By W. Skey, Analyst Geol. Survey of New Zealand (5.) “On Silver Ore from Stewart's Island,” by W. Skey. Being the result of the analysis of a specimen of quartz gangue containing six ounces of silver to the ton, associated with iron pyrites, —no gold was found. The vein is from the junction of fine grained

granite with-blue slate, and has been discovered by a prospecting party fitted out by Mr Daniels, of Riverton. (6.) “On the Anatomy of the Tuatara (Hatteria punctata),” by F. J. Knox, L. R. C. S. E. (See ante, p. 16.) This paper gives, as the result of the dissection and preparation of two specimens which were exhibited, the points in the anatomy of this interesting lizard, where the author had found it necessary to differ from the memoir by Dr. Gunther on the same subject. Both the specimens examined by the author were, however, females, while the single specimen dissected by Dr. Gunther was a male. Some of the differences the author was almost inclined to regard as characteristic of a different species.
