The ri)]! of memhers consists of ten corresponding and 

 nind y-t\v<) ordinary members and three associates. Three 

 resignations were accepted. 



With d-M'p regret we record the death of Dr. R. L. Jack, 

 one of our life members, and formerly Government Geologist 

 of (Queensland. The late Dr. Jack distinguished himself in 

 geological research in Queensland, in which he was a pioneer, 

 and in Great Britain before the inception of his notable work 

 in this State. 



Our thanks are tendered to the L^niversity of Queens- 

 land for att'ording acconniiodatinn for meetings snd for 

 housing the library. 



In September, 1!I21, tlie Council was unfortunately 

 obliged to discontinue the ])ul)lication of papers on account 

 of lack of funds, and for that reason several papers handed 

 into tbe Society could not be ])ublished at that time. At a 

 later date th(^ financial position improved owing to the 

 recei})t of (ielayed subsci'iptions. 



A special effort has been made to place the finances of 

 the Society on a satisfactory footing, with the result that 

 after meeting all outstanding liabilities there is a balance of 

 £35 5s. 7d. in hand. 



C. T. WHITE, President.
