establishment of larger reserves for native Fauna and Flora. 

 It was also one of the Societies which arranged for the 

 delivery, by Professor R. J. A. Berry, of Melbourne, of three- 

 lectures upon "Child Welfare from the standpoint of Science, 

 and its bearing upon National Efficiency." At the conclu- 

 sion of these lectures a resolution was carried that, "In the 

 opinion of this meeting it is essential that effective measures 

 be taken in the immediate future for the investigation, study, 

 and solution of the problem associated with the mental status 

 and development of the children of South Australia." The 

 provisional committee appointed to carry this resolution into 

 effect, including five Fellows of this Society, appointed a sub- 

 committee to consider an effective plan of action, and to 

 report to the full committee. It is hoped that the result of 

 such action will be the growt-h of a sounder public opinion 

 upon these subjects. 



The present membership of the Society comprises 9 Hon- 

 orary Fellows, 4 Corresponding Members, 81 Fellows, and 

 1 Associate.
