The Queensland Naturalist. August, 1937. 
The Easter Excursion to the Upper Albert River was 
one of the most successful we have held, and was attended 
by over 60 members. 
Attendance at Council meetings has been as follows: 
Mr. Young, 10; Mr. Barker, 9; Dr. Herbert, 6; Dr. Bryan, 
5; Miss Baird, 10, Mr. Kunze, 9; Mrs. Jackson, 7; Dr. 
Marks, 7; Mr. Jackson, 7; Mr. Rowley, 4; Mi*. Jack, 8; 
Mr. Sanderson, 6; Mr. White, 6. 
Membership . — It is with great regret that the death 
of an old and valued member, Mr. P. Sylow, is recorded. 
He served the club for some years as Honorary Treasurer, 
and will be much missed at meetings and outings. 
The membership now stands at 126; of whom 7 are 
honorary members, 97 town, and 22 country members. 
Resignations have been accepted from four members, and 
eight have been elected. 
“The Naturalist . ” — Two issues of the journal have 
been published during the year. 
General . — It was noted with pleasure that a request 
to remove timber from a National Park had been refused 
by the Secretary for Public Lands (the Hon. P. Pease), 
the Minister administering the National Parks Act. 
Library . — The Honorary Librarian (Mrs. G. L. Jack- 
son) reports that the library still continues to be well 
patronised by members. 
About 62 books and 132 magazines have been lent 
during the year to members attending the Monthly Meet- 
ings. By this it can be seen that the Magazine section is 
the most popular, and the addition of the English Geo- 
graphical and Walkabout Magazines has been much appre- 
ciated. 
Thanks are extended to Mr. J. Nebe and Mr. G. IT. 
Barker for their generous donations of magazines. In 
addition to these, Mr. Barker has also presented three very 
•fine works, viz., "Red Centre/ ’ by IT. IT. Einlavson, 
"Birds of Cape York Peninsula, ” by Donald F. Thom- 
son, and "Wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, ” by F. C. 
Roughley. 
As in the past, any future donations of books dealing 
with subjects of interest to the Club, will be gratefully 
received. 
The Secretary reports that the requests for pamph- 
lets and magazines from country members have decreased, 
so that fewer parcels are being despatched. 
Finanee . — The financial statement as read by the Hon. 
Treasurer (Mr. F. V. Kunze), showed a credit balance of 
£94/7/11.
