanea (and to these may be added the number of ungual phalanges known) all belonged to a large Dasyuridine, and, therefore, predaceous animal. Those who on the evidence of teeth and cranium alone hesitate to see a beast of prey in Thylacoleo wili find of course no conclusive argument adverse to their opinion in the question—to what animal then, other than. Thylacolco, are these bones to be attributed ? With a certain degree of reason they may refer us to future discovery for the revelation of the real owner of them, even as they themselves, on the other hand, await the discovery of a skeleton of Thylacoleo showing kinship with a more or less frugivorous family. That these Dasyuridine bones are the first forthcoming may be due to a mere accident. But is it not within the pale of possibility that teeth and cranium may not in every case be the all sufficient criterion of affinity and habit? and what if it could be shown that the very teeth in question have probably done predaceous 10 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. work and recorded the fact on monuments left to us to decypher ? On aformer occasion those who are interested in the matter were asked (Pro. Lin. Soc., N.S.W., Vol. 8, p. 187) to accept a statement that tooth-marked bones are not unfrequently found interspersed among the fossils of the Darling Downs, and with it a suggestion that such bones bear evidence of maltreatment between the jaws of Thylacoleo, the cuts and bruises on their surfaces being fairly attributable to the action of the peculiar premolars of that animal. Up to that time no other teeth capable of producing the effects described were known, and the inference was a reasonable one, if only we could stand aside from the odontological dispute. No other such teeth have been subsequently discovered among some thousands eollected in the interval, and the inference appears still more reasonable. But by way of presenting the facts in a clearer light by an appeal to the eye, some illustrations of the injuries to which the bones have been subjected are now offered. On Plate VI., fig. A, we have delineated a part of an ulna of a large kangaroo. On the convexity of its anterior surface is a lunulate incision (1), conformable in its downward curve to that convexity ; the proximal edge of the incision shows a clean slanting eut through the dense outer table of the bone to the vertical depth of a millimetre ; the other the rough splintered surface from which the bone tissue was broken off by the stroke. This cut into the substance of the bone is clearly due to a vigorous use of some broad incisive instrument. Near the surface of fracture appears a smaller nick of the like nature (2), and nearly in opposition to it several scorings (3), evidently the marks of gnawing teeth, show where the division of the bone was ultimately effected. By what means was the cut (1) so cleanly made? The only two capable instruments known to me are the tomahawk and the tooth of Thylacoleo, The tooth of the dog was an incapable one, even were that animal on the spot at the time, which, as far as we know, it was not, The use of the human implement, were man also in existence then in Queensland, is positively denied, while that of the tooth of Thylacoleo is as positively affirmed by the second example. This (Plate VIL., figs. Ca. and Cb.) is a rib of a kangaroo exhibiting on one side two adjacent cuts each similar to the one before mentioned, and exactly opposite to them on the other side two correspondingcuts. ‘These latter prove incontestably that they and their opposites were made simultaneously by two chisel-edged shearing blades brought together with sudden force} for their sloping sides are inclined in opposite directions. Of precisely similar character are the cuts shown on opposite sides of a third fossil (Plate VIL, figs. Aa. and Ab.)—and if it were necessary or even possible, there might be figured quite a number of bones telling the same tale in like manner though with varying emphasis. From the surface of the bone figured on Plate VI., fig. C., two contiguous portions of the substance of the bone have been chopped out bodily. Plate VII., Figs.

On the inner side, opposite to this is another impression, Bb. 1, but shallower and with irregular vertical ridges and groovings just as clearly produced by the opposite tooth of the same jaw. The kangaroo mandible has unquestionably been grasped transversely by Thylacoleo jaws, which have vainly attempted to crush it between them. In addition to these signs of the work done by the premolars, the caniniform incisors of Thylacoleo have also left sufficient evidence of their destructive function. The subject of Plate VI, figs. B., a and b, is the distal end of a tibia. On one side of it is a deep circular pit, Ba, sunk through the substance of the bone by a conical body, which, in its passage, has thrust inwards the surface of the bone; opposite to this, on the other side, B b, are two similar pits. Pits like these are by no means infrequent, and can hardly be ascribed to any other agent than Thylacoleo. The ascription is, of course, open to the objection that they might have been caused by conical teeth other than those of Thylacoleo, crocodilian for example; but as on some bones they are found accompanying the transverse cuts—for example, on Plate VI., Fig. Ba—it is difficult to suppose that the two kinds of toothmarks had different origins. Whoever is inclined to think that the conclusions drawn from the two classes of data adduced in the preceding notes are as veritable as the facts on which they are founded are verifiable will have no difficulty is summarising the results as follows:—That in the old fauna there was a Dasyuridine animal of bulk commensurate with that of the skull called Thylacoleo; that this beast, though probably carnivorous, was also habitually ossivorous—in fact, a marsupial hyena; that the marks of its teeth upon bones are such as could be made by the teeth of Thylacoleo; that in the absence of positive proof, or indeed any evidence to the contrary, we cannot reasonably refuse to accept that kind of evidence in this case, which in so many analogous cases we allow to direct our judgment, circumstantial and inferential, and decide that Thylacoleo was a beast of prey belonging to or nearly akin to, the Dasyuride. In brief, one might suggest that, systematically, Thylacoleo shouid be placed under Dasyuride as a sub-family Thylacoleonina. 12 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5. DESCRIPTION OF A CHARMOSINOPSIS. A small gathering of Psittacine birds, the last collection brought from British New Guinea by the late Lieutenant-Governor, Sir W. Macgregor, has indeed served to increase the number of examples of certain species of the birds of that kind and place in cabinet, but, unfortunately, has its value diminished by infrequency of information about the specimens ; even the habitat being in the majority of cases unrecorded. Its contents are as follows .—- Microglossus aterrimus, one example, without label; Aprosmictus chloropterus, male and female, no label; Pstttacella picta, “ Wharton Range, at 11,100 feet, male, July, 1897, iris—lemon-yellow, beak—yellow, feet—dark erey, food—fruits ” ; Coriphilus placens, four males and two females, no label ; Cyclopsittacus suavissimus, ‘‘ Mambare River, male, July, 1897, iris—yellow, beak—dark grey, feet—dull green, food—fruits ” ; Geofroyus aruensis, male and female, 10 label; Charmosina stella, three examples, no label. In addition to these there is a Charmosi- nopsis, which, if previously collected, does not seem, as far as I can ascertain, to have been distinguished from C. pulchella, of the Astrolabe Mountains, with which, however, it can hardly be considered identical. Draqnosis. Charmosinopsis sp., male, with the thighs purplish-black and the yellow shaft-streaks confined to the pectoral region. Female, with yellow shaft streaks on most of the purplish-black feathers of the thigh. Young, with the nape and thighs green, and with a yellow band across the under surface of the wing. Probably the bird was met with on the Wharton Range, but no definite information to that effect accompanies the six examples collected—viz., two males, three females, and one of doubtful sex in immature plumage.

