 effort in this direction. 



Corresponding Membert<. — Y(»ur Committee desire to express 

 their thanks to the corresponding members, who still continue to 

 evince an interest in the Section's work by sending contributions 

 either of specimens or observations in natural history. Mrs. A. 

 F. Pvichards, Georgetown, and Mr. AV. Rumlmll, Blinman, have 

 been the most energetic in this way. Your Committee would 

 remind local correspondents that they are not registered as 

 '•' corresponding members " until they show in a practical way 

 their desire to be of use to the Section. 



Publications. — Your Committee are indebted to the Field 

 Naturalists' Club of Victoria and the trustees of the Australian 

 Museum, Sydney, for kindly supplying the Section with their 

 publications.

 just double that of last year. Twelve persons ha^'e been elected
