exportation to the European markets, about a thousand tons 

 being sent away annually. From Pomonal we followed the 

 Mount William Range to its termination at the head of Hall's

We arrived back at Mr. D'Alton's residence in time for the 

 evening meal, feeling tired, but otherwise greatly satisfied with 

 our trip, which, both from a botanic and scenic point of view, 

 was delightful. During the three days we had traversed an area 

 of about 120,000 acres, and with this trip may be said to have 

 completed our survey of the entire Grampians area, which 

 covers about 450 square miles. The number of flowering plants 

 and ferns previously collected by Messrs. Sullivan, Walter, 

 Williamson, Campbell, and others amounts to 686; our additions 

 bring tlie total up to 737 species. 



The " G.\RDENiNG Bulletin." — ^There are probably few 

 field naturalists who are not also garden-lovers. For those 

 who wish to be up to date in gardening matters, the Gardening 

 Bulletin, published monthly by E. and W. Hackett, nurserymen, 

 of 73 Rundle-strcet, Adelaide, will be found an excellent help 

 and guide. The September number commences the fourth 

 volume, and for a subscription of 3s. 6d. it will be poeted 

 regularly to any address. The articles are always crisp and 

 bright and of great value. 



The " Queensland Natur.alist." — We welcome the re- 

 appearance of the Queensland Naturalist, the organ of the 

 Queensland I'leld Naturalists' Club, after a suspension of 

 nearly three years, owing to insurmountable causes. T]\e Club 

 is to be congratulated on its effort to keep going, and from the 

 quality of the articles in the number to hand sliould have a 

 bright future before it. " The Story of a Little Fly," by Mr. 

 W. R. College, is a most interesting contribution, and just the 

 kind of article which is appreciated by lovers of nature.
