Morton be Secretary and Convener; and that a grant of

(3.) This Committee recommends the General Council that the 
Committee on the Catalogue of the Marine Mollusca of 
Australia be discharged.” 
(4.) “That, in the opinion of this Association, the results of 
past experience demonstrate the urgent necessity for the 
observance throughout Australasia of certain principles 
for the effective conservation of forests. 
(a) That all forests be vested in permanent Boards and 
rendered inalienable unless under exceptional con- 
ditions, and that no selections whatever be per- 
mitted within their area. 
(b) That other land, wholly or in part denuded of timber, 
be also vested in such Boards for forest cultivation 
or natural regeneration, such lands being the 
natural habitat of the species of trees, other than 
exotics, proposed to be grown. 
(c) That the boundaries should as far as possible be 
natural boundaries. 
(d) That the economic aspect of the question requires that 
such lands reserved for forest cultivation or natural 
regeneration be selected with due regard to their 
accessibility from towns or districts requiring the 
timber or from ports of shipment. 
(ce) That large areas on the sources of rivers and streams, 
even though not containing good timber, be reserved, 
as the only means of securing a clean watershed and 
a pure supply of water for cities and towns now 
- existing or hereafter to be built. 
And, further, the observance of these principles is the only 
effective means of checking the enormous waste of timber that 
is now going on, the systematic prevention of which would render 
the forestry departments immediately self-supporting, and in the 
near future the source of large revenues.” 
The Recommendation Committee cannot recommend the above 
in its present form.
