200 Correspondence. [i^fA Hi 



my request, kindly revised the draft rcjiort, that the register 

 resembled Dewey's system. — Yours faithfully, 



ALEXR. WM. MILLIGAN 



105 William-street, Melbourne, 31/3/13. 



[The editors regret the meagre report of the proceedings of 

 the session, especially on such an historical occasion as the pres- 

 entation of the Union's " Check-list." The omissions, &c., were 

 owing to circumstances over which the editors had no control, 

 and they thank Mr. Milligan for his corrections. However, with 

 becoming modesty, Mr. Milligan makes no reference to a special 

 vote of thanks which, the editors learn, was accorded to him 

 at the session, and should have been previously recorded. —

Editors' Note. 



Members contributing notes or articles to The Emu are expected 

 in future to use the nomenclature in accordance with the " Official 

 Check-list." Contributors are also kindly invited, when prac- 

 ticable, to type-write their articles, and thus assist the editors 

 (whose leisure or private time is exceedingly limited) in their 

 purely honorary work.
