EucALYPTS. — A series of six University Extension lectures on 

 eucalyi)ts has been arranged to be given by Mr. P. R. H. St. 

 John, at the Royal Society's Hall, on Wednesday evenings, 

 commencing on i6th September. There will also be three field 

 lectures, at Evelyn, Eltham, and the Botanical Gardens 

 respectively. The price of the course is los., and intending 

 members should communicate at once with Mr. P. D. Flower, 

 352 Collins-street, Melbourne. 



The " Geelong Naturalist." — Among other interesting 

 articles in the Gcclong Naturalist for May last will be found an 

 illustrated paper by Messrs. J. F. Mulder and R. E. Trebilcock, 

 entitled "■ Victorian Hydroida, with Descriptions of New 

 Species." Mr. Mulder in a separate article gives some notes on 

 the Waurn Ponds limestone fossil beds ; while Dr. Hall gives 

 some account of a little book i)rinted in Geelong more than 

 fifty years ago, called "Sea and Riverside Rambles in Victoria." 

 Though published anonymously, it was, no doubt, written by 

 Samuel Hannaford, an enthusiastic field naturalist of the 

 fifties. 



Australian Forest League. — The annual meeting of the 

 Victorian branch of the Australian Forest League was held at 

 the Melbourne Town Hall on 25th August, when His Excellency 

 Sir Arthur Stanley presided. In supporting the adoption of 

 the re])ort, which outlined the work of the League to the present 

 date, the chairman took the opportunity of urging much greater 

 attention to forestry and the conservation of timber, in view of 

 the very great shortage which is looming not far ahead. The 

 support of all interested will be greatly appreciated by the 

 council. Copies of the report and particulars of membership 

 can be obtained from Dr. C. S. Sutton, Carlton, hon. sec. pro 

 tern. The subscription, 2s. 6d., being a nominal one, we trust 

 there will be a good response in the way of new members.
