 Membership. 



The President then introduced Professor S. B. J. 

 Skertehly, a Past-President of the Society, who gave a 

 lecture on "Glacial Man." In an entertaining manner he 

 outlined the events leading up to his discovery, in 1876, of 

 paltDolithic flint implements below the boulder clay of East 

 Anglia. Although his conclusions were not generally 

 accepted at the time, recent evidence supports them, and the 

 lecture was the result of a special invitation to the Professor 

 to speak on the subject. The actual implements, now in the 

 Queensland ]\Iuseum, were exhibited. 



A hearty vote of thanks to Professor Skertehly was 

 proposed by His Excellency the Governor, seconded by 

 Professor H. C. Richards, supported by Mr. H. A. Longman 

 and Dr. Shirley, and carried with applause from the large 

 audience.
