Includes A.A.A.S. Journal - The Secretary (Mr. Alex. Morton) laid on the table Volume III. of the journal of the New Zealand meeting, which had just arrived. He also said the journal of the Hobart meeting was well in hand.
Notes on Natural Limits to Occupation on the Land (a Paper), Notes on Square-set System of Timbering in Mines, etc. (a Paper), As regarded Mr. Taylor's paper, he was sure they had all listened to it with great interest. The explanation he had given was very clear, and he had no doubt his object would be fulfilled if the general attention of the raining public was directed both to the advantages and drawbacks of this description of timbering.
July Meeting , - The usual monthly meeting of the Royal Society was held at the Museum on Tuesday evening, July 12. His Excellency the Governor Sir Roberto. C. Hamilton, K.C.B., LL.D,, presided, and there was a large attendance.
The Secretary stated he had received a telegram from Mr. Russell, the Government Astronomer of New South Wales, informing him that it would be impossible for his paper to arrive in Hobart by that night's train. The paper was one of very great importance, dealing as it did with the late Leake bequest in connection with astronomy. Under the circumstances he would ask for the paper to be postponed till next meeting.
