a height of 16 feet or so and attract thereto the beautiful parra- 
keets which clamber up and down^ their bright scarlet plumage 
forming the most remarkable contrast to the vivid green foliage 
of the plant. Here also are the kangaroo, wallaby, opossum and 
native porcupine, safe from the snare of the trapper; here also 
is the native bear, the rat Kangaroo and others, introduced from 
the mainland and given sanctuary. 
Not to-day perhaps, but in the distant future the splendid 
heritage will be appreciated.

A SUGGESTED AQUARIUM FOR HENLEY. 
The eighth annual meeting of the South Australian Aquarium 
Society was held on November 3rd; the annual report showed 
that members had again spent an active session. An Aquarium 
had been installed at the All Australian Exhibition, and had at- 
tracted many visitors. 
Some time ago the Society made an endeavour to stimulate 
public interest with a view to establishing an Aquarium at Glen- 
elg, a project which was reluctantly abandoned owing to lack 
of sufficient support. At the meeting Mr. Edgar R. Waite an- 
nounced that he had had several Interviews with Mr. Yeomans, 
Town Clerk of Henley Beach and Grange Municipal Council, 
with a view to advancing the expressed desire of the lattef to 
erect a Public Aquarium on the foreshores at Henley Beach. 
The meeting unanimously decided to wholeheartedly assist the 
President in supporting Mr. Yeomans. 
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: — 
President, Mr. Edgar R. Waite; Vice-presidents, Messrs J. W. 
Goodale and T. Nettlebeck; Committee, Miss Roeger and Messrs 
B. B. Beck, F. K. Boase, R. Carpenter and J, W. Hosking; Auditor 
Mr. A. E. Wadey; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Herbert M. Hale. 
HERBERT AI. HALE, Hon. Secretary.
