Fellows might like to be reminded of the more important 
achievements in other departments of Natural Science, for it is 
out of the question to attempt to deal comprehensively with all 
the subjects which have been published by the Society. In 
Geology, we claim to have elaborated a Cambrian fauna, and as 
a consequence to have determined an Archean or preCambrian 
group of rocks, thus adding those two names to the table of the 
stratified rocks of Australia ; to have determined the occurrence 
of strata over a large area in Central Australia yielding Silurian 
fossils, which are of a type hitherto unrecognised on this contin- 
ent; to have geologically mapped a vast tract of interior 
country between longitudes 133° to 120° and latitudes 32° to 36° ; 
to have classified the marine Tertiaries on the basis of a com- 
parison of their molluscan faunas with existing species ; to have 
brought to notice the first clear evidence of the pre-existence of 
a glacier at low elevations and the determination of its pre- 
Miocene age. 
Anthropology has received a large share of attention, and
