Steiglitz, they camped out for the night near the Geelong 

 reservoir, and next day resumed the walk through the range 

 proper, noting a number of interesting birds and plants on 

 the way, finally entraining for home at Parwan. The additions 

 made to the lists of birds and plants increased the respective 

 totals to 104 and 358. 



Mr. F. G. A. Barnard congratulated the authors on the work 

 that they were doing in the Brisbane Ranges, and suggested 

 that a camp-out might be held in that locality at some future 

 date. 



Dr. T. S. Hall, M.A., also congratulated the authors on what 

 they had accomplished. He was greatly surj^rised at the 

 amount of country that they had covered in the two days' 

 walk, and mentioned that a fault scarp extended through the 

 district in a north and south direction for about nine miles. 



Mr. J. A. Kershaw, F.E.S., agreed with the previous speaker 

 regarding the amount of country passed through. He thought 

 that the suggestion to hold a camp in the locahty would meet 

 with general approval, provided that it was confined to a 

 workable area.
