GENERAL NOTES. 



Badge. — At the June meeting of the Com- 

 mittee, a decision was arrived at regarding the 

 adoption of a badge for the Field Naturalists. 

 A sub-committee, consisting of Dr. Fenner and 

 Messrs. E. H. Ising and AV. Champion Hackett, 

 had been appointed to consider the matter, and 

 they recommended the flower of Sturt's desert 

 pea (Clianthus Dampieri) as the badge, in the 

 form shown herewith. This was adopted by the 

 Connnittee. The design has been carried out in enamel, and 

 badges raa.v be obtained b^^ members from iMiss Ireland, at a cost 

 of 2/6 each. The emblem should commend itself to all members, 

 being a beautiful and striking native floAver, common within the 

 State, and vrith manv sentimental and historical association'^. 



Wild Flower Show.— The date of the Wild Flower Show 

 and general exhibition of natural history objects has been fixed 

 for September 23 and 24. The exhibition will be held in the 

 Institute Building, and will be opened at 8 o'clock on Friday 

 evening, September 23. The Director of Education has kindly 

 granted permission for the school children in selected districts 

 to assist in collecting flowers, etc. It is hoped that the function 

 will be an even greater success than was the case yast year. We 

 vrould impress upon members that many workers will be re- 

 quired, particularly on the Friday afternoon. Those willing to 

 assist at that time will please notify the Secretary.
