Messrs. E. T. Holdaway, J. L. Schofield, Miss Holland, 
Sgt. Ed. Williams, Mr. Barker and Mr. Longman. 
At the evening meeting in April, Mr. Payne, an offi-

showing various studies of animal and bird life. The 
September evening meeting was devoted to exhibits ; many 
interesting specimens were tabled by members; Messrs.

structive comments on their exhibits. 
Reports of the monthly field excursions were given

by members and commented on ; many other interesting

suddenly after a few days illness, Mrs. Williams had been 
ill for some months ; Ken Jackson was killed in action in 
New Guinea on January 12th. 
Four new members have been elected during the year 
and five resignations received. There are now 143 mem- 
bers of the Club ; 6 honorary members, 20 country mem-

source of pleasure and information for members.
