The Queensland Naturalist August, 1941 
MEETINGS. — There have been ten evening meetings 
which were held monthly, except during the mid-winter 
recess. Ten field excursions and ten Council meetings have 
also taken place. Attendance at the Council meetings has 
been as follows: — Mr. H. E. Young, 9; Mr. S. T. Blake,

D. A. Herbert, 6; Dr. W. H. Bryan, 4; Mr. G. L. Jackson, 
7. The Hon. Treasurer (Miss Clarke) was transferred 
by her employers to Mackay, and had perforce to relinquish 
her position as an office-bearer of the Club. Miss E. N. 
Marks kindly consented to carry on the duties of the 
position for the remainder of the year. The attendance at 
the evening meetings has been good, the average number of 
members and friends present being 40. Interesting and 
instructive lectures and papers dealing with various 
branches of natural history have been given and read dur- 
ing the year. Many were illustrated by lantern slides, and 
in nearly all cases exhibits illustrating the subject matter 
of the addresses were tabled. The lecturers included 
Messrs. A. R, Trist, E. W. Bick, W- G. Wells, H. W. Her- 
mann, Dr. R. Hamlyn Harris, Mr. C. T. White, Dr. D. A. 
Herbert, Mrs. Herbert Curtis, and Mr. J. H. Simmonds. 
The September meeting of the Club was devoted to 
exhibits. Much emphasis was placed on the wild flower 
section. Other sections included photographs, geological 
specimens, etc. 
Reports of the monthly field excursions were given at 
the succeeding monthly meeting by members who acted as 
leaders in the various branches of natural history studied 
during the outing. Specimens collected were exhibited and 
discussed. 
A considerable number of interesting exhibits were 
tabled at the monthly meetings by various members and 
commented on by those present.