A NEW SPECIES OF HATIRY-NOSED WOMBAT. The existence of a wombat in this country is said to have been long known to bushmen living at certain points adjacent to the border of New South Wales. Occasional rumours of it have, indeed, during many years, reached Brisbane, but either they have died away—‘“‘a voice and nothing more’’—or proved, as usual, mere bruit of error, causing too often a wild-goose chase. A Queensland wombat was, therefore, to my mind, fast becoming a myth, when a letter from Mr. Gillespie, of Bullamon Station, on the Moonie River, told me that the skin of an animal, which he judged to be a wombat, had been brought to him by a dingo-shooter in his employ. In the absence of any suspicion that wombats on this side of the border would be anything other than pioneers of the New South Wales species spreading north- ward, Mr. Gillespie’s information only excited the hope that this species might be claimed as a constituent of the Queensland fauna. Greatly to my surprise I found, on receiving the skin, that it was from a quite different animal; in short, that if there were a known species to which it could be referred, it would be the P. latifrons of South Australia. The furry nose and silky fur of P. latifrons were clearly in evidence, yet, as the characteristic colour-marks given in published descriptions appeared to be wanting, the identification was imcomplete. But, as the apparent absence of these might possibly be due to the confusion of colours occasioned not unfrequently by the wrinkling of roughly dried skins, or, considering the geographical remoteness of St. George from the habitat of the southern species,* merely the result of local conditions, it could not, on the other hand, be said tu be distinct. While in this doubt I had the satisfaction of receiving from Mr. Gillespie, not only the bones appertaining to the skin, but the green pelt and carcass of a second example, and subsequently a third skull, the only part of the skeleton which he had been able to recover from an animal which had been drowned in a flood in the year 1891, some miles to the north of St. George. From these skins and skeletons there is no difficulty in determining that the wombat represented by them is distinct from all the three known species. Its rhinarium is hairy, its fur silky, and its ears elongate ; leading features in which is in strict accord with the southern species. The inner surface of its ears, indeed, is hairy, whereas that part in P. latifrons is said to be naked, yet this in fact is only a partial difference, for in an example of P. latifrons serving for the present comparison, the ear within is clothed in part with hair, similar to that forming an entire, though scanty covering of the skin in Mr. Gillespie’s animals. This same example of P. latifrons, a female, shows that two other features entering into the published descriptions of it, a white rhinarium and a black chin, are not really so, since they are both inconstant; only the middle of its chin is dark, and no part of its nose is white; variations in colour in virtue of which it is in further agreement with its northern relative. In general * Professor Stirling, in answer to an enquiry, is good enough to say: ‘* Referring to the distribution northward of the wombat, the furthest north I can hear of it is the Gawler Range, which lies north-west of Port Augusta, at the nead of Spencer’s Gulf. This is probably P. latifrons as we have only received P. Michelli from the south-east. —? é PhascotomySs J 1d Diy.

In the proportions of the head the two wombats differ distinctly, the Queensland animal having this considerably longer, and between the eyes broader, though between the ears no broader ; it is also longer in the body and shorter in the leg, but on such differences, also, it it not altogether safe to rely until they are known to be beyond the extreme limits of specific variability. From external characters, which, as far as we know, do not quite enable us to determine the question at issue, appeal lies naturally to the skull (Plate IX.). This leaves no room for doubt. Its characters in three examples of different ages and both sexes are as constant as those of any of the known species, and its differential features are scarcely less pronounced. ‘They are as follows :—Skull broader in proportion to its length than in the other species, frontal absolutely shorter, and nasals at the nasal orifice much broader; nasals extending backward [between the frontals, lachrymal protuberance well de- veloped ; nasal spine of the intermaxillary high and projecting ; all the nasal sutures, especially the naso-frontal, intricately interlocking. ‘ It will be observed that in the proportions of the skull, the shortness of the frontals, anterior breadth of the nasals, the project- ing nasal spine, and in the pronounced ramification of the naso- frontal suture,* the skull stands aloof from those of the other wombats;’in the cuneiform extension of the nasals between the frontals, and the greater prominence of the lachrymal tuberosity it agrees with the skulls of PP. platyrhinus and ursinus. Yet these signs of affinity with the naked-nosed wombats and these peculiarities of its own notwithstanding, its facies is that of P. latifrons. Exrernat CHaracters, Plate X. In the flat and wrinkled skin of an immature male with the fur close and comparatively long (25 mm.), the colour is a tortoise-shell- like mixture of deep fawn, black, and grey, the first predominating on the head and flanks, the black (caused by an excess of hairs largely tipped with black) on the back, and the grey on the abdomen and inver surface of the limbs; preocular region, middle of chin and perineal hair as in the female; inner surfaee of ears fawn; scrotal region white. Ina stuffed female of adult age with shorter and scantier fur, the general colour is grey, mottled with black where the black bases of the hairs show through, and washed with fawn, especially on the rump and back; rhinarium brown, passing into the colour of the upper surface ; a broad curved blotch before and a spot behind the eye black ; no white marks on the head; inner surface of ears, throat, chest, and mammary glands white; middle of chin, outer surface of * A minute corrugation of the edges of these ramification has been omitted in the figure, 16 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 5,. ears, forearm, feet, and perineum dark brown. Total ibnauk 1 020 mm., ear 85 mm., head to fore edge of ears 200 mm., between the eyes 113 mm. . In both sexes a sacral crest reaches the tail, and the perineal - hair is bristly. The four living species of Phascolomys now known seem to arrange themselves into two groups, distinguished as of old externally by harsh or silky fur, naked or hairy nose; internally by cranial dissimilarities and by a normal or abnormal number of ribs; but through the intervention of the new species more closely interrelated than we had previously any reason to suspect. As the features common to the two northern species point backward to a common ancestry, so do they point forwards to the two southern forms as their more or less modified descendants. A case of two related species Rreplaaine in widely-separated localities racial differences in the skull, while agreeing in those external characters which distinguish them from the rest of the genus, is not without interest. A craniologist comparing the skulls would hardly suppose that they came from animals so much resembling each other externally. Moreover, a lasiorhine wombat, with cranial features shared by the eymnorhine members of the genus, would appear to stand somewhere near the point of divergence, in a line of ancestry common to the naked and hairy-nosed species, and does not lose interest on He account. it Mr. Gillespie has so fully identified himself with the discovery ‘a this wombat, that it is but a measure of justice to him to endeavour to perpetuate the memory of his good offices by proposing for it the name Phascolomys gillespiei.

