The Queensland Naturalist August 1946 
and his demise was a great loss to science in Queensland. 
Other prominent workers among tire foundation mem- 
bers were L. C. Green, George Gross and J. Douglas Ogilby, 
Geology, Conehology and Icthyology being their respective 
spheres. Each was a specialist in his particular line and 
gave strong assistance to the Club. 
Soon after foundation came, AY. K. (,'olledge, by whose 
death on 26th August. 1928, the Club lost one of its most 
foremost workers. lie was born in the North of England, 
but spent the greater part of his life in Queensland. He 
was interested in microscopy, more especially in pond life, 
in which branch lie carried out much original work, parti- 
cularly among Rotifers. Practically every Club meeting 
he had something to communicate, and liis talks always gave 
pleasure to his listeners. He contributed a goodly num- 
ber of papers both to the Club and the Royal Society. 
Cyril T. White, the present Government Botanist, 
grandson of F. M. Bailey, has been keenly interested in 
the Club from his youth, and has been a tower of strength 
to it. Other members who have rendered yeoman service 
are G. H. Barker and IT. A. Longman, late Director of the 
Queensland Museum. No further reference is made here to 
these valuable members as they are of the present gener- 
ation. 
Two prominent naturalists and early members who 
should not be forgotten are John R. Sankey and John 
O’N. Brenan. The former was a member of the Field 
Naturalists Section of the Royal Society formed in 1886 
and used to roam the countryside with Rowland [Ridge 
in those far-off days. Mr. Brenan had a most extensive 
knowledge of our native birds, bv which Hie Club bene- 
fited on many occasions. Dr. T. P. Lucas was another of 
the early members. He was recognised as an expert on 
moths, and often he could he seen collecting those inter- 
esting insects round the electric lamps in the city. Then 
there was Edmund Jarvis, an entomologist with artistic 
skill in portraying insects. 
Professors H. C. Richards and T. Harvey Johnston 
joined tiie Club iu 1910 and 1911, respectively The 
latter was President in 1916. Both have given papers to 
tiie dub and assisted in other ways.
