49. From H. Button, Esq., Launceston, pro S. B. Emmett, Esq., 

 specimen of Spiriferous Bock from near the Hellyer river. Speci- 

 men of Kaolin (?) from same locality, and 2 specimens of Mica 

 slate from Campijell's Banges. 



50. From Messrs. Walch and Sons— 4 specimens of Slate from Piper's 

 Biver, Tasmania. 



[These slates were pronounced by the Members to be superior 

 to any which have hitherto been produced by the Colony. Mr. 

 C. H. Grant said although they were not equal to the best English 

 or Welsh slate, they were very good in quality, and would in all pro- 

 bability still further improve as the quarry was opened out. If fur- 

 nished at moderate rates they would, he had no doubt, command a very 

 ready sale, especially in the ISIelbourne market. ] 



51. From Mr. G. Crane, Upj^erGoulburn- street, a model of a "Salmon 

 trap," as made by American Indians. 



[Mr. C. H. Grant remarked he had seen these traps made use of in 

 Canada. They were only suitable for still, shallow waters and would 

 be entirely useless on such a rapid river as the Derwent.] 



52. From A. G. Webster, Esq. , specimen of carbonate of manganese 



and lime, from Beecliworth, Victoria. 

 53. From Miss Ellen Shrimpton, Hamilton, 4 plover's eggs.
