The Presidential Address of Dr. J. B. Cleland read 
by the Chairman, Mr. Bernard H. Woodward. 
Numerous specimens were shown by members from time to 
time and much interest was evinced concerning them and the 
remarks made by the exhibitors. 
The field excursions included visits to Gooseberry Hill, 
Parkerville, Kelmscott, and a Dredging Expedition on the lower 
reaches of the Swan River. It is hoped that the excursions will 
be held more frequently and that all members will endeavour to 
make them successful. 
It is very satisfactory to be able to announce that the repeated 
efforts made by the Society have at last resulted in the Procla- 
mation of Barrow Island as a Fauna and Flora Reserve. 
During the Session two numbers of the Journal, Nos. 5 and 6, 
have been published, whilst the manuscript of No. 7 will be in 
the hands of the printer before the end of the present month. 
Turning to the financial position of the Society, it is necessary 
to point out that although £37 5s. 6d. was received in subscriptions, 
against £8 8s. of the previous Session, there is a loss of over £30 
on the year’s workings, partly due to the fact that the Government 
Grant was not paid before June 30th, although it has since come 
to hand, and partly because of the heavy cost of Journal No. 6, 
which was unusually bulky and contained several plates. 
If the Society is to continue and enlarge its useful work 
and publish several numbers of the Journal yearly, it is essential 
that many new members must be induced to join, and it is the 
earnest hope of your Council that all members will endeavour, to 
the utmost of their power, to induce their friends to become 
members and assist it in the task of studying and examining and 
1 describing by means of papers and other contributions the, as yet, 
little known Flora and Fauna of this vast State.
