fact that the library cupboard could no longer be accom- 
modated in the rooms where the Club meets. 
Meanwhile literature received in exchange for “The 
Queensland Naturalist” has been stored. It is hoped that, 
in the near future, arrangements will be made to place a 
cupboard in the premises of the Brisbane Women’s Club 
so that members will again be able to use the library.

REPORT ON EXCURSIONS, 1950 
An interesting series of outings were arranged for 
members during the year. No excursion was held in 
February. The first outing for the year, in March, was 
a walk from Bald Hills to Sandgate. Birds and plants 
provided the main interest. 
The Easter camp at Cunnnigham’s Gap was attended 
by about thirty members and in spite of the adverse 
weather conditions some observations were made on Mt. 
Mitchell and Mt. Bordeaux. 
In May, Club members joined a “Save the Trees 
Campaign” excursion to the Beerwah Forestry Station 
while in June a week-end was spent at Dr. E. 0. Mark’s 
house at Camp Mountain where, as always, the stay was 
a pleasant one. Owing to wet weather no excursion was 
held in July. 
The August outing was a w r alk to the top of Mt. 
Gravatt. Several birds were seen and flowers and shrubs 
were examined. Splendid panoramic views of the city 
and surrounding country were obtained from the summit. 
The September excursion to The Blunder had wild- 
flowers as its main interest. 
In the following month, October, members enjoyed 
an afternoon walk in the Thornside district. In Novem- 
ber members went to Shorncliffe where geological struc- 
tures were examined and some fossil plants were 
collected. They then continued to Sandgate where the 
bird-life of the foreshore and lagoons was observed.
