Abstract

A meeting of the Royal Society was
held in the Art Gallery at the Museum
on Monday, October 18, 1898. Mr. R.

moderate attendance. Messrs, R. J. Rogers

of the Society.
A report was presented by a sub-committee
that had been appointed to consider
the question of establishing a geographical

the Society. A number of rules had been
agreed upon, which would be presented at
a future meeting.
Mr. L. Rodway read a paper relating to
botany.
The Bishop of Tasmania, the Right Rev.
