1 Nov., 1898.] QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. I. 
Public Announcements, 
Tue Editor will be glad to receive any papers of special merit which may 
be read at meetings of Agricultural and Pastoral Associations in Queensland, 
reserving, however, the right to decide whether their value and importance 
will justify their publication. 
THs Queensland Agricultural Journal will be supplied to all members of Agri- 
cultural and Horticultural Societies who do not derive their livelihood solely 
from the land, on payment, in advance, of an annual subscription of 5s. 
THE LABORATORY AT THE QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL 
COLLEGE. 
Tre accompanying plates, which were unfortunately not ready for the last 
number of the Journal, in which Mr. Briinnich’s article appeared, will give a 
very clear notion of the interior arrangement of the students’ laboratory. The 
photographs were taken by Mr. Briinnich himself, notwithstanding the fact 
that in one of the illustrations he appears seated at the lecturer’s platform. 
We would suggest to recipients of the Journal who get their numbers bound, 
that these illustrations be then placed in their proper position with the accom- 
panying article.
