NOTICE. 



The Royal Society of New South Wales originated in 1821 as 

 the "Philosophical Society of Australasia"; after an interval of 

 inactivity, it was resuscitated in 1850, under the name of the 

 "Australian Philosophical Society," by which title it was known 

 until 1856, when the name was changed to the "Philosophical 

 Society of New South Wales"; in 1866, by the sanction of Her 

 Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, it assumed its present title, 

 and was incorporated by Act of the Parliament of New South 

 Wales in 1881. 



NOTICE TO AUTHORS. 



The Honorary Secretaries request that authors of papers (to be 

 read before the Royal Society of New South Wales) requiring 

 illustrations by photo-lithography, will, before preparing such 

 drawings, make application to the Assistant Secretary for patterns 

 of the standard sizes of diagrams &c. to suit the Society's Journal.

 " From additional information furnished by my valued correspondent 

 in answer to further enquiries made by me while this paper was in the 

 press, I have found that some slight errors, incidental to information 

 obtained through a correspondent five hundred miles distant, have 

 been made in describing the equipment of the messengers, and in the 

 details of the formalities observed on their arrival at a camp when bear- 

 ing the summons to attend a Bora, (p. 107); in the particulars of the 

 preliminary daily performances of the women and boys at the larger 

 circle, (p. 115); and in the account of the ceremonies immediately pre- 

 ceding the departure from the larger circle of the novices with their 

 guardians, (pp. 117-118). The amended information will be offered by 

 me to the Society in another paper dealing with initiation ceremonies."
