Abstract
THE Royal Society of Victoria, which has hitherto issued only an octavo volume of Proceedings each year, will in future publish also Transactions in quarto. The present memoir is the first part of this new series; the style in which it is printed and the excellent plates seem to promise that the Transactions will be quite on a level with any journal published in Europe. The illustrations are, indeed, unnecessarily large; but this cannot be pointed to as a fault—at least by those who are not responsible for the cost.
The Anatomy of Megascolides australis (the Giant Earthworm of Gippsland).
By W. B. Spencer. Transactions of the Royal Society of Victoria, Vol. 1. Part 1, pp. 1–60, 6 Plates. (Melbourne: Stillwell and Co., 1888.)