Pai ReEpPTILIA a Extinct AvVIFAUNA A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXTINCT AVIFAUNA OF AUSTRALIA. In April, 1902, about two hundred small bones, few of them perfect, were received for identification by the writer from Professor Gregory. They had been collected at several stations during the Professor’s geological examination of deposits around Lake Eyre, and by him were determined to be of Pliocene or Early Pleistocene age. It is of no little interest to learn that they were associated with the dingo, but not with man. Their general aspect and state of mineral- - isation are extremely like those of bones of birds from the Darling Downs. That they are of the same age as the latter is certified by the occurrence among them of species found in the Queensland locality, where neither dog nor man has yet been found. The attempt to draw attention to them now made has been delayed partly by an inspired hope that additional material would be forthcoming, and that some of the conclusions now resting upon meagre evidence would be thereby modified. In the absence of this means of correction, the writer submits the best account of the relics which he is able to render. Naturally, it will be to many a source of dissatisfaction that they can gain from such descriptions of bones little definite informa- tion beyond the fact that there once existed such and such hawks, ducks, pigeons, etc., all different from the species now living. Apart from the general resemblance in form, plumage, colours, habits, etc., to living birds of the same families or genera which the extinct ones, no doubt, possessed, we are altogether unable to learn or conceive anything respecting them. We should be very glad to know how the colours, black and white, were disposed on the old time Wonga Wonga and whether its flesh were as dainty as that of its descendant. We should also like to portray the noble Swan that once breasted the waters of Lake Eyre, but these and such like gratifications are among those that in the nature of things can never be ours. We must be content to simply specify the birds we meet, hoping that we may thus help future inquirers, furnished with increased knowledge, to trace out the relations of the avifauna with its predecessor and with the present one. The number of bird bones in the present collection retaining characters which enable one to identify them is one hundred and eight. There are, besides, ninety undeterminable fragments derived from birds, marsupials, and reptiles (Chelonians). 4 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 SUB-CLASS, CARINAT AK. FAMILY, FALCONIDA. TAPHAETUS de Vis. T. lacertosus n.s. HumeErvs.—The distal end of a right humerus Pl. L., fig. 1. Though the size of a bird bone is not in itself any indication of its affinities, there are limits within which it is a useful guide to them. In ‘he present instance we may give it due consideration. There are but few carinate birds in Australia which have a humerus over 25 mm. in breadth at the distal end. All told they are the pelican, swan, crane, jabiru, bustard, eagle (wedge-tailed), and sea eagles. To one or other of the families represented by these birds a fossil humerus 31 mm. in breadth may be safely referred, until it can be shown to belong to a bird now foreign to Australia. For the purpose of ascertaining to which of the families the fossil belonged, it is only necessary to glance at its leading features. Its proportions alone are nearly able to decide the question, the length of the joint measured from the level of the ectepicondylar process (a) is much less than its breadth across the condyles ; the probrachial or brachialis inferior area (b) is a cavity deeply sunken between the edges of the shaft; the popliteal fossa (c) is also, but less deeply, excavated; the ectepicondyle is tumid laterally, its process short but acute; the entepicondyle (d) is only so far oblique as to be directly continuous with the edge of the shaft; the ulnar condyle (e) bears across it, well but not sharply defined, the oblique ridge (f), so frequent in birds, and, in this instance, forming with the oblique edge of the non-articular part of the condyle a V shaped ridge; the condyles are narrow ; the radial extends proximad only to three-fifths of the length of the joint; on the postaxial side of the bone the extensor sulci (g) are remarkably broad and deep ; the olecranal fossa (2) is deep and well defined. With this bone the humerus in Pelecanus is irreconcilable, on account of the exceptional fore-and-aft thickness of the entepicon- dyle in the latter, the comparative shallowness and indefiniteness of its olecranal fossa, and the great length of its condyles, of which the radial extends proximad nearly to the level of the place of the ectepicondylar process were that developed. The part of the humerus in the Swan corresponding to the fossil differs from it in its small probrachial area, its shallow popliteal fossa, and the extension of its relatively large radial condyle beyond the end of the epicondyle, which again is devoid of @ process. No sign of relationship with the fossil is yielded by the Australian bustard, which has, moreover, the radial condyle large and reaching nearly to the level of the epicondylar end, the olecranal fossa small, and ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 5) the probrachial area superficial and partially ribbed. Nearly on the same grounds, with the addition of an ectepicondyle without a process, the bones in the Crane and in the Jabiru are incomparable with the fossil. In birds of the remaining family, the Falconide, the bone has so much in common with the fossil humerus that no doubt as to the affinity of the latter can exist. Compared with Haliaetus leucocephalus, it agrees in the relative shortness of its joint, proportions of its condyles, depth of its olecranal fossa, and development of its epicondylar process. But its differences from Haliaetus are strikingly great; from Uroaetus still greater. These have the probrachial area supe: ‘cial, the popliteal fossa shallow, the extensor sulci faint. Everything in the structure of the fossil conspires with the boldness of its sculpture to lead to the conclusion that it was part of an eagle not much larger than H. leucogaster, but of enormously greater power of flight, and when one recollects that the sea eagle can as it flies gorge on @ full-grown black duck, the weight of the prey which this extinct eagle could devour on the wing may be imagined. Locality, Kalamurina. QUADRATE.