This amount we will probably get back at Easter as 
there is generally a. small surplus left after all expenses 
are paid. 
Another extra, item of expenditure this year was for 
some necessary new books for the library. 
Finally, 1 will draw your attention to the items con- 
cerning Nature Lovers ’ Certificates. 
As you know, at one time this was a distinct body 
which was absorbed by us in 1936, together with a fund of 
£14/18/10, which since that time has been part of our 
total bank balance, though it does not belong to us as a 
Club. During 1936 and 1937 the sales of Certificates 
only amounted to 7/8, but owing to the efforts and 
enthusiasm of both Mr. H. A. Longman and Mr. Beving- 
ton, late Inspector of Schools, who talk to the children at 
the Museum, considerable numbers of these young folk 
have been interested in the idea of saving instead of 
maiming bird and animal life, and the sales of the Certifi- 
cates have increased this year to the amount of £26/12/-, 
and all in pennies; that is, 6,384 children have signed a 
Treaty of Peace with the Wild Life of Australia. 
It was necessary to get a new issue of the Certificates, 
which we did, and it cost us £36/8/-, less a grant from the 
Government of £10. The money comes back to our account 
as the Certificates are sold, but it does not belong to the 
Club as such. The Nature Lovers’ League Certificates 
Account, therefore, is as follows: —
