Mr. V. Greening, Mr. T. Marshall, Mr. W. F. Bevington, 
Prof. Arnold Wall, Mr. G. II. Barker and Mr. C. T.

The September meeting was devoted to exhibits, 
mainly wild flowers, some sent by country members and 
several lots gathered from nearer localities by town mem- 
bers. Descriptions of these specimens were given by Dr. 
D. A. Herbert, Mr. S. T. Blake and others. 
Exhibits of varied interest have been tabled by mem- 
bers and suitable comments made on them.

visited several places of interest, including St. Lucia, 
Petrie, the Museum, Kalinga Park, Mount Coot-tlia and

members have been admitted during the year. 
“The Queensland Naturailst.” — Three issues of the 
Journal have been made during the year. 
“Nature Lovers’ League.” — At the Museum many 
children have been interested, and signed the Nature 
Lovers’ pledge.

LIBRARY REPORT FOR 1939. 
The Library still continues to be a popular section 
of the Club, about 138 magazines and 82 books having 
been lent to members during the year. 
There has been a marked increase in the number of 
books lent during the past two years, showing that the 
selection purchased during that time has proved very 
acceptable to members. 
I would like -to suggest that a further small selection 
for the forthcoming year would probably be very well 
received.