—Plate I., fig. 2—Except for the ioss of the orbital process (a), this is an entire and well-preserved bone from the right side. The presence of a deep circular pit (b) in the fore end of the base of the bone, for the reception of the quadratojugal, taken in conjunction with a large pneumatic foramen (c) on its posterior side below its distal articulating surface for the squamosal, and the breaking up of the posterior part of its mandibular articu- lating surface into two distinct facets, determines its relationship to the eagles. H. leucogaster has the quadratojugal pit and the foramen, and its ventral surface does not, as in many birds, afford to the mandible a continuous surface of articulation. Since, in this eagle, the length of the bone measured from the outer end of its squamosal articulation (d), to the point of junction with the pterygoid (e) is 20 mm., and in the fossil 22 mm., the latter represents a bird about as much larger than H. leucogaster, as the humerus gave us reason to expect. There does not, indeed, seem to be any reason why the fossil should not be attributed to Taphaetus, provisionally at least; and if this be admitted, the quadrate, one of the most characteristic of bones, amply affirms the justness of proposing for it generic distinction from other Australian birds of prey. Its squamosal surface, apart from minor points of difference, is on the whole similar to that of H. leucogaster. The foramen (c) distad of this is not, es in Haliaetus, divided by a deep septum, but is one large opening nearly one-third of the length of the bone, the quedratojugal pit is very wide and deep, more than 3.5 mm. in diemeter, the mandibular surface is divided by a broad and deep sulcus (f) into anterior and posterior regions, the anterior bearing on its lower face « quadrangular facet (7), which extends to the quadratojugal pit; the posterior is sub- 6 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 divided into three facets, two diversely declining from each corner— namely, a larger one on the outer side (7), and a smaller one facing in- wards on the inner side of the end for the pterygoid (&), and a smaller one (/), posterior to the others ; the middle of the outer ventral edge of the bone (m), which, in Haliaetus, is expanded in order to increase the articulating surface, performs the same service in the fossil, but is very much thicker and more protuberant. The owner of this quadrate was as strong in the beak as on the wing. Locality, Kalamurina. In the proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, Vol. 6, at p. 123, is a note proposing that the Eagle described in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland, Vol. 6, p. 161, under the name Uroactus brachialis should be removed to a new genus, Taphaetus, on the ground that an aquiline femur figured and described in the note, and assumed to be cospecific with the humerus, U. brachialis, could not belong to the living genus, Uroaetus. This proposal is largely based on the improbability of two large eagles co-existing in the same fauna and locality. Now that we have proof that two birds of the kind were contemporary, it seems advisable to restore brachialis to Uroaetus, the genus to which its humerus allies it. In placing the humerus and quadrate now described in the same genus as the femur of the note, the writer is led by a desire to avoid multiplication of names on insufficient grounds. The femur is 74 mm. shorter than that of a female of Uroactus audax, but this measurement is estimated after a con- jectural restoration of the condylar region, and may be somewhat defective. The humerus, on the other hand, is decidedly larger than that of Uroaetus audax. We must therefore either propose a new genus for the latter fossil. or regard Taphaetus as a rather short-legged eagle, a course which for the present seems preferable. ASTURAETUS N.g. ASTURAETUS furcillatus ns. TrsroTarsus.—Plate I., fig. 3.—A right tbiotarsus, wanting the cnemial crest, but otherwise well- preserved. A cnemial crest produced but slightly, if at all, proximad of the articular surface of the head, a fibula anchylosed to the shaft at its distal end as well as to the peroneal ridge, and a broad low distal joint with low ridged malleoli, of which the inner on the post axial side inclines ventrad at a much more acute angle than the outer—these features combined afford good guidance to the tibias of the Australian Faleconide, exclusive of Pandion. But to discriminate between the tibias of the genera wherein the bones are nearly the same in size and porportions—namely, Haliastur, Astur and Lophoictinea— is no easy matter, for these are all very much alike. Happily, it is not necessary to attempt to do so now, since the tibia of the extinct falconine bird named in the title is sufficiently distinguished from all of them by characters of its own, observable on its almost ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 i perfectly preserved distal end. Immediately proximad of the outer malleolus, the edge of the shaft is dilated, and is slightly curved forward, with the result that a distinct, though shallow, groove (a) is formed between it and the bridge for the extensor tendon ; the opposite edge of the bone is somewhat dilated in the recent genera, but in the fossil to a greater extent, and a deep groove (6) is formed between it and the foot of the extensor bridge. This edge is continuous with the sharp ridge-like edge of the shaft which descends from the inner anterior crest (c), the inner limit, I presume, of the flexor perforans muscle. The most peculiar feature of this tibia is the structure of the extensor bridge. This is Y shaped, the fork of the Y arching widely over the inlet orifice, and its stem separating two outlets (d and e), one at the proximal end of each malleolus. It would seem from this that the extensor tendon divided beneath the osseous loop, a circumstance I have not before met with. Whether this is an abnormality in the species or a constant character in the genus, time alone will show. As to the relations of the bird we might, judging by its proportions, affiliate it to Astur. It has exactly the same thickness of shaft as in A. novehollandie, but it is 5 mm. longer. But in structure it approaches more nearly to Nisaetus, which has a similarly wide and deep extensor sulcus, a dilatation of the shaft near the inner malleolus, and a flexor perforans ridge on that edge of the bone. The hawk seems therefore to stand somewhere between the Goshawk and the Little Kagle. Locality, Lower Cooper. Loc. 5. Baza gracilis n.s. Humervus.