XX11. ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. 



(iii ) During the present year, Dr. G. V. Perez of Teneriffe, well 

 known for his experiments in scientific horticulture, informed me 

 that in order to render more stable the beautiful, yet notoriously 

 uncertain, E.Jicifolia he had grafted it by approach on E. calo- 

 phylla var. rosea, placing the stock in a large and -long bamboo, 

 "and attach it to the tree I wish to graft on and propagate." This, 

 like the others, is but a preliminary note. 



Owing to Mr. A. B. Hector having met with an accident 

 which prevented his attendance at the meeting, the motion 

 standing in his name in regard to the housing of the Society, 

 was postponed until next year. On the motion of Mr. 

 Maiden it was decided to forward to Mr. Hector an ex- 

 pression of the sympathy of members in his painful illness 

 and their best wishes for a speedy recovery. 



DECEMBER 3rd, 1919. 



The four hundred and eleventh General Monthly Meet- 

 ing was held at the Society's House, 5 Elizabeth Street, 

 Sydney, at 8 p.m.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and
