which. Mr. Bage’s name was received testified to the esteem in which he is held 
by all who were present. The mention of Mr. Felton also produced long applause,

absence from the gathering, he had sent a handsome sum of money to be

HERBARIUM PRIZE. 
A peize of books of the value of two pounds is offered by Mr. C. R. Blackett, 
president of the Pharmacy Board, for the best herbarium collected in Yictoria 
between the first day of January and the first day of December, In the event of 
none of the collections possessing such an amount of merit as to warrant the 
council in awarding the prize, it will not be given. 
The collections must consist of phanerogamous plants and ferns, arranged 
according to the natural system of De Candolle or any other natural method in use, 
and be accompanied by lists arranged according to the same method, with the 
species numbered. 
The collector must follow the works of Mr. Bentham and Baron Yon Mueller. 
The name of each plant, its habitat and date of collection, must be stated on the 
paper on which it is preserved. Each collection must be accompanied by a declara- 
tion signed by the collector to the following effect: — “The plants which are 
forwarded with this declaration were collected by myself between the first day of 
January and the first day of December, 18 , and were named and arranged 
without assistance but that derived from books.” 
In estimating the merits of the collections not only will the number of 
specimens be taken into account, but also their rarity or otherwise, and the 
manner of preservation, and, should a specimen be wrongly named, it will be 
erased from the list. 
The collections must be forwarded to the secretary on or before the thirty-first 
day of December, endorsed “Herbarium for Competition.” After the prize is 
awarded the collections are retained one month under the care of the secretary for 
the inspection of persons connected with the society, and then returned to 
the collectors if required. 
Competitors must be registered apprentices or students of the society, and 
under twenty-one years of age.
