The competition is in no way confined to members of the Society 

 nor to residents in Australia, but is open to all without any 

 restriction whatever, excepting that a prize will not be awarded 

 to a member of the Council for the time being ; neither will an 

 award be made for a mere compilation, however meritorious in its 

 way. The communication, to be successful, must be either wholly 

 or in part the result of original observation or research on the 

 part of the contributor. 



The Society is fully sensible that the money value of the prize 

 will not repay an investigator for the expenditure of his time and 

 labour, but it is hoped that the honour will be regarded as a sufficient 

 inducement and reward. The successful papers will be published 

 in the Society's annual volume. Fifty reprint copies will be 

 furnished to the author free of expense. 



Competitors are requested to write upon foolscap paper — on 

 one side only. A motto must be used instead of the writer's name,
