TRANSACTIONS 



OF THE 



^ielir J^aturalists' ejection of tlje^ojial^ock^^^ 



OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA- 



This Section was establislied bj a resolution of tlie Eoyal 

 Society of South Australia on September 4th, 1883, and the 

 rules adopted at the following meeting held on October 2nd,, 

 as recorded in Yol. YI. of the Transactions. In the first week 

 of November Prof. Tate delivered a preliminary lecture in the 

 Town Hall, under the auspices of the Royal Society, on the 

 objects of this Section, Dr. H. T. AYhittell presiding. The- 

 Chairman said that the establishment of the Section was owing 

 to the desire of the Royal Society to meet the wishes of a 

 number of studiously disposed persons who wished to undertake 

 the study of Natural History from a more elementary point 

 than that pursued by the Royal Society. Prof. Tate, in the 

 course of a very interesting lecture, stated that it was not 

 intended to exclude those who solely sought pleasant com- 

 panionship and agreeable change, and that ladies as well as- 

 gentlemen wovJd be welcomed. The lectures should deal with 

 subjects alike entertaining and instructive, and that one of the 

 chief features should be the microscope. Mr. W. H. Selway, 

 jun., proposed a vote of thanks to the Professor, which was- 

 carried with acclamation, when the proceedings terminated 

 with a similar vote to the Chairman.