—Plate I. fig. 4-——A very imperfect humerus from the left wing, consisting chiefly of the shaft, with remains of the condyles at the distal end. I am led to attribute this bone to a member of the Falconide, mainly by the position and extent of the pectoralis scar (a), and of so much of the anterior crest as still surmounts it, by the curvatures of the shaft, the status of the epicondylar tuberosities, and by the relative size of the radial condyle as is indicated by its remains. Among the hawks, with a humerus of corresponding size—that is, of the smaller kinds—Baza subcristata seems on the whole to have the greatest likeness to the fossil, and to have an uncommon feature, which it might well have received from the extinct bird. Pending correction by future discovery, the two may fairly be considered to be congeneric. The head of the fossil is broken off at the proximal end of the pectoral scar, which has much the same form and extent as in B. subcristata, but is more on the dorsal edge of the bone, and is separated by a well-marked sulcus from the base of the anterior crest. At the distal end, the ulnar condyle is, with the part adjacent, almost entirely destroyed ; the radial condyle, fortunately in great part preserved, does not nearly extend to the level of the ectepi- condylar tuberosity (c), from which, as in Baza, a transverse ridge 8 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 is carried to the edge of the probrachialis area. This, in the fossil, is more pronounced, and on reaching the area curves suddenly proximad and vanishes. It is the feature to which reference has. been made. The popliteal fossa is shallow, but the probrachialis area is deeper and more clearly defined than in the recent species ; its surface is rough, but not longitudinally striated. On the postaxial surface the sulci for the extensor tendons are also deeper and better defined. The length of the fossil is 61.5 mm., the breadth of the shaft is 5.5 mm. at the narrowest, of the distal end, 14.5 mm. Locality, Lower Cooper. Loc. 6. FAMILY COLUMBID. LEUCOSARCIA prcevisa n.s. HumeERvus.—Proximal half of a bone of the right side minus. a part of the imternal and of the external tuberosities. (Plate I., fig 5a). This portion of the pigeon wing is recognised at once by the shallowness of the subtrochanteric fossa (b), and by the short, blunt, and triangular external tuberosity (a). The fossil is in generic agreement with Leucosarcia, but represents a more delicately formed species... Its capitum is proportionately smaller, and its shaft comparatively much attenuated, but its sulcus transversus (d) is considerably deeper, its incisura capitis (e) wider, and the cribriform plate of its subtrochanteric fossa is pierced by more numerous and larger: foramina. These seem to be sufficient differences to warrant specific distinction. Locality, Wurdulumankula. ORDER LIMICOLA. OCYPLANUS n.g. QO. proeses n.s. TARSOMETATARSUS.—Plate I., fig. 5b., represents the distal end: with a part of the shaft of a right tarsometatarsus. The leading discriminative characters of this bone are, first, the absence: of any trace upon the shaft of a first metatarse ; second, a great inequality in the prolongation of the free ends of the metatarsals. From this combination of features it results that the great majority of the families of Australian birds are withdrawn from consideration. In brief, we are reduced by it to compare with the fossil the following only—the ducks, grebes, and certain of the Limicole. The ducks. are in general agreement, but have the metatarse commonly short and strong; in no case are its proportions like those of the fossil ; it is impossible to obtain the metatarsal index of the latter, but it is evident from the fragment of it preserved that the length and slenderness of the entire ‘bone would deny its derivation from a duck. ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 9 Moreover, the vascular perforation near the end of the bone is, in the ducks, situated between the bases of the pedicels of the second and third trochleas, the bridge between the pedicels being very short, whereas the perforation is, in the fossil, at a great distance from the free ends. The same two objections apply to the grebes, but the latter of them with less force, since the perforation is in them not so far distad as in the ducks. We first meet in the Inmicole with bones similarly conditioned to the fossil as to structure and proportions, but not as to size. The breadth of the fossil across the trochleas is 12.5 mm., of the shaft, 5 mm.; in the Stone Plover the former is 11.5 mm., of the shaft at the same point, 4. Burhinus approaches it then most nearly in size, but in form is quite different. The shaft of the fossil expands gradually to its greatest trochlear width; in Burhinus the trochlear expansion is sudden. There is, in fact, no genus of the Limicole known to the writer into which this metatarse can be admitted. It therefore becomes a question whether to designate it Gen. et sp. ind., or to give it a name. Yielding to the persuasion that the latter course will be more convenient to students of the subject, the writer proposes for the bird the n>mes given above. FAMILY CICONITDA. - XENORHYNCHUS nanus de Vis. Trp1a.—The distal fifth or less of the right tibia. Unfortun- ately this second example of the tibia adds nothing to our informa- tion about this smaller Jabiru than that it attained a rather larger size than the tibia already described warranted us in attributing to it. In that bone the greatest width across the trochleas was 14 mm., in the present one it is 15 mm., and all the parts of the bone are proportionately larger. It is not thought at all necessary to give a figure of it. Locality, Wurdulumankula. XENORHYNCHOPSIS Ng. The differentiating features which seem to demand the separa- tion of this genus from Xenorhynchus consist,—(i.), in a peculiar addition to the tuber which at the distal end of the tibia increases the articulating surface of the fossa for the reception of the inter- condylar process of the tarsometatarsus. The tuber itself (Plate L., fig. 6 A, B, C) is much as in Xenorhynchus, but proximad of it rises a short thick*subpyriform tubercle (fig. A. (a), which, as it were, forms a buttress to the base of the tuber ;—(ii.) of a different form of the condylar surface viewed end on (fig. B.); that of the new genus being shorter in proportion to its breadth, and having its inner trochlea (fig. B (a) relatively much smaller than and more remote from the outer ;—(iii.) in the scar on the outer surface of the shaft near the malleolus in Xenorhyn- 16 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 chopsis being a long groove (fig. C(b) extending distad to the ‘ middle of the side of the malleolus. Of these Jabiru-like birds, there seem to have been two species, a larger and a smaller. XENORHYNCHOPSIS tibialis n.s. From this species we have two examples of the distal ends of tibias of opposite sides. That from the right leg, the one figured, is from a bird as nearly as possible equal in the size of the part to an ordinary Jabiru of to-day. The left tibia is from a rather large individual, but is rather more imperfect, and has no part of the shaft attached. Locality of both examples, Lower Cooper. i XENORHYNCHOPSIS minor N.s, Tip1a.