Excerpt from Catalogue of the Australian Stalk-and Sessile-Eyed Crustacea The object aimed at in the present Work, which, it is intended, will be followed by others of a similar character, has been to present a complete Catalogue of all the Stalkand Sessile-Eyed Crustacea, so far as these are at present known, with a description of each species, as well as of the tribes, families, and genera. The need of such compilations is much felt in Australia, on account of the absence in the Colonies of complete scientific libraries, and the consequent difficulties experienced by those studying the science of zoology in any of its branches, in obtaining access to original memoirs. It is hoped that the present Catalogue will not only afford a guide to the Museum collections, but will also prove a great boon to students of this branch of systematic Zoology, throughout the Australian Colonies generally. A work of the present kind cannot lay claim to much originality, - the greater number of the descriptions having already been published elsewhere; but many of the species enumerated have not previously been recorded as inhabitants of Australian waters, and a very large number of new Australian localities for known Australian species are now here published for the first time. A short Introduction describing briefly the chief structural characteristics of the Stalkand Sessile-Eyed Crustacea, has been added, and will, it is hoped, prove useful.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Australian Hydroid Zoophytes Like the Catalogue of the Crustacea, the Catalogue of the Hydroid Zoophytes is issued by the Trustees with a view not only to affording a guide to the collections of the Museum, but also to providing students of natural history in Australia with a compact account of all that has been done hitherto in the description and illustration of the Australian representatives of this group. Prefixed to the systematic portion of the Cata logue is a general Introduction on the morphology of the Hydroida. The Catalogue itself contains also a large amount of new matter, which, with the numerous plates, illustrating a large proportion of the species, will, it is believed, render it a.
