view and refreshments were kindly provided by some of the mem- 
bers. This innovation proved a great success, and it is hoped that 
a similar exhibition may become an annual feature of the Society’s 
work. 
Several members of the Society were privileged to join in the 
excursions arranged for the yisiting members of the British Associa- 
tion in July and August. Prof. Dakin also conducted an excursion 
to the zigzag on the slopes of Gooseberry Hill. 
The list of Societies and Institutions which forward copies of 
their publications in exchange for the Society’s Journals has been 
considerably increased during the year, and as soon as funds are 
available further bookshelves will have to be provided. A large 
number of pamphlets and parts of journals also require binding. 
The most important donation to the library was a gift of numerous 
books and journals made by Mr. W. D. Campbell. 
Volume 5 of the Journal of the Natural History and Science 
Society of Western Australia was published in March at a cost of 
£69 5s. l%d. Most of the manuscripts for the First Volume of the 
Royal Society’s Proceedings are now in the hands of the Government 
Printer, and it is hoped that this will shortly be ready for distribu- 
tion to members.
