ABSTRACT, OF. PROCEEDINGS 
Report of Council for 1922. 
To the Members of the Royal Society of Queensland. 
Your Council has pleasure in submitting its Report for the 
year 1922. 
During the year twelve papers were published. With a few 
exceptions, these papers were read before the Society. In 
addition, the following leetures, which were well attended and 
to which the public was invited, were delivered: **The Geology 
of Northern Australia,’’ by Dr. H. I. Jensen; ‘‘ Kosciusko, the 
Roof of Australia,’’ Professor H. C. Richards; ‘‘The Eucalypts 
of the Brisbane District,’’ C. T. White; and ‘‘Corals,’’ Professor 
F. Wood-Jones. The last-mentioned lecture was held in conjune- 
tion with the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland. 
The Society is indebted to the University of Queensland for 
providing accommodation for meetings and for housing the 
library. 
We wish to acknowledge the practical assistance afforded 
the Society by the Government of Queensland, who, as in 
previous years, voted £50 towards the Society’s activities. 
Appreciative acknowledgment is also accorded to the Govern- 
ment of Papua for a subsidy of £25 towards the printing of 
Mr. C. T. White’s paper on the Flora of Papua and to the 
Walter and Eliza Hall Fund for subsidies towards the publi- 
cation of the following papers: ‘‘Notes on the Biology of Some 
of the More Common Queensland Muscoid Flies,’’ by T. H. 
Johnston and O. W. Tiegs, ‘‘ New and Known Sareophagid Flies”’ 
by T. H. Johnston and O. W. Tiegs, and ‘‘A Synonymie List of 
Some Described Calliphorine Flies’? by T. H. Johnston and 
G. H. Hardy.
