118 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



Mr. S. Clark in Adelaide very recently, whilst the only recorded 

 instance of their appearance before relates to Sturt's expedition of 

 28 years ago. 



An interesting extract was handed to the Secretary, referring to 

 the destruction of mosquitos by dragon flies, from which it is 

 evident that fame awaits him who can cultivate the latter in such 

 numbers as to combat successfully against the former. 



The members of the Club accepted with regret the resignation, 

 through press of private engagements, of Mr. J. S. Hart, M.A., 

 B.Sc, as a secretary of the Club, and Rev. W. Fielder was elected 

 to fill his place. 



Three new members were also elected — viz., Rev. H. Braddock 

 and Messrs. J. C. Caffyn and J. P. Knight. 



The hon. librarian reported the following additions to the 

 library : — " Records of the Australian Museum," i., 5, and "Con- 

 tributions to Queensland Flora," being Bulletin IV. of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Brisbane.
