A STUDY OF WATTLE TREES (ACACIA) AND A LIST 
OF INSECTS OF WATTLE TREKS. 
(By W. B. Gurney, FH.S.). 
Ir occurred to me the work of members of the Club would 
prove more interesting and the results would be more valu- 
able iff some specific line of study was undertaken in addi- 
tion to the general collecting and observations already en- 
gaging members. For these reasons I suggested at the gen- 
eral meeting held in October last that investigation by all 
members, junior and adult, might be commenced upon some 
such subject as ‘“The Foods and Habits of Australian Ants,”’ 
or ‘‘The Insects of Wattle Trees,’? and much extremely in- 
teresting information could be accumulated. The matter was 
discussed by the meeting and finally on the suggestion of Mr. 
G. A. Waterhouse it was decided to adopt ‘““The Study of 
Wattle Trees,’ to include the botany of Acacia trees, the 
insects, mites and fungi which frequent these trees and the 
geological distribution of wattle trees of Australia. This more 
embracive subject title brings the members interested in dif- 
ferent branches of natural history into the work and will 
appeal to most in these several directions. Moreover, the 
Wattles (Acacia) are national and widespread plants found 
throughout all the States and the genus comprises over 400
