  • Philip Durham Lorimer: 'The Illawarra Poet' (Cont'd from June Bulletin)
    lllawarra Historical Society July 183 Dr. Michael Bialoguski · Russian born Pole, violinist, conductor manque and part-time ASIO agent - practised medicine for a brief period during the late 1940s in Thirroul. Along w1th Dr. Francis Crossle he joins the ranks of Thirroul's celebrity medicos. After Bialoguski moved to Sydney, he became more actively involved with ASIO and was attached to Petrov. He soon came to the view that Petrov, who had a taste for lots of food, strong drink and loose women, might be a subject who could be persuaded to defect. Bialoguski strung along Petrov and his bacchanalian predilections, in spite of ASIO's niggardliness with expenses, and the rest as they say in the classics is history.

Lorimer whose ver.ses and songs appeared in a great many provincial newspapers of NSW during the 80s and 90s of last century - and particularly in the papers of the lllawarra and Sourhern Highlands districts- wrote bloody awful poetry. Despite this, he managed to earn the epithet of 'Bush Poet' and to become a suffi­ cently pitiable figure for at least two people to make efforts to publish collections . of his verse. The eldest son of Alexander Lorimer, M.D. (garrison assistant surgeon) of the East India Company, he was born at Madras on June 3rd, 1843.

In fact, its been wonderful weather up here in Queensland for plants in general and ferns in particular, so the ferns should be at their best. Hopefully it will be dry enough to comfortably get out and see them. I expect to be producing the next newsletter in early July, so I’d appreciate receiving articles for it by the end of June. (I expect to be away for about 2 months from mid-July.) Program for British Pteridological Society Visit Condensed by Dan Johnston from itinerary supplied by Jennifer Ide and Barry White The program below is somewhat tentative. Local members are welcome to join the BPS members on activities, at least in the Sydney and South-east Queensland sections. Contact the organisers to confirm details.

SINCLAIR Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT. Nineteen endemic Australian species of the Gondwanan genus Ceratomerus Philippi are revised, including four described and 15 new species: C. albistylus Hardy, C. athertonius n.sp., C. attenuatus n.sp., C. barringtonensis n.sp., C. bickeli n.sp., C. bulbosus n.sp., C. campbelli (Paramonov), C. falcatus n.sp., C. globosus n.sp., C. hibernatus n.sp., C. inflexus Hardy, C. lobatus n.sp., C. maculatus n.sp., C. malleolus n.sp., C. macalpinei n.sp., C. ordinatus Hardy, C. oreas n.sp., C. orientalis n.sp., and C. victoriae n.sp. This is primarily an aquatic genus, restricted to cascading rocky rainforest streams of eastern Australia from the Tablelands near Cairns to Tasmania. Adults prey on flying aquatic insects and are collected on emergent rocks and riparian vegetation. The Australian ceratomerine fauna comprises three species groups, with the C. campbelli group apparently most closely related to the C. paradoxus group of Chile. The C. ordinatus group appears closely related to species from New Zealand and Ecuador (high elevations). A key to all Australian species is included and zoogeography discussed.
