Report of Council for 1944. 
To the Members of the Royal Society of Queensland. 
Your Council has pleasure in submitting the Annual Report of the 
Society for the year 1944. 
At Ordinary Meetings throughout the year four addresses were 
given, and two exhibit evenings held, while one evening was devoted t<? 
films, and another to a demonstration with short addresses. The annual 
Memorial Lecture was held this year in honour of Mr. H. ’Tryon, and 
was delivered by Mr. C. T. White under the title of “Henry Tryon and 
his place in Queensland Science/ ’ Twelve original papers were 
accepted for publication in the Proceedings. 
It has been decided that the Society may include in the Volume 
each year a section devoted to Miscellaneous Scientific Notes approved 
by the Council. Such notes should not in general exceed half a page 
in length, and if separates are desired by the author he should make the 
subject of the note an exhibit at a meeting, when, if the Hon. Secretary 
is notified immediately, he may obtain copies of the abstracts. 
The Chief Secretary’s Department has agreed to pay a £1 for £1 
subsidy for printing on papers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 published in Volume LV.
