THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST 
July 1, 1948. 
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ZOOLOGY 
CLUB FOR THE YEAR ENDING JULY 
31, 1947 
Attendance at the meetings of the Club 
has been smaller than for the previous year, 
the average being thirteen, but those who 
attend are keenly interested in this branch 
of Natural History, and very instructive meet- 
ings have been held. 
During the year talks have been 
given on 44 Crustaceans,” by Mr. H. 
M. Hale; “Lizards,” Mr. J. Mit- 
chell; “The Horse,” by Mr. J. H. Alderson, 
and “The Aquarium,” by Mr. J. E. Machell. 
The alternate months have been taken up with 
Club Studies on the Insects, led by Mr. Ed- 
quist. His talks, illustrated with blackboard, 
chart and pictures, have been much appre- 
ciated by all, as have been the talks by 
visiting speakers. 
At the end of 1946, the Club suffered the 
loss of its Secretary, Mr. G. King, who left 
South Australia. A further loss has now 
been sustained, as our Chairman, Mr. K. W. 
T. Dunstone, has also left the State. His 
interest in the Club, and his work on its 
behalf, has been much appreciated by all 
members, and we will miss him very much. 
We wish him well in his new' venture. 
The younger members of the Club have 
continued their keen interest, and are now 
busy preparing for the forthcoming Wild 
Flower and Natural History Show. 
In conclusion, we would like to thank all 
who have helped the Club in any way, and 
to give an invitation to all members of the 
Field Naturalists’ Section to come to the meet- 
ings of the Club, which are held on the 
third Friday of each month at 7.30 p.m. 
ALFRED E. MERCER, Secretary. 
KEN DUNSTONE, Chairman.
