EDITORIAL. 
We have reason to be proud of the Report presented for the 
year 1891-2. Continued interest has attended the work done, 
shewing that the members of the Association are maintaining the 
name of field naturalists. The papers read during the year 
evidence the sincere work and careful study undertaken by some 
of the members. Natural History, as might be expected, has 
received the most attention, while Geology and Botany have had 
their devotees. A noticeable feature of the year has been the 
the number of lectures and lecturettes. These while hardly 
coming under the head of original work have done much in the 
way of spreading a knowledge of general science. Many 
members are enthusiastic collectors, but even when the speci- 
mens have been obtained and named, they are very hazy in 
their knowledge of the true position of the several specimens in 
the great scale of organic or inorganic nature. As a splendid 
introduction to the science of Botany, Mr. Remfrey’s lecture on 
the *Leaf" is an example, while an attempt was made to 
classify all invertebrate animals in the “Outlines of Compara- 
tive Anatomy.” By the re-organisation of the “Magazine 
Night” it is hoped that a large amount of latent talent might 
be awakened, especially in our younger members, who will thus 
have an opportunity of giving a few “notes” without the for- 
midable preparation of a * paper." We hope that the members 
will still keep up their enthusiasm during the coming year, and 
endeavour if possible to exceed the work of the year just ended. 
VICTORIAN GLACIAL DEPOSITS. 
By W. A. HangaREAVES, M.A. 
At the meeting of the Association on Tuesday evening, May 
17th, Mr. Hargreaves, at short notice, consented to take Mr. 
Goodlett’s place, as the latter gentleman, through illness, was 
unable to give his paper on “The Tree.” ‘The following is a 
brief outline of Mr. Hargreaves’ lecture :— 
Towards the end of 1891, having a week's holiday, I made up 
my mind to see some of the reported Glacial Deposits situated 
near Heathcote. Writing to a former pupil, who is now an 
assistant geologist in the Mines Department, I arranged to
