October 17 . — Visitors included Mr. H. C. Raven, of 
the American Museum of Natural History, New York, who 
was welcomed by the President, Mr. Chisholm. Mr. W. R. 
Colledge gave an illustrated address dealing with certain 
phases of pond-life in the Brisbane district. Mr. J. E. 
Young showed lantern slides relating to Mount Lindsay 
and district, and remarked on the confusion of names that 
had arisen since Alan Cunningham’s day. Specimens of 
various kinds were shown by Dr. Jefferis Turner, Mr. 
Hainsworth, Mr. C. T. White, and Mr. N. V. Agnew, and 
a series of lantern slides showing the Pale-yellow Robin 
( Foecilodryas capito) at home was submitted by the 
President. 
November 7 . — The President detailed briefly the cir- 
cumstances surrounding the passage of the new Animals 
and Birds Act, which had passed the State Legislature in 
the last hour of the session, and which he regarded as the 
best measure of its kind in Australia. It was agreed to 
congratulate the Minister for Agriculture (Hon. W. N. 
Gillies) and the Under Secretary (Mr. E. G. E. Seriven) 
for their work in regard to the measure. 
Mr. C. T. White (Government Botanist), who had 
recently married another member of the Club, was, together 
with Mrs. White, presented with a dinner service. The 
President, in making the presentation on behalf of the 
Field Naturalists’ Club and the Gould League of Bird- 
lovers, pointed out that Mr. White was on the Councils of 
both bodies, and was a past-President and past-Secretary 
of the Club, while Mrs. White was a consistent worker in 
the Club’s interests. Messrs. Colledge, Tryon, and Long- 
man supported the felicitations, and Mr. White suitably 
replied. 
A paper on “ Insects Affecting the Wattle Trees” was 
read by Mr. R. Illidge, and instructive exhibits were shown 
by Mr. Illidge, Dr. Shaw, and Mr. Longman.
