The South Australian Naturalist. 
EVENING LECTURE BY MR. WALTER GILL FLS 
NOVEMBER IS. 
Mr. Gill delighted a large audience with fine views of forest 
scenes in the various states. The pictures were not only very in- 
formative but of great artistic merit and Mr. Gill's racy com- 
ments were much enjoyed. Those present gained some idea of 
the work that has been done in forestry as well as of the possibili- 
ties of the future and the responsibility of the citizens to push 
on with the work of forestry in Australia.
