The Queensland Naturalist 
May, 1933 
Although perhaps unknown to some of the more re- 
cent members, an Album solely devoted to snapshots of 
Club activities and interests, is kept in the Library, and 
any photos of that nature which could be spared by mem- 
bers would be most gratefully received. 
The scrap-book, which was acquired for the purpose 
of holding suitable pictures, is in need of donations, which 
would also be much appreciated. 
The parcels of magazines, etc., forwarded from time to 
time to country members by the Hon. Secretary, are 
proving acceptable and several requests for further parcels 
have been received. 
Excursions . — The lion. Excursion Secretary (Mr. J. 
Edgar Young) reports: —

have been held as usual, there having been eleven in all, 
one having to be cancelled owing to lack of support. 
The Easter Camp in March, being as always the most

in the Samford district. It was attended by 35 persons. 
Here by the courtesy of Mr. Harlan, we were fortunate in

going to the new A.M.P. Building in Brisbane. 
The surrounding mountains were: Glorious, Samp- 
son, Lawson, O’Reilly and D 'Aguilar. 
Various trips were made to each of these vantage 
points, also to the scrubs on the creeks and mountain sides, 
and many prized specimens of various kinds were collect- 
ed, mostly botanical in nature, also protographs and one 
or two moving pictures. 
One other week-end was spent at Bribie Island in 
September, and enjoyed by about 12 members, the 
locality in this case being sandy bush and swamp. The 
interests were mostly botanical and ornithological. 
Other day and half-day excursions were held to the 
City Council Laboratory, where t lie methods of mosquito 
control were explained by Dr. Hamlyn Harris. 
The Bora Ring, in Ferny Grove District, was visited 
by quite a number of members on a showery afternoon. 
The ring, made by aboriginals for ceremonial purposes, 
was plainly visible, also the old track towards a second 
and smaller ring, which could not, however, be definitely
