List of Coleoptera collected by Mr. Jameson on the Aruwisni. 
A letter was read from the Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands 
in reply to one written by the General Secretary re the supposed 
existence of fossil remains on Dassen Island. He reported that a 
thorough search had been made all over the island but no trace of such 
remains could be found. 
By an unfortunate mischance, due to the want of sufficient accommo— 
dation for the books and pamphlets belonging to the Society, this 
letter had been delayed in delivery. 
The question of increased accommodation for books was referred to- 
the Council.

Mr. Schlechter had also found a very considerable number of plants. 
which had not previously been found on the Peninsula. 
Mr. Brady exhibited a very beautiful nest made by some bees in the
