ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. 19 
University Park, Wentworth Park, Victoria Park, and Centen- 
nial Park, were laid out by Mr. Moore. Through Mr. Moore a 
lecture hall was erected in the Botanic Gardens, and for many 
years he delivered series of popular lectures, which were well 
attended, the lectures being discontinued only when the subject 
of botany came to be taught at the University of Sydney. In 
1850 Mr. Moore made a voyage for botanic research purposes to 
the New Hebrides, Queen Charlotte Group, the Solomon Islands, 
and New Caledonia. In 1867 he went to the Paris Exhibition 
in the capacity of New South Wales Commissioner, and in 1874 
he was delegate for New South Wales at the Universal Botanical 
Conference at Florence. 
Mr. Moore’s chief published works are ‘‘ Woods of New South 
Wales,” “Census of the Plants of New South Wales,” and in 
collaboration with Mr. Betche “ Flora of New South Wales.” 
His good nature and courtesy are as well known to the public as 
to his colleagues on the Council of this Society and on the Board 
of Trustees of the Australian Museum. While Mr. Moore has 
merited the gratitude of the people of New South Wales for 
having added so much elegance and beauty to their capital city, 
he deserves the special thanks of this Society for his long and 
useful services on our Council. You will all, I know, unite with 
me in wishing Mr. Moore health and happiness in the future 
during his well earned rest from his official labours. 
And here I am reminded that among those who formerly 
attended Mr. Moore’s lectures was our new President, and this is 
a fitting occasion, I venture to think, for us to wish Mr. Maiden 
every success in the administration of the important office to 
which he has been appointed, and for which his past training 
and experience should ‘so eminently fit him. 
Geological Survey of New South Wales.—The most important 
work, economically at all events, accomplished lately by the 
Geological Survey has been the determination by Mr. Pittman of 
a great development of strata of Triassic Age holding artesian 
water in New South Wales. The probability that some of the
