Dr. P. H. Quaife then showed lantern slides of a natural 

 tree-graft on portions of a tree of Angophora lanceolata, 

 growing at Killara, the main fusion of the two large limbs 

 being about three feet three inches long. 



Remarks were made by Mr. Maiden, His Honour Judge 

 Docker, Mr. A. B. Hector and the President. 



Dr. Quaife also showed lantern slides of miniature earth 

 pillars, from one to four inches high, formed by rain on a 

 sand-heap at Killara, the top of the pillars being protected 

 by small pieces of ironstone. These resembled, on a small 

 scale, the large pillars of 40 to 50 feet high in Colorado, 

 U.S.A., referred to in the "Encyclopedia Britannica," 11th 

 edition.
