May, 1932. 
one former member has rejoined the Club. Through pres- 
sure of business, and in a few cases financial stringency, 
fifteen members have resigned ; five have moved and given 
no new address, and two unfinancial members have been re- 
moved from the list of members. Club membership now 
stands at 141, of whom 6 are honorary members, 102 or- 
dinary town members, and 33 country members. 
THE .NATURE LOVERS’ LEAGUE.— There was 
little work done in connection with the League. A few 
certificates were sold. 
‘ ‘ QUEENSLAND NATURALIST. ’ ’■ — It is regretted 
that only two issues of the Club Journal were published 
during the year. A small sub-committee was appointed 
to assist the Editor. Members having notes of interest are 
requested to forward them to the Editor. 
GENERAL. — During the year the “Native Plants 
Protection Act” became law, and it is hoped that the in- 
discriminate plucking of Wildflowers will be checked. 
Several rangers have been appointed. 
Several portions of land have been proclaimed as re- 
serves; one of the latest being a piece at Sunnybank, near 
Brisbane. 
LIBRARY.— The Hon Librarian (Mrs. Eva M. Jack-

to time presented many copies of “Bird Lore,” and 17 
parts of “ Hutchinson \s Popular Botany” were also do- 
nated by Mr. C. T. White 
Book Section. — This section is very popular, although 
the number of volumes has not increased as much 
as might be desired, only two books having been added 
during the year, namely, “The Field Book of a Jungle 
Wallah,” donated by Dr. E. 0. Marks, and “Thirty Years

As the Library is such a very popular section of the 
Club, especially with the younger members, a few good 
books on Natural History subjects, i.e., botany, ornithology,
