Nest " from its commanding situation. Wollstonecraft 

 died on 7th December, 1832, aged 49 years, and was buried 

 at the Sydney Burial ground. In March, 1848, his remains 

 were removed to St. Thomas' Cemetery, North Sydney, 

 and deposited in the tomb of his sister, Mrs. Alexander 

 Berry. 



The President on behalf of the Council invited members 

 to visit Kurnell, on Saturday, the 10th December, 1921, 

 and view the brass tablet which the President and members 

 of the Philosophical Society of Australasia had erected on 

 the cliffs in memory of the landing of James Cook and 

 Joseph Banks. 



Mr. J. H. Maiden contributed the following notes: — 

 Little more than a quarter of a century ago the memorial 

 plate of the Philosophical Society of Australasia at Botany 

 Bay (see this Journal, VoL lii, p. 218) had been practically 

 forgotten. In October, 1895, attention was drawn by 

 Mr. Joseph Pyett to the existence of this plate, and I had 

 a plaster impression taken of it and specimens of the cast 

 placed with the Royal Society, the Public Library, the 

 University and the Technical College. Our specimen is 

 before you, and the reproduction is excellent. 



Through the generosity of the British Museum, the 

 National Herbarium has a fine collection of the plants 

 collected by Banks and Solander at Kurnell (see the Annual 

 Report of the Botanic Gardens for the year 1905, presented 

 to Parliament, for a complete list; see also this Journal 

 xxxix, 34, for au account of the British Museum publication 

 concerning them).
