Field Naturalists' Club — Proceedings. 123 



motion was seconded by Mr. J. L. Robertson, and carried 

 unanimously. 



The chairman also drew attention to the exhibition of flower 

 and bird paintings executed by Mrs. Ellis Rowan, now on view 

 at the Art Society's rooms, Alfred-place, stating that they 

 were well worthy of inspection. The subjects were mainly 

 New Guinean, and some exceedingly beautiful flowers were 

 represented. Some coloured drawings of Mount Macedon fungi 

 were in themselves worth seeing. 



PAPER READ. 



By Dr. Griffith Taylor, B.E., B.A., F.G.S., entitled " Science 

 in Antarctica." 



This took the form of a lecturette illustrated by lantern 

 slides. The lecturer, who was a member of the Scott Expedi- 

 tion to the South Pole in 1910-14, gave an account of the 

 different scientific investigations carried out on board the vessel 

 as it proceeded south. He then described the surroundings 

 of the winter quarters, with some account of the bird and 

 animal life in the vicinity. 



The chairman congratulated the lecturer on the interesting 

 nature of his remarks, and said that, considering the excitement 

 all around on account of the signing of the armistice, if the 

 lecture had not been so interesting the audience would have 

 left the room long before its conclusion. 



REMARKS ON EXHIBITS. 



Mr. F. G. A. Barnard called attention to some micro-photo- 

 graphs of different objects made by Mr. Garriqucs, of Broken 

 Hill, who would be glad to correspond and exchange with other 

 workers in the same direction.
