MICROSCOPICAL SEC Tia 
OF THE 
Roval Society ot South Australia. 
ANNUAL REPORT, 1891-92. 
The Committee beg to submit their seventh annual report as 
follows :—The meetings of the Section have been very fairly 
attended considering the small number of active members now on 
the roll, and much interest has evidently been manifested in the 
various subjects brought forward. 
We regret that several members have resigned during the 
year, and amongst them our Chairman, Mr. J. Colbourne, who 
has removed to Sydney. We shall feel the loss very much, as he 
was one of those who joined on the formation of the Section, in 
August, 1885, and he has always taken an active part in it as far 
as his time would allow. 
Only two excursions have been held during the year, one of 
which was a dredging expedition down the Port River, in con- 
junction with the Field Naturalists’ Section. Several others were 
arranged for but had to be given up in consequence of the bad 
weather. 
We are not able to report any additions to the library since 
last year, but a large number of Microscopical Magazines, which 
have passed round to the members, are in the hands of the binder, 
and will shortly be available for issue. The Council of the Royal 
Society having lately handed over for the use of members of the 
Section their bound volumes of the Journal of the Royal Micro- 
scopical Society, members are now able to consult this valuable 
publication. In addition to this the following magazines are sub- 
scribed for by the Section, and are issued to members to read at 
home :—“ Journal of the Queckett Club,” “The American 
Microscopical Journal,” “The International Journal of the 
Microscopical Science, &e.”
