the safeguarding of these reservations. A motion was also 
carried congratulating Mr. A. H. Chisholm on his action 
in attending a Land Court and endeavouring to prevent

NATl'RAL HISTORY EXHIBITION. 
The Wild Flower Show and General Natural History 
Exhibition, held at the School of Arts, Brisbane, on Satur- 
day evening, 25th September, was the most successful of 
its kind yet promoted by the Queensland Field Naturalists’ 
Club. There was a large attendance during the evening,, 
and a marked degree of interest was taken in the exhibition' 
generally. 
The Mayor of Brisbane (Alderman Maxwell), who- 
was introduced by the President of the Club (Mr. G. H. 
Barker), in opening the show, confessed that he had been 
greatly surprised to see such a splendid exhibition. He 
considered that the club was doing excellent service tO' 
the community, not only in acquainting people with the 
natural history of other States, but in teaching the beauties 
of the near-at-hand. He did not know any prettier city in 
Australia than Brisbane, and it was good to see that its 
neighbourhood and other Queensland centres could produce- 
such beautiful wild flowers. 
A brief account of each section (with the names of the- 
respective conveners in brackets ) is given below .
