Abstract
I READ with much interest the letters of Prof. G. H. Darwin and “J. H.,” NATURE, vol. xxvii. pp. 507, 580. On the coast of South Australia, especially on the Coorong beach, I have seen fibreballs in great quantity; some larger than a cricket ball, and perfectly spherical, hard, and well-matted; others tapering and having the form of an exceedingly long ellipse. I brought home many specimens. These are now in the Wragge Museum at Stafford; and I shall be happy to have some forwarded for Prof. Darwin's inspection.
