 care. It would be desirable to compare these specimens with 

 others resulting from the same natural kingdoms in different parts 

 of the world; and therefore the Australasian Society would feel 

 much gratified in receiving from the duplicates of 



such specimens as they may possess, an interchange that may 

 tend to further and elucidate the objects of enquiry of each body. 



"The names and rank of the Members of our Society are

Resolved, That the Museum Committee be requested to 

 open a Book for the purpose of entering a Catalogue of the

 the locality and nature of such specimens; and that the
