Benda and Miss Taylor. Seventeen entries were received and 

 the prizes were awarded to Miss Evelj^n H. White, for a fine 

 study of Pimelea ; Mrs. W. Tambiyn, Banksia ; and Miss Vida 

 Catt, Epacris. 



Miss Ashby also showed a splendid collection of pressed 

 flowers from different parts of Australia and New Zealand. 



A fine collection of seaweeds, the work of Miss V. Taylor, 

 was also exhibited. 



One table was specially devoted to exhibits from the other 

 States. These were in the charge of Messrs. E. S. Hughes, 

 R. J. Burton, and J. Neil McGilp. 



The finances were materially added to by the sale of 

 flowers, enthusiastically carried out by the Misses Margaret 

 and Isabel Hackett, Miss E. Hosking, and Mrs. Pearce. 



Pond Life. The Aquarium Society exhibited several aquaria 

 stocked with fish, newts, frogs, and other forms of life. This 

 exhibit was under the charge of Mr. Edgar R. Waite, F.L.S. 

 assisted by Mr. H. M. Hale. This proved a great attraction. 



Mr. A. G. Edquist also added to the attractiveness of the 

 Show by exhibiting a number of jars containing various forms 

 of pond life. 



Mr. Kimber exhibited his fine collection of shells and fossils. 



Collections of birds, and many other natural specimens, 

 were shown by Captain S. A. White. 



Humming birds were also shown by Mr. E. Ashby. 



A fine collection of minerals was exhibited by Miss I. 

 Roberts. 



A Microscopic Section, under the charge of Dr. R. H. 

 Pulleine, Mr. W. H. Baker, Mr. E. H. Elston, and Mr. R. Kemp| 

 showed very interesting sets of slides. 



Mr. A. M. Lea showed a splendid collection of butterflies 

 moths, beetles, etc., recently presented to the Museum from 

 the collection of the late William White. 



Mr. S. W. Jackman showed a good collection of Australian 

 timbers from the different States, splendidly mounted and cor- 

 rectly named. 



Miss A. Ashby exhibited a large collection of beautifully 

 executed pictures of wild flowers, and Professor J. B. Cleland, 

 M.D., showed a set of paintings of fungi. 



The attendance was a great advance upon that of last year 

 notwithstanding many counter-attractions, and the financial 

 results were exceedingly satisfactory. Though the balance- 

 sheet is not yet complete, we expect to have a credit balance 

 of at least £70.
