A special meeting of the Club was held on the 15th December 

 to receive the full reports of the expeditions to the Kent Group 

 and the Yarra Falls. 



There was a very full attendance of members and friends, and 

 Mr. H. T. Tisdall, F.L.S., occupied the chair. 



Mr. D. Le Souef read an entertaining account of the recent 

 visit to the Kent Group, whilst Professor Spencer undertook to 

 become the exponent for the members of the Yarra Falls party. 

 The latter paper was fully illustrated by lantern slides, which added 

 considerably to the interest of the account. The lantern was in 

 the skilful hands of Mr. T. Searle, and the slides were preparations 

 of photographic views taken by members of the party during the 

 excursion. One view was especially interesting, historically, being 

 the first photograph ever taken of the Yarra Falls. This fact 

 should be of special interest to every member of the Club. 



Full reports of both papers will be published, and the atten- 

 tion of every member is specially directed to them, since they bear 

 direct evidence to the thoroughly good work the Club is achieving 

 in every department of its work.

 November, was very poorly attended. Only one member left 

 town by the appointed train, another joined at Glenferrie, and a 

 third at Ringwood. En route, from information received, we 

 determined to change the locality of the excursion to the next 

 station, Lower Fern Tree Gully, as being nearer the ranges, and 

 our arrival there quite upset the local station-master. However, 

 after considerable effort he managed to calculate the excess fares 

 and charge us accordingly. We did not get far from the station 

 before we set to work. On turning over a rotten log we found a
