Mr. A. Liebmann then read a short note on ‘ Matabeleland and 
Mashonaland—Facts and Figures ”—a reply to Mr. Schunke in which 
he endeavoured to shew from the published accounts of travellers that 
Mr. Schunke was in error in stating that the Mashonaland plateau was 
‘small in extent and likely to prove unhealthy for European settlers. 
Mr. Schunke replied to Mr. Liebmann’s strictures and maintained 
‘the accuracy of his statements and deductions. 
Mr. Liebmann also read a paper on “ Australia and South Africa, 
Similitudes and Contrasts.” 
There was not time for any discussion on this paper and after 
the Society’s thanks had been voted to Mr. Liebmann for his papers
