PERSONAL. 
Mr. A. Montgomery, Chief Mining Engineer of Western Australia, 
and a member of the Advisory Council of Science and Industry, 
recently paid a visit to the head office of the Institute in Melbourne. 
Mr. F. H. Taylor, entomologist, has severed his connexion with the 
Queensland Blowfly Committee of the Institute. 
Mr. H. W. Gepp, of the Executive Committee, is making a brief 
visit to the United States. He is the third member of the Executive 
who has gone to America recently. 
Mr. Lane Poole, after all, is not forsaking the West for Victoria. 
He writes :—“ No, I am sticking to the West, which, with the exception 
of Tasmania, is the State most urgently in need of a forest policy.” 
To the natural philosopher, there is no natural 
object unimportant or trifling. From the least of 
Nature’s works he may learn the greatest lessons. 
—SIR JOHN HERSCHEL.
