Exhibition of Wild-flowers. — The accounts of the recent 

 exhibition of wild-flowers have now been finally closed, and 

 members of the Field Naturalists' Club will be pleased to learn 

 that by their efforts the sum of £"54 4s. nd. has been added to 

 the Wounded Soldiers' Fund. As the total receipts were £yz 

 8s. 6d., and the expenses £18 3s. yd., the resulting profit was 

 just three times the expenditure. There are still some correc- 

 tions and acknowledgments to make in connection with the 

 report of the exhibition in the last Naturalist. The flowers 

 received from Sydney were inadvertently credited to Mr. R. T. 

 linker. F.L.S.. instead of Mr. J. H. Maiden. F.L.S., Government 

 Botanist, and Mrs. D' Alton, Hall's Gap, should have been 

 mentioned as a sender of Grampian flowers. Thanks are due 

 also to Mrs. A. D. Hardy. wh<> undertook the supplying oi 

 refreshments during tbe afternoon, to the ladies and others help- 

 ing in various ways, and to the Misses M. Muntz. E. M'Adam, 

 F. Bainbridge, H. Ball, A. Sutton, and S. Sutton for their kind- 

 111 acting as flower-sellers, by which the receipts were 

 materially assisted. •
