PRESENTATION TO MR. F. G. A. BARNARD. 



At the September meeting of the club an interesting presentation 

 took place. The President, Mr. C. A, Topp, M.A., said that he 

 had a very pleasant duty to perform. For some five years past 

 Mr. Barnard had been fulfilling the duties attached to the post of 

 secretary of the club. How admirably these duties had been 

 carried out, and with what untiring zeal Mr. Barnard had devoted 

 his time and energies to the service of the Field Naturalist's Club, 

 might be gathered from the great success which had attended the 

 club, the increase in its membership, and the great interest dis- 

 played in the meetings by the members. On behalf of the club, 

 he asked Mr. Barnard to accept, on the occasion of his marriage, 

 and as a token of the appreciation of his work by the members, 

 a handsome marble clock, which was accompanied by a purse of 

 forty sovereigns, and an address worded as follows: — 



To F. G. A. Barnard, Esq., 



Hon. Sec. Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria. 



Dear Sir, — On behalf of the members of the Field Naturalists' Club of 

 Victoria, we have great pleasure in offering you our hearty congratulation on 

 your marriage, and in wishing you and Mrs. Barnard happiness and prosperity. 



Availing ourselves of a good old custom on these occasions, vs^e have to ask 

 that you will do us the honour to accept the accompanying tokens of our
