TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
COMMITTEE. 
For the Year Ending September 30, 1905. 
Last October the Field Naturalists' Section of the Royal 
Society celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of its incep- 
tion. The function was highly successful, but amidst the 
congratulations there was an element of regret from the fact 
that the Society was about to lose the services of its inde- 
fatigable Hon. Secretary (Mr. W. H. Selway), owing to nis 
projected departure for England. 
The same number of evening meetings and excursions 
have been held as last year, and the members maintained an 
equal interest, both at the meetings and in the field work. 
Last year's attendance was a decided improvement on the 
previous year's, and this has been maintained. 
The meetings held during the season were as follows: — 
1904. 
October 19. Conversazione, Twenty-first Anniversary.

tific results of three days' excursion to Blumberg.
