as well as permanent mounts. In this work he was assisted by 

 Miss J. Raff, M.Sc, whilst the microscopes were kindly supplied 

 by Messrs. Watson and Sons. 



ELECTION OF MEMBERS. 



On a ballot being taken, Mr. Henry Whitmore, 8 Trafalgar- 

 road, Camberwell, was duly elected an ordinary member ; and 

 Mr. F. J. Harvey, 33 Aphrasia-street, Bareena, Geelong, and 

 Mr. Alex. Purnell, Talbot-street, Bareena, country members 

 of the Club. 



GENERAL BUSINESS. 



Mr. F. G. A. Barnard, referring to the decision of the Com- 

 mittee of Management of the National Park to cancel all 

 grazing leases in the Park, said that the committee should 

 have the very best thanks of the Club for carrying out its 

 desire. He hoped that by so doing they would not have 

 to curtail expenditure and thus stop further improvements 

 from being carried out for some time. 



Mr. J. A. Kershaw, F.E.S., stated that the committee would 

 lose £180 per year as a result of its action. 



Mr. F. Wisewould said it would be interesting to know what 

 action the Government proposed to take. It was a National 

 Park, and he thought that an effort should be made to stir up 

 the general public to a sense of responsibility, instead of leaving 

 it to a few to provide the necessary funds. 



Mr. J. A. Kershaw remarked that at present the Govern- 

 ment granted £500 per year, practically the whole of which is 

 absorbed in making improvements. 



Mr. F. G. A. Barnard moved that a vote of thanks be 

 accorded to Messrs. Watson and Son for providing microscopes 

 at the junior meeting on 5th April. The motion was seconded 

 by Mr. F. Pitcher, and carried unanimously. 



Mr. H. E. Horner stated that while on a visit to Port 

 Campbell recently several cases of Mutton-bird shooting had 

 come under his notice, and he asked if this were allowed under 

 the Game Laws. 



Mr. J. Gabriel said that rookeries were protected, but not 

 the Mutton-birds. 



Mr. J. A. Kershaw spoke in appreciation of the work done 

 by Mr. C. Stout while secretary for juniors, and moved that 

 the best thanks of the Club be forwarded to him. 



This was seconded by Mr. F. Pitcher, and carried un- 

 animously.
