 L. Boorman), Lindfield (R. H. Cambage), French's Forest (D.

 (I.e., p. 132) gives Port Jackson as the habitat for this species.

 Wallsend, and Bullahdelah (J. L. Boorman), Newcastle (R. H. 

 Cambage), Rookwood, Kahiba near Newcastle, and Waratah (E.

 comparison. 



Mr. Cambage called attention to a laudable legislative effort 

 now being made in England, to check the destruction of bird- 

 life in other countries; and on his motion, seconded by Mr. 

 D. G. Stead, it was resolved — That the Linnean Society of New 

 South Wales considers it to be highly desirable that the Importa- 

 tion of Plumage (Prohibition) Bill, now before the British Par- 

 liament, should become law, and desires that a letter be written 

 to the Premier of this State for transmission to the Secretary of 

 State for the Colonies, urging the passing of the Bill.
