Novre Hollandise sive icones generum quse in ' Prodromo Florae 

 Nova? Hollandise et Insulse Van Diemen descripsit Robertas 

 Brown,' Londini, 1813," by Ferdinand Bauer (1760-1826), the 

 botanical draughtsman who accompanied Robert Brown on 

 Flinders' Expedition, 1801-05, and subsequently. So much of 

 Bauer's botanical work had not been published, that the speaker 

 thought the Society was under great obligations to the donor for 

 his thoughtfulness and liberality in making provision for these 

 fine examples of Bauer's beautiful work becoming better known

On the motion of Mr. A. G. Hamilton, seconded by Mr. E.

 to record its cordial appreciation of the Rev. J. Lamont's kind-

 relics of an early botanical enthusiast, for the edification of 

 Australian plant-lovers, present and to come. 



The Donations and Exchanges received since the previous 

 Monthly Meeting (29th April, 1914), amounting to 11 Vols., 

 101 Parts or Nos., 13 Bulletins, 2 Reports, and 4 Pamphlets, 

 received from 64 Societies, etc., were laid upon the table.

 They consist of cones of Callitris, of which the upper parts have 

 been bitten off, apparently with the object of obtaining the seeds 

 before the cones had expanded. Also a number of fine twigs 

 from an adjacent Eucalypt, which had apparently been nipped 

 off, for some unknown purpose, by the same birds. 



Dr. H. G. Chapman exhibited, for Dr. Burton Bradley and 

 himself, a specially designed and locally constructed oven for
