206 THE AUSTRALIAN NATURALIB8T. 
February is the month to see the plants in best con- 
dition. The gully is very deep, and a very ingenious 
wire ropeway has been constructed, by means of which a 
horse windlass draws the fruit up to a landing stage. The 
plantation can be approached by a 25 minutes’ walk from 
the Glebe tram terminus. 
NOTICE TO MEMBERS. 
It is proposed to hold a ‘‘Fair’’ early in September 
in aid of the War Funds of the Y.M.C.A. 
To those members who have not yet been advised of 
this, | would state that the Fair will take the form of 
an Exhibition of Natural History Subjects, a Wild Flower 
Show, and through the kindness of some of our lady

of the exhibits, sweets, cakes, ete., also a refreshment stall.
