the heaviest being lOf'n. in length and 10|in, in girth. The adzes were 

 from the My River, New Guinea, and were presented to the Museum 

 by the Rev. James Chalmers with other valuable and interesting ethno- 

 logical specimens. 



COMPLIMENTARY. 



The Chairman, in moving the customary votes of thanks to the 

 writers of the papers submitted, took the opportunity of comment- 

 ing upon some of them. Regarding the specimen of wood submitted 

 by Colonel Legge, he said he would not be at all surprised to find 

 that it was some resinous sort of pine and not a eucalypti. Tho 

 ornithological papers by Colonel Legge and Mr. Morton were most 

 interesting to lovers of natural history. Mr. Moore also deserved 

 the thanks of the Society for his paper, which was valuable, considered 

 as the result of careful observations. 



The meeting then concluded.
