“The Queensland Naturalist/' for September, 1924. 
Professor T. G. B. Osborne’s three lectures on “South Aus- 
tralian Plants in their Native Haunts.” given in July last as 
University extension lectures were a great treat to all 
interested in Botany. The lecturer dealt with 
the Mount Lofty type of forest, and that of 
the plains, the scrubs and the wonderful saltbush, as well as with 
the interesting flora of the outlying islands off the coast of Eyre 
Peninsula. 
Mr. E. H, Alatthews, of the Semaphore, known to many of 
oui members as an enthusiastic student and collector of marine 
life, has just returned (with half a ton of specimens) from an in- 
teresting collecting trip on the Great Barrier Reef and the island 
beaches of N. Queensland. FIis special study was chitons, of 
which he has brought back at least two new species. He found the 
climate delightful.
