NOTES. 



The first number of Vol. VII. of "The Practical Photographer " 

 is to hand; it is enlarged, and contains many interesting articles 

 and numerous well executed illustrations. This Journal 

 promises to take a leading place amongst the photographic 

 publications. We have also received No. 1, Vol. XI. (new 

 series) of " The Photographic News"; it is full of valuable 

 photographic information and well illustrated throughout. 

 This journal offers liberal prizes to photographers for com- 

 petitive work in writing papers and in photography. 



The Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition and Congress of 

 Photography to be opened on 22nd of April promises to be a 

 big affair, and should fairly establish the system inaugurated 

 by our Association last year. Our members are working for 

 this event, and we hope to be able to record a similar proportion 

 of awards for them as was gained at Launceston. The latest 

 time for receiving entries is 2nd April, and all intending 

 exhibitors are requested to be in time. The Executive Com- 

 mittee are working up topics for discussion at the Congress, 

 and already some important ones have been received by our 

 Secretary from Mr. Hart, for the consideration of the Association. 



Remember that hypo will not fix plates for ever and a 

 day, so do not use it till it is the colour of ink and thick 

 enough to walk on.
