excursions. 
As a Society for furthering the study of field observations, the 
Committee regret that the excursions have not been as frequent nor 
as largely attended as desired, but hope to do more in this respect 
during the coming year, when arrangements will be made to include at 
least two dredging trips in the syllabus. Illness of the leaders or their 
unavoidable absence from town prevented two excursions from being held 
but the following is a record of those which took place :— 
September 12th . Botanical to Cascades with Mr. L. Rodway as 
leader ; fair collecting done but heavy rain came on during afternoon. 
October 24th, Botanical and Ornithological to Mount Nelson. 
Leaders, Messrs. L. Rodway and C. E. Lord. A well attended and 
successful outing. 
November 14th. Botanical Gardens. Leaders, Messrs. Robt. Hall 
and L. Rodway. A profitable afternoon was spent by many who 
attended. 
February 20ih. Shore-life to Bellerive. Leader, Mr. Robt. Hall. 
Much interesting material was obtained. 
March 6th . General collecting to Risdon. Afternoon spoiled by 
heavy rain. 
April 24th . Held in Museum. Leader, Mr. Robt. Hall. Much 
valuable information was given by the leader on general matters. 
Camp-out. 
A noteworthy part of the Club’s work during the past year was 
the Easter Camp-out. No less than 85 persons (including 25 ladies) 
were present at this camp, which was held on Freycinet Peninsula 
and was a complete success, but as a separate illustrated report has been 
issued on this camp no further mention need be made here. We, how¬ 
ever, wish to record our appreciation of the treatment given us by Messrs. 
Holy man & Sons, from whom the steamer ‘ Koonookarra ’ was chartered 
for the trip.
