The interest displayed in the Fauna and Flora of the district 
at these Field Meetings, especially by the Junior Members, is 
very encouraging and augurs well for the future success of the 
Society. 
The Exhibitions of the Native Flora made in the Art Gallery 
of the Museum during the Spring and Summer Seasons have 
been well maintained by both Senior and Junior Members, and 
these displays have proved to be highly educational both to our 
Members as well as to strangers visiting the Museum. During 
the Winter months there were 24 General and Sectional 
Meetings, covering a wide range of subjects, as follows :—
