Oue special and notable feature of his career as a draughtsman 

 deserves notice, his punctualitj'. Those who are responsible for

George Samuel Perrin was horn in 1849, and as a child of 

 four years old accompanied his parents to Victoria in 1853, re- 

 ceiving his early education at Fenner's School, South Yarra. 



He travelled much in various parts of Australia, and had a 

 special predilection for the tropical parts ; he accumulated a large 

 collection of the native woods, aboriginal weapons, and similar 

 museum articles in the course of his travel. 



In 1880 he became Forester in the Woods and Forest Department, 

 South Australia ; five years later Chief Forester at Wirraburra ; in 

 188G Conservator of Forests in Tasmania ; and in June of the next 

 year he was transferred to Victoria. In this last position he had 

 hard work to keep the timber reserves from undue encroachment 

 on the part of commercial speculators, until he succeeded in getting 

 a Government Forest Commission, when some measure of support 

 was given him. 



He was intimate with Sir Ferdinand von Mueller, and from him 

 learned how to acclimatize exotic trees and develop native timbers ; 

 from him, too, he acquired his knowledge of the Australian flora, 

 so far as the forest conservation required it. 



About a twelvemonth since he had an attack of jaundice, attri- 

 buted to an old relic of jungle-fever in the northern province. 

 Towards the end of last year he underwent an operation to relieve 

 a stoppage, from which he did not recover, but died at BaUarat, 

 24th December, 1900. 



He was elected into this Society 5th May, 1885.

 son of his father, John Redhead, of Manchester ; and on his marriage 

 with Mary, daughter of Robert Milne, of Manchester, he assumed 

 the name of Milne-Redhead. After his early education at Man- 

 chester Grammar School, he read for the bar, and was called at the 

 Middle Temple in 1866. Passionately fond of travelling, he not 

 only visited every European country, but travelled through India 

 and Ceylon, the West Indies and Brazil, besides such more easily 

 reached lands as Egypt, Palestine, and the Canaries. 



He collected during his journeys, preferring seeds for cultivation 

 at home, thougli he kept herbarium specimens ; and he was very 

 successful in the culture of his importations, as Cednis atlantica
