Journal of Agriculture. Victoria. [lo July. 1912. 



the Agricultural School at Warragul, has been unable to take an active part 

 in the work of the Committee. The remaining active members of the 

 Committee by whom the final decisions have been made are : — 



Chairman: A. J. Ewart, D.Sc, Ph.D.. F.L.S. 

 Honorary Secretary : C. S. Sutton. M.B., Ch.B. 

 Committee: Messrs. F. G. A. Barnard. J. A. Leach, M.Sc. F. 

 Pitcher, P. R. H. St. John, and J. R. Tovey. 



In addition to those mentioned in the previous list, the following have 

 forwarded valuable suggestions or criticisms : — Messrs. R. Kelly, G. Wein- 

 dorfer, A. G. Campbell, J. P. Eckert, C. French, senior, and minor sug- 

 gestions have been received from a large number of correspondents. One 

 point which may be emphasized is that the Committee prefers criticism to 

 indifference, and, in fact, some valuable suggestions have come from corre- 

 spondents who disapprove entirely of the encouragement of the use of ver- 

 nacular names for native plants.
