XIV. ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. 



September 1903, I give it herewith, especially as the excellent 

 photograph enables a correction to be made: — "Richard Cunning- 

 ham, Government Botanist of this Colony, attached to an exploring 

 expedition under command of Major Mitchell, Surveyor General, 

 wandered in his enthusiasm for botanical investigation from his 

 companions, and losing himself in this locality of the Bogan River, 

 fell into the hands of the aboriginals, by whom he was unfortu- 

 nately killed, about 25th of April, 1835, in the 42nd year of his 

 age. This tablet is erected to his memory by a vote of the Parlia- 

 ment of New South Wales through the C.C. of (Commissioner of 

 Crown) Lands by S. R. Daniel, C.C.L. (Commissioner Crown 

 Lands) of the Wellington District."
