located, possibly owing to a more recent railway cutting. 
A ’bus trip to Mt. Cotton occupied Labour Day, in a 
district not much visited previously. 
Other trips were held to Broadwater Lagoons 
(general ) . Sandgate Lagoons (mainly ornithological) , 
Sunnybank (mainly botanical and ornithological), 
Draper’s Crossing (very poorly attended, botanical), 
Samford Range (leaving the train at summit and walking 
back to Ferny Grove, well attended, botanical, geological 
and ornithological). 
It is to be regretted that of late Entomology has not 
received the attention that it deserves, and it is to be hoped 
that our membership in this branch may ere long be in- 
creased. 
Oil the whole the attendance at outings has been good, 
but the results, especially as regards evening meetings, 
might be materially improved by more specialised study 
by members. 
Various members have made trips to other places 
further afield, such as Ballandean, National Park, Mt. 
Lindesav and Mt. Barney, Upper Albert River, Barrier 
Reef, etc., many of the results being communicated to the 
Club at meetings and in the “Queensland Naturalist.” 
BOOK REVIEW. 
“What Butterfly Is That?” by Dr. G. A. Water- 
house (Angus & Robertson), is a very welcome addition to 
our literature on Natural History, and a copy should be 
in the library of all field naturalists. Practically every 
Australian butterfly is figured, accompanied by a popular 
description, and an interesting account of its habits, life 
history and distribution. Each species has been given a 
common name in addition to full details of its taxonomic 
position. The chapter on collecting and the preparation 
of specimens is particularly instructive and valuable for 
Dr. Waterhouse is noted for the manner in which his 
specimens are mounted and arranged. The coloured 
plates are excellent, and even the novice should have no 
difficulty in identifying any butterfly he catches. To 
experienced collectors the book should prove an incentive 
to fill some of the few gaps in our knowledge of the life 
histories of Australian butterflies. It contains 279 pages 
and 34 plates, and is priced very reasonably at 12/6.
