 by Prof. AV'atson, w itii the help of a series of lantern-slides. 



The President, in commenting upon the value and interest of

 .Althey, to whose care and assiduity the splendid collections at 

 Newcaslle-on-Tvue are so greatly indebted. Other speakers were

The tieneral Secretary exhibited a copy of a v(dunie entitled 

 * The Giant Trees of A'ictoria,' by Mr. J. Dukcan Pj;ikce, C.E., 

 an expert photographer, of which only 25 copies were prijited ; 

 there are 8 plates, averaging 16 in. x 12 in. Mr. Peirce stated 

 tliat the tallest trees grew in gullies between ridges, the greater 

 moisture and abundance of leaf-mould conducing to their height, 

 but the liigliest tree measured proved to be only 326 feet 1 inch. 



^Ir. G. W. E. LoDEH reuuirked that the height of the Australian 

 Kiicali/jilKs had probably been exaggerated and did not equal that 

 of the American Big-trees, and Dr. IiKNUI.e adiled further 

 comments.
