Abstract

Proceedings of the Monthly Meeting of the Royal Society of Tasmania held on the 11th November, 1854, the Kev. John Lillie, D.D., a Vice-
President, in the chair.
Amongst the Fellows present were Drs. Agnew, Hall, and Lee ; Capt. Stoney
and Major Berthon ; Messrs. Champ, Hone, Kilburn, Perkins, Barnard, Moss,
Propsting.
After a ballot, J. E. Calder and Thomas Hewitt of Hobart Town, Esquires, were
declared to be duly elected Fellows of the Society.
Mr. Gr. A. Makeig submitted for examination a sample of arenaceous clay from
his farm near the " Flower Pot," D'Entrecasteaux's Channel, coloured with the
minute green fungus which has so often led to a supposition of the existence of
copper in our clay formations.
