REPORT OF COMMITTEE FOR 1910. 
Your Committee have much pleasure in presenting 
the fifth, annual report. 
The following office-bearers w'ere elected at the annual 
meeting held on 27th January, 1910, viz. : — Presidefit^ 
W. R. Colledge; Vice- President, Jos. Wedd ; Committee, 
Miss E. Brabazon, Miss A. Fortescue, G. H. Barker, E. 
Hurworth, H. Tiyon, and C. White ; Hon. Secretary and 
Treasurer, C. W. Holland. In pursuance of Rule Vll, 
S. B. J. Skertchly was a member of the Committe ex officio 
as Immediate Past President. 
Fourteen meetings of the Committee were held, and 
the attendances of members were as folows ; — W. R. 
Colledge, 11 ; Jos. Wedd, 6; Miss E. Brabazon, 4; Miss 
A. Fortescue, 4 ; G. H. Barker, 8 ; E. Hurworth, 1 ; S. 
B. J. Skertchly, 10 ; H. Tryon, 10 ; C. White, 13. 
Twelve new members were elected during the year, 
and the Club has now a roll of 106. It will be necessary 
shortly to revise the roll and remove therefrom the names 
of those who, having allowed their subscriptions to fall 
into arrear, have practically ceased to be members. 
Twelve evening meetings were held, and the attendance 
averaged 19, as against 25 in 1909. 
It became expedient early in the year to vacate the 
room in the Central Technical College hitherto used for the 
evening meetings, and one was obtained in the School of 
Arts. Later in the year, however, commodious rooms 
were secured at Petrie’s Bight on very reasonable terms. 
Nine excursions took place, the localities visited being 
One Tree Hill, Sandgate, Goodna, Glass House Moun- 
tains (3 days’ camp), Nudgee, Petrie’s Quarry, Northgate 
Junction, Newmarket and Ferney Flat. Like the evening 
meetings, the attendances were slightly below those of the 
previous year. 
The Club x^laced on record their deep sense of the 
loss occasioned to the Empire by the death of His Majesty 
King Edward VII. 
An event of some importance was the first visit to 
Queensland of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists’ 
Union, which took place in October. The Club having 
offered assistance, were entrusted by the Union with the 
arrangements for the Brisbane Session of three days. Mr.