—Distal end of a right tibia (Plate II., figs. 1 A, B). Since individuals of the present Jabiru do not vary very much in size, it would not, without reason to the contrary, be right to assume that an extinct bird of the kind did so. Necessarily, then, a bone indicating an individual only two-thirds of the dimen- sions of Xenorhynchopsis tibialis must be taken to represent a second species. The malleoli of the Xenorynchopsis tibialis tibia measure at their widest extent 19.5 mm., those of the present bone 13 mm. The shaft of the latter shows an even greater difference, being but 7 mm. against 10 mm. in Xenorhynchopsis tibialis. A specific character still less open to doubt is the form and extent of the lateral groove (Fig. 1 Ba), which is relatively much shorter and more oblique. Locality, Unduwampa. TARSOMETATARSUS.—Imperfect trochleas of the right foot (fig. 1 C). This bone, which indubitably belongs to the Crconide and does not belong to Antigone, can only be referred on account of its size to Xenorhynchus nanus or Xenorhynchopsis minor. In the shattered state of the fragments, it is impossible to place it in the latter genus with certainty, but the balance of probabil- ities seems to incline that way. Locality, Wurdulumankula. FAMILY.IBIDID. Ipis (?) conditus n.s. Fremur.—A left femur injured in the head, neck, trochanters and both trochleas (Plate II., fig. 2 A, B).—Notwithstanding the damages the bone has suffered it retains enough character to show that it formed part of one of the [bidide, for to this family we are led by the absence of a pneumatic foramen, the presence of a moderately raised trochanter, and by its relatively stout pro- portions. In these it is assimilated to Carphibis spinicollis rather than to any other member of the family available for com- parison. It is slightly shorter than in a small example of that ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 ait species, but no slenderer in the shaft ; the head and neck are con- siderably narrower, the tubercle for the loop of the biceps cruris, ° present in other [bidide, appears in this species to be nearly obsolete, scarcely marked off from the outer condyle, but the median tubercle (Fig. 2 Ab), proximad of the popliteal space, is largely developed, and is followed distad by a sharply curved line partially enclosing a low eminence, an arrangement which does not appear to occur in other Australian members of the family. The foramen beneath the neck is minute. Locality, Wurdulumankula. This species is placed in the genus Ibis provisionally. It will probably not remain there when its structure is better known. FAMILY ANATIDAL. To judge from the contents of the collection under study, Swans were among the more numerous of the birds that frequented the old lake; next to the Cormorants they were the most numerous. Their bones are seventeen in number. There appear to have been two species—a rather dwarfish one, which can hardly be separated generically from the present black swan, and a portly one which has claims to be brought apart in a generic niche of its own. The bones which may be brought forward in support of its claim are these: the coracoid, humerus (two)—radius, and ulna of the wing; the femur (two), tibia, and metatarsus of the leg. These it is proposed to notice under the name ARCHZOCYONUS lacustris n.g. and sp. Coracoip.—Distal hali or less of the coracoid of the left side, minus the external angle of its base (Plate III., fig. 1 AB). The supracoracoideal surface (Ab,) is separated from that external to it by a longitudinal ridge, which is much more convex and pronounced than that in the Black Swan, Chenopis, and does not bear on its summit a raised limiting line of muscular attachment. The articulating surface for the groove of the sternum is more concave, and notwithstanding that it is a little imperfect at both ends, markedly greater in both its dimensions. The oblique ridges on the visceral surface of the bone are less regular and numerous, thinner, more sharply raised and less continuous. The breadth of the shaft at its point of fracture is sensibly the same as in C. atrata. Locality, Lower Cooper. So far as the structural characters of a coracoid allow one to judge, we may suppose this swan to have had a broader and deeper breast, itself indicating a larger body than, the present one, but, perhaps, no greater power of wing. Humervus.—Two distal ends, a right and a left, of this bone (Plate III., fig. 2 A and B) are distinctly those of a swan, but un- luckily are not sufficiently perfect to afford us as much information as we could wish. Thev differ not a little in form from the recent 1 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 bone, in which the entepicondyle is prolonged distad so far as to: give to the distal contour of the bone an approximate squareness, which is altogether wanting in the fossil. The radial tubercle (trochlea radialis) (c) is comparatively small in the extinct bird, and the m. probrachialis impression is much deeper. A tubercle for the insertion of ligament (Fig. Aa) rises proximad of the entepi- condyle in P. lacustris, in the living bird the insertion is into an oval depression on the unraised surface of the bone. In size these bones do not exceed the dimensions of large examples of C. atrata. Localities, Lower Cooper and Kalamurina. Rapius.—Proximal fourth of a right radius (Plate III., fig 3). This has all the distinctive marks of a swan’s radius, which can hardly be mistaken for that of any other bird of similar size. It is clearly not that of C. atrata. Its shaft is equally strong, but its articulating cup (Fig. 3B) is smaller. The shaft also differs in form, being more distinctly trihedral. Locality, Wankamaminna. Uxtna.—Plate IIT., fig. 4.—Distal third of a right ulna. This, in its present abraided condition, is scarcely distinguishable from that of C. atrata, and suggests nothing worthy of record. Fremur.—Plate III., fig. 5—The proximal three-fourths of a right femur recognizable by means of its size and proportions, and by the presence of the small round foramen a short distance distad. of the neck on its postaxial surface. The head and adjacent part are much corroded, and fail to yield any information. The shaft is considerably stouter than in a large C. atrata. There are remains. of a well-developed pectineal tubercle. The linea aspera is a very low rugose ridge. Locality, Undwampa. The proximal half of a left femur of similar size has on the post- axial aspect the uneven surface beneath the trochanter as_ well pronounced, but of a different pattern, to that of the present swan. The adductor magnus limiting ridge is in this example extant. Locality, Lower Cooper. These leg bones indicate a heavier bird than the present swan. Trpra.