NATURE LOVERS’ LEAGUE.— The Hon. Secretary 
of the Nature Lovers’ League (Miss I. D. Grimes) re- 
ports as follows : — 
The sub-committee appointed by the Council of the 
Queensland Naturalists’ Club to further the work of the 
Nature Lovers’ League, for the year 1929, has the honour 
to submit its report. 
Under the chairmanship of Dr. D. A. Herbert, meet- 
ings were held at the Herbarium, Botanic Gardens. 
The activities of the league this year have been con- 
fined to the giving of weekly lectures dealing with dif- 
ferent branches of natural history, to the students of the 
Teachers’ Training College. The Principal of the College 
had again expressed his appreciation of these lectures, so 
they were given as in former years, from May to October, 
by Dr. D. A. Herbert, Dr. F. W. Whitehouse, and 
Messrs. C. T. White and G. H. Barker. 
The sale of Nature Lovers’ League Certificates was 
very small compared with that of the year before, only 
fifteen being asked for. There is still an ample supply of 
the certificates available for those who want them. 
GENERAL. — Owing to- representations from this 
Club, protection that had been given to the iguana was 
rescinded. 
A deputation from the Club obtained a promise from 
the Premier (Hon. A. E. Moore) that the regulations in 
regard to ’possum shooting would be strictly enforced. 
A request from the Aquarium and Terrarium Society 
for affiliation was considered, and the necessary altera- 
tions made in the rules to allow of the societies having 
similar aims to affiliate. 
The National Parks League invited the co-operation 
of the Club in matters affecting the welfare of National 
Parks in Queensland. Attention was drawn to* the kill- 
ing of duck and wallaby on Peel Island, and a sub-com- 
mittee has been formed to make further inquiries.
