Your Council has the pleasure of submitting the 
21st Annual Report of the Queensland Naturalists’ Club. 
Meeting's. — Ten Council meetings, eight general 
monthly meetings, two special meetings, a wild flower 
show, and eight field excursions have been held. During 
the year lectures, in many cases illustrated by lantern 
slides, have been given bv Prof. H. C. Richards and 
Messrs. D. A. Herbert, E. F. Pollock, Tom Tredale, J. E. 
Young, and A. H. Chisholm. 
The Wild Flower Show was held on a smaller scale 
than that of last year owing to the smaller size of the 
only available hall. Tts success was due to the help from 
many country friends and city members. 
Excursions. — The II 011 . Excursion Secretary (Mr. J. 
C. Smith) reports that eight excursions were held during 
the year, the places visited being Goodna, Myora (Easier), 
Brookfield, Woodridge, Sunnybank, Elimbah, Nudgee 
and Ashgrove. The Myora and Brookfield excursions 
were well attended, but the attendance at the others wa$ 
below the usual. Interesting collections were made, how- 
ever. on most of the trips.
