ANNUAL REPORT. 



The Council has to report that during the past year an effort 

 has been made to create a greater interest in independent research, 

 as promoted by this Society, by encouraging science students of 

 the University and the School of Mines to attend the ordinary 

 monthly meetings, and also by giving more publicity to them by 

 advertising in the daily press. These efforts have not been with- 

 out success, but the membership remains almost stationary. 



The membership of the Society consists of 11 Hon. Fellows, 

 68 Fellows, and 6 Corresponding Members. 



The second part of the " Memoirs," vol. I., dealing with the 

 Fossil Remains of Genyomis newtoni, from Lake Callabonna, 

 the joint production of Prof. E. C. Stirling, M. D., F.R.S., <fcc, 

 Director, and A. H. C. Zietz, F.L.S., C.M.Z.S., Assistant-Director, 

 -of the Adelaide Museum ; and the Physical Features of the Lake, 

 by the first-named scientist, has been issued. There seems to be 

 some outside interest in this work already, and, doubtless, when 

 it becomes better known it will find a very prominent place 

 amongst the scientific public. Mr. Walter Howchin, F.G-.S., 

 has extended his researches on Past Glacial Action in Southern 

 Yorke Peninsula, where he has made some interesting and valu- 

 able discoveries; while Prof. Ralph Tate, F.G.S., has brought 

 under the notice of this Society the unique discovery of fossil 

 remains in high Southern latitudes. 



A card catalogue of the Societv ; s books and scientific serial 

 literature is now being prepared, which it is hoped will at once 

 make these valuable works more accessible to the Fellows and 

 Members.
