Notes. 
ABOUT MEMBERS. 
Members will learn with regret that an esteemed ex-president, 
Mr. A. F. Basset-Hull, C.F.A.O.U., has been compelled by pres¬ 
sure of many interests and new duties to resign as a member of 
the R.A.O.U., and also as an ex-officio member of the Council. 
Members wish Mr. Hull much success and enjoyment in his 
new labours in connection with the Great Barrier Reef. Like 
much other matter, this note was crowded out of our last issue. 
With regret members have received the announcement that 
Dr. J. A. Leach is not available for nomination as Hon. Editor 
of The Emu. The recent promotion of Dr. Leach to an important 
administrative position at headquarters in the Education Depart¬ 
ment of Victoria renders it impossible for him to find time to 
continue to fill the important and arduous position of Editor, an 
office held by Dr. Leach for over 10 years. 
Pressure of official duties has also caused the resignation of 
Mr. R. T. Littlejohns as Assistant Editor. Mr. Littlejohns did 
very good work during his term of office, and was requested by 
the Council to “carry on" until the appointment of his successor. 
The date of publication was October 1st, 1924.
