 "Thetis Trawling Expedition," containing the first portion of the 

 Crustacea, by Mr. T. Whitelegge, was published on 23rd May.

The preparation of the new edition of Mr. A. J. North's 

 "Descriptive Catalogue of the Nests and Eggs of Birds found 

 breeding in Australia and Tasmania," progressed satisfactorily: 

 nearly all the plates are now prepared. The first part of the MS. 

 was handed to the printer at the end of the year, and should be 

 issued to subscribers early in 1901. 



A list of "Duplicate Books and Pamphlets," available for ex- 

 change, was prepared by Mr. S. Sinclair, printed, and distributed.