—A distal half of a left tibia (Plate III., fig. 6 A b). The shaft is equal in breadth to that of a large C. atrata, but the depth across the outer condyle (Fig. B) is much less, and the two condyles are of the same length or very nearly so; the bridge over the ext. dig. communis tendon (Fig. A b.) is much narrower. In other respects the bone resembles that of Chenopis. Locality, Malkuni. TARSOMETATARSUS.—Plate III., fig. 7 A, B.—A proximal end from the left foot, the same size as in a female of C. atrata. The ridge for the tendon Achillis is missing (Fig. 7A a), the other ridges (b c) separating the grooves for the deep peroneal and flexor profundus are better developed than in the recent swan. Part of the insertions of the tibialis anticus are evident in front; the ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 13 articulating surface for the outer malleolus (Fig. 7B a) 1s some- what more extended ventrad. Locality, Wurdulumankula. VERTEBRA.—A moiety of a cervical vertebra, very imperfect, merely preserving the centrum and neural arch in part. In the large and deeply locked sternocoracoideal joint, in the obliquity of the entepicondyle of the humerus, the presence of the isolated tubercle proximad of it, and the smallness of the radial condyle, in the trihedral form of the shaft of the radius and relative smallness of its head, in the absence of a definite linea aspera from the femur, and in the strength of the ridges protecting the passage of the flexors of the foot, we may, in these differences taken together, see reason to believe that these bones would be wrongly ascribed to a Chenopis. GENUS CHENOPIS. CHENOPIS nanus Ns. Coracorp.—Plate II., figs. 3 A, B.—Proximal three-fourths. of a left coracoid 74 mm. broad across the shaft. In an ordinary black swan the shaft is at the least 11 mm. in breadth. The fossil therefore represents a bird rather more than two-thirds of the size of the living species. It has all the well-known features. of a swan’s coracoid, and offers nothing but size as a means of discrimination. Locality, Lower Cooper. Humervus.—Plate IT., fig. 5.—Distal fifth of a right humerus, 221 mm. in its greatest breadth, against 26 mm. in the smallest humerus of C. atrata available. The ulnar tubercle (trochlea. ulnaris) (fig. a.), and the radial (trochlea radialis) (fig. b.) are both relatively small, the ectepicondyle is at its proximal end much less prominent, the probrachialis impression (fig. c), more contracted and deeper. Most of the postaxial surface of this bone is lost. Locality, Lower Cooper. Trp1a.—Plate II., fig. 6—Distal fourth of a left tibia about. 2 mm. narrower at the joint than the least breadth in the Black Swan, but as much broader in the shaft at its point of fracture. The bridge over the extensor tendon is broader than in C. atrata. Locality, Lower Cooper. TARSOMETATARSUS.— Plate II., fig. 7.—Distal half of the bone of the left foot, the trochleas very imperfect. The osseous. bridge between the third and fourth metatarsals in -place; the shaft wider by 1 mm. at its point of fracture than in C. atrata. From this measurement and from the presence of a line of junction on the shaft between the third and fourth metatarsals, it seems quite possible that this bone may be from a young Archeocycnus lacustris. Locality, Malkuni. Fe’ Distal half from the left foot; no bridge between the third and fourth metatarsals ; line of junction between these metatarsals 14 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 not obliterated ; breadth of shaft 7$ mm. Locality, Wurdulu- mankula. Prtvis.—Plate II., fig. 4.—Mesial part of the axis of a pelvis comprising the ischiadic, sacral, and many of the postsacral vertebre, too imperfect to yield any characters of specific value. Locality, Unduwumpa. BrziuRA exhumata de Vis. HumeErRus.—Plate IV., figs. 1 A, B.—Proximal half of left humerus. Compared with the humerus of B. lobata, the following differences are manifest : The bone is larger, but not greatly so; the incisura capitis (fig. B,a.) is narrower, the capitum (figs. A and B b.) is more globular, the notch between it and the tuberculum externum (fig. A,c.) deeper ; the crista superior (figs. A. and B,d.) is stronger and higher; the pneumatic foramen larger, and its lip (proximad) more arched ; the shaft is 1 mm. broader, but is not thicker. Locality, Malkuni. Tip1a.—Plste IV., fig. 2.—Distal half of a right tibia. The only prominent feature differentiating this from the corresponding part in B. lobata is the comparative shortness of its mtercondylar sulcus; were it from the opposite side, it would make a perfect joint with the tarsometatarsus of the bird from the Darling Downs, elsewhere described. Locality, (?) Prxvis.—Plate IV., fig. 3—A large part of the preacetabular region of a pelvis forward from the fore edge of the right acetabulum, but without the iliac fovea. The vertebral hypapo- physes form a deep keel, having its edge undulated, but not interrupted or pierced with foramina; length from edge of acetabulum 47.5 mm. Locality, East of Pirani. It is curious that the musk duck, now one of the most solitary of the whole tribe, should be found associated with so many other waterbirds, both in South Australia and Queensland. One is tempted to think that the habit of isolation, so marked in the living species, is asymptom of generic decay, a decay which our occupation of its haunts will rapidly turn into extinction. - ANAS gracilipes n.s. Coracoip.—Plate IV., fig. 4 A, B.—A fairly well preserved left coracoid, 38 mm. in length, similar in size and proportions to that of Anas (Nettium) castanea, from which it differs in the following points: The acromial process (fig. 4a.) is much slenderer ; the humeral facet or glenoid cavity is concave dorsad, but convex ventrad; the scapular facet is deep and cuplike ; the visceral surface of the base of the shaft is traversed by two oblique ridges, which are continuous (fig. 4c); the articulating surface for the sternum is but slightly reverted at its inner end fig. 4b.). Locality, Lower Cooper. ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 15 TARSOMETATARSUS.—Plate IV., fig. 5 A, B.—A bone of the right foot, 35 mm. in length. This is somewhat (1 mm.) shorter than the smallest corresponding bone of Anas punctata with which it may be compared. Though evidently related, the two bones differ much. The shaft of the fossil is broader in the middle than the other, and consequently its edges are more nearly parallel one to the other. Its trochleas are narrower and longer; the third (fig. 4a.) is produced beyond the fourth ; the second rises from the shaft in a long ridge proximad. The longitudinal ridges on both aspects of the shaft are very prominent, indicating much more capacity for an active employment of the foot than is given to the living bird. Locality, Kalamurina. Anas (NEtTTIUM) strenua n.s. Humervus.