324 ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



" On recent work on the Eucalypts and what it teaches," was 

 communicated. 



The President, in referring to the recent death of Mr. Alexander 

 Morton, Secretary of the Royal Society of Tasmania and Curator 

 of the Hobart Museum, said that everyone who had attended the 

 Meetings of the Australasian Association in Hobart, who had had 

 occasion to consult the collections in the Hobart Museum, or was 

 otherwise interested in the flora or fauna of Tasmania, had had 

 opportunities of appreciating Mr. Morton's kindness, his freely 

 rendered help, and his capacity for organising arrangements for 

 the benefit of visiting naturalists. 



Professor David spoke in support of the President's testimony; 

 and, upon his motion, it was resolved that a letter of sympathy 

 be sent to Mrs. Morton. 



The Donations and Exchanges received since the previous 

 Monthly Meeting, amounting to 5 Vols, 80 Parts or Nos., 48 

 Bulletins, 2 Reports, and 3 Pamphlets, received from 58 

 Societies, &c., and 2 Individuals, were laid upon the table. 



The President invited discussion upon the papers by Messrs. 

 E. C. Andrews, T. G. Taylor, Dr. W. G. Woolnough, and Mr. 

 G. H. Halligan in Parts 3 and 4 of the Proceedings for 1906, 

 recently published. As there was much to be said in the time 

 available, the discussion resolved itself chiefly into criticism of 

 the theoretical considerations brought forward in Mr. Andrews' 

 paper entitled " The New Zealand Sound (and Lake) Basins and 

 the Canons of Eastern Australia in their bearing on the Theory 

 of the Peneplain," and in Mr. Halligan's paper "On Sand- 

 Movement on the New South Wales Coast." Dr. Woolnough 

 opened the discussion, and Messrs. J. E. Carne, G. H. Halligan, 

 the President, and Mr. Andrews took part.
