2. GEOLOGY. — Under this general head one would stud^' the:' 
formation of tlic rocks in t,he field and tlicir relations withll 
other series of rocks. 1 
.3. PHYSIOC^RAPHY.— I'he contours resulting in the genera^ ' 
weathering. and bending (jf the various strata into plains;-, 
and ranges would come under this Itcading. ' 
’I'he above will suffice to show members that there is a’ 
wide field to choose from and the best policy is for the nature, 
lovers to take an interest in the subject which appeals most. 
One cannot get far without having recourse to books and ofi 
tliese there is no end. Our Public Library is full of works deaU ' 
ing with the various sciences and the attendants are at the service 
■of the public so that by asking to be shown books on any given 
subject you are at once brought into touch with standard anclj 
up-to-date voluntes which will satisfy the most ardent student. I 
Our own Library which is stored in cupboards in the inner 
room here, has many works of interest and these books are an| 
the disposal of all the members. I can recommend the ‘'Vic- 
torian Naturalist” as a journal that contains a large number 
■of. articles on subjects which we all study and on others whichi| 
are little known. Just to take an example, taking a volume which' 
• covers three year’s publications, there were the following sub- 
jects dealt Avith — 
Botany, .-\boriginal Implements, Serpulids (the segmented,! 
AVormsL Butterflies, Fungi, Eucalypts, Shells, Aquatic Protozoa, 
(one-celled animals). Aquatic biology, Aquatic house-builders. 
Fossils, Ams and Termites, Sea Urchins, Crickets, Ferns, Spi- 
ders, Microscopy, Orchids. Insects generally. Birds, Beetles, Eth- 
nology, Salt, Thrips. 
And all of these written from the Australian standpoint. 
Then we have works dealing with special subjects so that you i 
have plenty of material to assist you in the study of almost am 
subject you care to take up. In conclusion, I would urge the 
members to lake up one special line of investigation, and^ I ann 
sure that those who know something pf the particular subject m 
■ question will only be too glad to give all the information possible 
to assist. Personally I am always ready to help in Botany and 
1 should like to see some members take up the study of Ferns 
cr Wattles or Grasses, or other such subjects.
