Thougli only in existence twelve montlis, there are 165 mem- 

 bers on the roll. 



There have been eight half-day and three whole-day excur- 

 sions in connection with the Section, all of which were well 

 attended, and very gratifying in results. 



The syllabus for the winter session embraced nine papers by 

 distinguished Fellows of the Eoyal Society of South Australia 

 on various subjects intimately connected with Natural History. 



The interest exhibited by Professor Tate in the formation of 

 the Section and in the work undertaken by its members has 

 greatly stimulated the efforts of scientific students, and 

 there is every probability that the Section will ultimately be 

 of considerable service to the parent Society, the Fellows of 

 which have so kindly fostered and encouraged it.
