NOTES. 
Tur Hon. Librarian begs to acknowledge with many thanks the 
receipt of the following publications :— 
“Victorian Naturalist,’ Vol. XII, Nos. 9, 10 and 11. 
“ Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Australia." 
Supplement, Part I, “Cicindelide and Carabide” from the 
Linnean Society of New South Wales.

Wales, March, 1896.” 
. The Members are to be congratulated upon the unanimous 
election of Professor Ralph Tate, of Adelaide, as Patron of the Club 
in place of the late Mr J. B. Wilson. The Professor regards the 
position as a personal compliment. 
Those of our Members who are interested in Sea-weeds (and 
who is not?) will be glad to welcome the issue of “ An Introduction 
to the Study of Sea-weeds,” by Geo. Murray, F.R.S.E., F.L.S. keeper 
in the Botanical Department of the British Museum. No one is 
more qualified to undertake the task of presenting a concise manual 
on this subject than the author. The work is freely and carefully 
illustrated, and forms one of the admirable and well-known series 
of science text-books published by MacMillan and Co., whose name 
is a sufficient guarantee of accuracy and excellence. We advise all 
interested in Algology to procure a copy.
