62 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



Mr. Topp for his work as president of the Club, and for the 

 excellent address which he had just delivered. The vote of 

 thanks was carried with enthusiasm, and was acknowledged by 

 Mr. Topp. 



Then followed an exhibition of lantern slides in illustration of 

 excursions undertaken by members of the Club during the past 

 year. Those illustrating the Yarra Falls trip were explained by 

 Professor Spencer ; the next series were illustrative of the visit to 

 the Mt. Wellington District (Gippsland), and were explained by 

 Dr. A. Dendy, whilst Mr. D. Le Souef acted as the exponent of 

 the visit to the Kent Group of Islands. 



After this part of the programme was concluded the audience 

 adjourned to the lower hall, in which a large collection of 

 exhibits in illustration of the animal, vegetable, and mineral 

 kingdoms were arranged. Visitors to the number of some 700 

 honoured the Club by their presence, and rewarded exhibitors by 

 the marked and appreciative interest with which the various 

 exhibits were examined.
