NOTES. 
The det of Mr. Perrin, the Conservator of Kore against - 
certain sections of the Cape Otway forests being thrown open 
for selection will doubtless be received with approbation by all 
lovers of natural history. Apart from the reckless waste of . 
valuable timber, there is the question of the preservation of the | 
native fauna aa flora, which is ever an important one: with 
naturalists. May the members of this Association do all they - 
can to support Mr. Perrin in this respect; there will still be 
plenty of available land for reproductive purposes, without 
parting with valuable Hadige reserves which take a century yp x 
The account n the S s Inlet camp given xecsnily. ifo Mr. : 
J. Hammerton and party, attracted a large number of members 
and their friends. The excellent lautern views considerably | 
helped in illustrating to the audience the chief points of interest 
Sugggestions should be sent in early as to the most suitable —- 
place for our next Annual Excursion, 24th May. Judgingfrom  . - 
meric ones we cannot but expect to meet with our usual qué 
enjoyment and success. 
=- We have much reason to thank our Aiden taal Lee for ‘ 
"E the work done lately, but there is still room for more enthusiasm D 
in this department. Now that Mr. Freeman has, to our deep — 
regret, left Geelong, someone is wanted to come forward and ` 
keep the Association posted up in matters botanical. ey 
Much more interest would be taken i in our meetings if mem- 
bers would bring up new specimens, either to obtain or give - 
information concerning them.  Half-an-hour could be profitably 
spent in this way at each meeting. Let us hope that this will 
form an item on the business paper for each evening in future.
