Botany, geology, and ornithology have 
been the branches of study followed up 
at the excursions held under leaders, 
besides which several general excursions 
have been held. I)r. Xoetling, Messrs. 
L. Rodway, A. K. Brent, A. M. Lea. and 
■ I. Wardman have been the chief leaders. 
An excellent publication has been is¬ 
sued on the trees and shrubs of our 
forests belonging to the order Myrtaceac. 
It is by L. Rodwav. Government Botanist, 
has 22 full page illustrations, and will 
he of great value. A copy is given free 
to each momoer. 
Our most important step lias been the 
cringing out of a journal entitled the 
’•Tasmanian Xatnralist,” vol. 1, Xo. 1 of 
which appeared in April; the second is 
published with this report, and Xo. 3 
will be printed at cue end of the year. 
After then, we hope it will be issued at 
regular intervals of not more than three 
months, 'l lie publication of a journal 
nas brought our club into proper recog¬ 
nition as a scientific body. Oil the main¬ 
land. the Victorian, Geelong, and Xew 
South Wales Naturalists’ Clubs issue 
journals, which arc received in exchange. 
We tender our full appreciation of the 
generous help given by the Press—the 
"Mercury” for publishing reports of 
meetings and excursions.and the "Weekly 
Courier " for assistance with me journal. 
The balance-sheet shows that we have 
passed the third session satisfac¬ 
torily. The item “printing” does not 
cover the cost of the book on “Myrta- 
ceue." and omy the first number of the- 
journal, and though this item will be so 
largely increased during the approaching 
session, your committee feels assured 
mat generous response will be made in 
order to further the progress of the club.
