The monthly meeting of the Eoyal Society of Tasmania was held in the Art Gallery at the Museum on Monday evening, May 27th. His Excellency the Administrator, who was to have presided, was prevented from attending by slight indisposition, and the Bishop of Tasmania occupied the chair. Congratulatory reference was made to the honour recently conferred upon His Excellency the Administrator. A discussion took place on a paper written by Mr. W. Heyn, of the Timber Department, Admiralty Harbour Works, Dover, on "The present and future prospects of timber in Tasmania."
