QUEENSLAND NATURALIST CLUB. 
Annual Report of the Council for the Year 1924. 
Nine Council and eight Ordinary meetings have been 
held during the year, together with the usual field ex- 
cursions. Council and ordinary meetings have been well 
attended, and the interest in Saturday afternoon excur- 
sions and the various camps has been Avell maintained 
Field Excursions. — Early in the year the President, 
Professor E. J. Goddard, outlined a general scheme for 
the complete biological survey of the area between the 
Brisbane and Pine Rivers that might be made the objec- 
tive of the Club during the year, and promised to make 
cabinets at the University available to house specimens 
and material collected. In pursuance of this scheme, all 
Saturday afternoon excursions for the year were held iji 
the one area. Enoggera, Lawnton, Mitchelton, Bald Hills 
and Niidgee were each visited, but the result showed tliat 
the time was not yet ripe for such a proposition to be 
undertaken by the Naturalist Chib. A plan of that 
nature, excellent though it might be, needs a much larger 
and more enthusiastic membership of younger members 
than the Club has at present. 
The Easter excursion to Moreton Island was well 
organised and attended; over 40 members were in camp, 
and the result of the observation during the Easter period 
made an interesting number for the ‘^Queensland 
Naturalist.” 
The Beerwah trip, early in September, was also 
successful. The , honorary Excursion Secretary (Mr. J. 
C. Smith), is to be congratulated on the arrangements 
for these extended trips.