—Proximal four-fifths or somewhat less of a left humerus (Plate IV., fig. 6). As this bone approaches in form most nearly to that of the Teals among recent ducks, it may be consigned temporarily to the genus Nettxwm. In dimensions it agrees with the humerus of the Shoveller, Spatula rhynchotis, but from this it diverges in the direction of the Teals in its relatively small capitum and in the shape of its pneumatic foramen, whose opening is less rotund and more lenticular. Length, 62 mm. ; breadth across the proximal end, 18 mm. Locality, Patteramordu. Distal third or less of a left humerus, which may possibly have belonged to the preceding. This part of the bone is also in agreement as to size with the part in Spatula rhynchotis, but is at once differentiated from it by the inferior size of its trochleas, especially that of the radial (Plate IV., fig. 7a.), and by the depth and length of the sulcus between the trochlea and the adjacent epicondyle (b). Locality, Patteramordu. Nyroca effodiata n.s. Humervus.—Plate IV., fig. 8—Extreme distal end of the right humerus of a duck of small size. Though more nearly approaching to the hardhead (Nyroca) than to any other living duck, the propriety of adding it to that genus is doubtful, not so much on account of inferiority in size, and consequently great inferiority in that respect to its contemporary N. robusta, but because of a somewhat different shape of the bone on its ulnar extremity. This is more produced distad in N. australis, the ulnar condyle and its epicondyle forming an oblique instead of a right angle with the long axis of the shaft. The probrachial impression, of which part is preserved, extends distad beyond the proximal end of the radial condyle, and it is separated from the tendon facet distad of it by a narrow and rather high ridge (a), the tendon facet itself is concave, as in N. robusta, not flat as in the living Nyroca. The greatest breadth 16 ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 ‘of the fossil across the condyles is 11.25 mm., against 12.75 in N. australis. Locality, Wurdulumankula. NETTAPUS eyrensis 2.5. HumeErvus.—Plate IV., fig 9.—Distal third of right humerus. ‘The first evidence of the antiquity of the Pygmy Geese which- has occurred to me.: It is but a small fragment, but it retains enough character to shew its affinity with the genus and distinctness from the living kinds pulchellus and albipennis. It may be recognised by the form and direction of the probrachialis impression (a), which in the living birds is broad and inclined but little from the longitudinal axis of the bone, this in the fossil is a long narrow tract much inclined to that axis. Between the distal ends of the tract and the radial condyle is a distinct smooth transverse concavity (b), which, in the recent bone, is not found, and beyond the end of the tract on the entepicondyle is a round scar (d) for insertion of ligament, replaced in recent bones by an imperfectly flat surface. The old pygmy goose appears to have been of the ‘same size as Nettapus albipennis. Locality, Lower Cooper. Coracoip.—Plate IV., fig. 10.—Fragment of upper end and part of shaft of a right coracoid of a Nettapus, which accords in size with? the humerus above described. With the exception of the tip of the acromoidial process, the bone, so far as it goes, is fairly entire. Locality, Lower Cooper. FAMILY STEGANOPODES. PELECANUS grandiceps n.s. QUADRATE.—Except for the loss of the orbital process, a ‘fairly well preserved bone of the left side (Plate V., fig.1 A,B). This must have been derived from a distinctly larger bird than the present P. conspicillatus. At its base along the mandibular articulation, it measures 26.5 mm., the quadrate of the living bird only 22mm. Its height from the anterior end of the base to the end of the surface for the squamosal, is 36 mm. against 30.5 mm. in P. conspicillatus. The head of this fossil pelican was therefore one-fifth longer than that of the present one. It would probably be about 21 inches in length (534 mm.) Structurally, it of course much resembles the quadrate of a modern representative of the genus, but there are peculiarities about it which may be thought to shew that it is not identical with any of them. The suzface of the bone is thrown into much deeper tracts and higher ridges. The cavity for the pterygoid articulation (c) is on its inferior margin scarcely delimited, the ridge of the orbital process (d) failing to descend upon the anterior end of the mandibular process, and so separate the cavity from the outer surface. The foramen at the ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 17 middle of the base of the orbital process externally is comparatively very small; the squamosal articulation very broad. On the hinder surface of the bone, a little below the squamosal process, low ridges, which proceed from each end of that process, meet and form together a descending ridge. Locality, Lower Cooper. Coracoip.—Plate V., fig. 2.—A fragment of a left coracoid exhibiting a great part of the precoracoid process, with the foramen for the supracoracoideus nerve, evidently from a large pelican, but too scanty to supply further information. Locality, Lower Cooper. TARSOMETATARSUS.—Plate V., fig. 3.—Part of the distal end of a left tarsometarsus, shewing the third and most of the fourth trochleas. The third trochlea is 19 mm. long, in P. conspicillatus it is at the most 17 mm. It seems to have been of nearly the same form from its proximal end, where, between the rotular prominences, it commences in a shallow, but distinct cavity. Locality, Lower Cooper. PELECANUS proavus de Vis. Frmur.—tThe distal end of a right femur entire on the trochlear aspect, imperfect on the preaxial (Plate V., fig. 4); in general configuration premonitory of modern pelicans, in size, 29 mm. across the trochleas against 30.5 mm. in an average example of P. conspicillatus. It is in the inferior size of the trochleas that the most striking difference presents itself; in P. conspicillatus the longitudinal extent of the ulnar is 21.5 mm., of the radial 16.5 ; in the fossil the ulnar is 18, the radial 14.5. There is also a large difference in the condition of the ectepicondylar region; in the extinct bird it is comparatively narrow and rather deeply sunken between the trochlea and the ectepicondylar edge, the cavity formed extending distad nearly two-thirds of the length of the trochlea (fig. A,a). In the living pelican the surface is convex to near the proximal fourth of the trochlea, where a comparatively small cavity is situated. Locality, Lower Cooper. Tipia.—Distal end of a right tibia (Plate V., fig. 5). With the exception that the bridge over the ext. dig. com. tendon has never been completed, there is nothing in this fragment to distinguish it from a corresponding fragment from the extinct pelican. Locality, Lower Cooper.. Prorus laticeps n-.s. Crantum.—Short of all accessories (Plate VI., fig. 1).
