Tasmania," by Mr. Augustus Simson. These additions consist of three 

 plants new to the Colony, viz., Ilahca nodosa, R. Br., IMlchrysum Spiceri, 

 Mueller, and Eucalyptus Siebcri, MuUer. Specimens of the plants have 

 been added to the Museum. 



Mr. Justice Dobson read a paper on the Codlin Moth (Apple moth) 

 This was a second contribution on the subject by the same observer, a 

 former paper having been read in 1876 and subsequently published in the 

 transactions. 



Mr. F. Abbott also read a paper on the moth, giving at the same time 

 extracts from English writers on the subject. 



Discussion, in which His Excellency and others joined, ensued on the 

 matter of the last two papers. Mr. Stephens thought much public benefit 

 might be the result if a short digest were made of the information contained 

 intheseveralpaperswhichhadbeenread before the Society on the subject of 

 the codlin moth. Were this digest printed on a slip of paper it could 

 easily, by means of the Post OflSce or otherwise, be brought under the 

 notice of all apple growers, who would thus be furnished, in a very clear 

 and concise form, with full information as to the best known methods of 

 dealing with the pest. The suggestion met with the general approval of 

 the meeting. 



Mr. Abbott intimated that a valuable report on the Moth had been made 

 by a Commission appointed by the American Government, and that he had 

 made application for a copy. 



A vote of thanks to the donors of presentations and the authors of papers, 

 proposed by Mr. Barnard and seconded by Mr. Justin Browne, closed the 

 proceedings.
