Excursions. 



The leaders of the excursions have done good service to 

 the Section, the siibjeets having been as follows: — Botany, 

 Gum Trees, Swamp (Tidal) Flora, Ornithology, Sheoaks, 

 Physiography, Fungi, Conchology, Shore Life, Entomology, 

 Dredging. The trips have been made by train, tram, and 

 char-a-banc, the latter giving opportunity for getting away 

 from the metropolis. 



Flower Show, 1922. 



The annual Flower Show was held on October 13 and 14 

 in the Institute Building, and proved to be a successful fixture. 

 The Public Schools contributed largely to its success, and 

 kindred societies in the other States sent splendid exhibits. 

 The credit balance amounted to £16 18s. 5d. 



Exhibits. 



A number of exhibits have been shown by members, and 

 the Committee hopes that this subject will receive greater 

 prominence in the coming year. 



Geographical Distribution of Native Plants in S.A. 



A sub-committee was formed recently, and it is the object 

 of the members to conduct a "Plant Survey of S.A." To carry 

 this out it will be neeessary to get plant specimens; it is 

 hoped that members going on holidays in the country will 

 collect plants, and that all who have friends in any part of 

 the State will enlist their help in obtaining and forwarding 

 specimens. By this means a Field Naturalists' Herbarium 

 will be formed, eight keepers and several assistants having 

 been appointed to take charge of it. Much assistance is being 

 given by Professor T. G. B. Osborn, D.Sc, and Professor J. B. 

 Cleland, M.D. It is proposed to amalgamate the Vernacular 

 Plant Names Committee with the above.
