2 The South Australian Naturalist. 



The death of Mrs. R. F. Mellor is recorded with great regret. 

 Mrs. Mellor was an enthusiastic Naturalist, a memher of our Com- 

 mittee for many 3'ears, and an ardent participator in our field excur- 

 sions. Her interest lay especially with the question ■ of protecting 

 our native fauna and flora. Her cheerful and willing personality will 

 be missed in our outdoor rambles. 



We note that the X'ictorian Naturalists pay regular visits to 

 their great national park on Wilson's Promontory, spending a week 

 or more in camp there. It should not be long before such an ex- 

 cursion is arranged by our Club for a visit to Flinders Chase, K.I., 

 for the purpose of conducting scientific observations as well as for 

 a healthy holiday. We look to Capt. White in this matter. 



The closin g evening meetings of the present year have been 

 marked by a series of interesting lantern and episcope lecturettes — 

 three or more members taking part on each evening. Their success has 

 been marked, and in their continuance next year it is hoped that more 

 of the 3^ounger members of the Club will take part. 



We would again emphasize that what is wanted for our journal 

 is 16 pages per issue of good original Nature notes or s^^stematic re- 

 cording work, material not sufficiently ambitious to qualify for pre- 

 sentation to the Royal Society, but still of definite scientific value. 

 Every article submitted will receive sympathetic consideration. Ad- 

 dress to the Editor, 43 Alexandra Avenue, Rose Park.
