 Council, considering the subject of animal poisoning one of so much 

 importance, not only to the Australian Colonies, but to the whole 

 civilized world, made a grant from the funds of the Society, to assist 

 Professor Halford in proceeding with his investigations, and brought 

 the entire subject under the notice of the Chief Secretary. 

 " The value of the paper communicated by Captain Perry has not 

 been overlooked, and the Council has taken action with a view of 

 impressing upon the Board of Navigation the necessity of a thorough 

 inquiry into the matter.
