Report of Council for 1942. 
To the Members of the Royal Society of Queensland. 
Your Council has pleasure in submitting the Annual Report for 
the year 1942. 
Nine original papers, of which six were read or tabled at Ordinary 
meetings, were accepted for publication in the Proceedings, two 
symposia were held, two addresses given, and three evenings were 
devoted principally to exhibits and lantern lectures. The average 
attendance was forty. 
The Chief Secretary’s Department has agreed to pay a £1 for £1 
subsidy for printing on Papers 7-13 published in Volume LIII. of the 
Proceedings and judged of value from a Governmental point of view. 
The Council acknowledges this subsidy with gratitude.

ing members, 189 ordinary members, and 5 associate members in the 
Society. This year the Society has lost one member killed on active

are engaged on active service, and others are engaged in special work 
for the war effort.
