The Forest Department were seized with the necessity of 

 making provision for the future, and. so far as funds would 

 permit, were doing what they could. Some idea might be 

 gleaned oi the work being done to reafforesi and preserve the 



timber in the reserves when it was stated that nearly 500.000 

 seedlings were planted in one year, and that gangs oi men 

 were at work in various parts of the State making fire-breaks. 

 The policy oi the Department was : the more funds the greater 

 the planting, and the greatei the provision lor the preservation 

 of trees already in existence. 



2. By Mr. F. Chapman. A.I..S.. entitled "On Some Smallei 

 Fossils from the Red Limestone at Grange Burn, near Hamilton, 

 with a Note on a New Species ot Bolivina." 



The author illustrated his remarks by a series of lantern 

 slides showing the scenery of the locality, sections of the prin- 

 cipal cliff exposures, and photographs and sketches ot tin 

 io^ils constituting this special limestone fauna, and stated 

 that the limestone was proved to occupy an intermediate 

 position between the upper and lower Muddj Creek beds, and. 

 by containing restricted Batesfordian fossils, naturally fell into 

 the [anjukian series oi the phase shown in the hard polyzoal 

 rock oi the Geelong area. Reference was made to the useful 

 aid given to the author by the late I. lent. E. E. Heuty. of 

 '"The Caves," who had lost his lite in the present war. and 

 after whom he had named the new species oi Bolivina as B. 

 hentyana.
