board before dark, and the journey to 
Hobart commenced. Apart from a slight 
roll when crossing Adventure Bay the 
return trip was a calm, one, and the 
camp songs were once more sung to 
while away the time until the city was 
reached shortly after nine. 
hast year, when concluding the camp 
report, 1 expressed the hope that a year 
hence many familiar faces would be 
grouped around the campfire at some 
chosen spot on our Tasmanian coast. 
That hope has been fultlled, and I de¬ 
sire to express it again with regard to 
next year. For Id years past the Tas¬ 
manian Field Naturalists’ Club has or¬ 
ganised an Easter camp. These out¬ 
ings afford members a chance of pur¬ 
suing their collecting work, and the 
social side of the outings form an agree¬ 
able holiday. To carry out such camps 
many things are necessary. Apart from 
the organisation work there are numer¬ 
ous duties entailed by camp life together 
with the work of constructing and after¬ 
wards. of breaking up, camp. This 
work is almost invariably entered into 
in the true camping spirit by all the 
members, which fact tends greatly to 
the success of the outings, and gives 
promise that the camps of the future 
may be as enjoyable as those of the 
past.
