THE AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST. 211 
Dr, 8. J. Johnson; ‘Snakes and Lizards.’ 
Mr. E. Cheel: ‘‘Myxies’’ (Myomycetes). 
Mr. W. W. Froggatt, F.L.S.: ‘‘ Birds of Riverina.”’ 
Mr. W. H. Dudley Le Souef, C.M.Z.S.: ‘‘The Nidifi- 
cation of Australian Birds.’’ 
Mi. Walter F. Gale: ‘‘The Sun and Some of its 
Phenonema.’’ 
Mr. R. J. Tillyard, F.L.S.: ‘‘Natural History of 
Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.’’ 
Mr. G. A. Waterhouse. F..S.: ‘‘Distribution of Aus- 
tralasian Butterflies.’’ 
Three members’ nights were held, and _ excellent 
papers read by Miss Froggatt, Miss A. Brewster, Mr. T. 
McCarthy, and Mr. H. Zeck. 
We regret to state that owing to the scarcity of paper, 
and the consequent high price of same, it has not been 
possible to publish the promised catalogue of Plants of 
the County of Cumberland. We hope to have this much- 
needed publication out as soon as possible. 
We have to thank those of our members who have 
so kindly undertaken the task of leaders of our excur- 
sions, and to the members who have contributed articles 
to the Australian Naturalist. The pages of the paper are 
open to all members, and we would again urge the leaders 
of excursions to send in reports of the outings. The paper 
has a wide circulation, and it is our duty to furnish Field 
Notes and observations for the benefit of the outside world. 
Your Council would also urge upon members the 
necessity for taking an active interest in the Society, and 
would like to see an annual selection of Councillors. 
Whilst not deprecating their own efforts, it is felt that an 
infusion of new blood would help to maintain an interest 
which the Council feels is lacking. 
The thanks of the Society are also due to our Hon. 
Kditor, Mr. Thos. Steel, F.L.S., and our Hon. Lanternist, 
Max. C. J. White, for their kind exertions, and Mr. G. A. 
Waterhouse for the use of his rooms for the Counzil 
Meetings. 
D. W. C. Surress, 
Hon. Secretary.
