Abstract

The monthly evening meeting of the Society, was held on Tuesday, the 12th instant, A. Kennerley, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Wintle read some remarks on the "Evidences of the Shell Deposits seen around Hobart Town, not being produced by the Aborigines, and the period of their origin being Post Tertiary." Professor Neumayer from Melbourne, addressed the meeting in regards to the modern instruments for the observations on Terrestrial Magnetism described to them, in order that they might be able to compare them with those formerly in use at the Magnetic Observatory, kept up for so many years in this locality.
