Excerpt from The Victorian Naturalist, Vol. 26: The Journal and Magazine of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria; May, 1909, to April, 1910 A report of the excursion to Beveridge on Saturday, [3111 March, was given by the leader, Mr. F. G. A. Barnard, who reported a good attendance of members. The extinct crater known as Mt. Bland and Mt Fraser had been visited, and the members had been greatly interested in the volcanic features it disclosed, while a number of interesting specimens of volcanic action had been collected. A report of the excursion to Lilydale on Saturday, 27th March, was submitted by the leader, Mr. F. Chapman, who stated that there had been a large attendance of members and friends. Some time had been spent at the Cave Hill limestone quarry, where the general features of the geology had been studied and a number of fossils collected. Afterwards a visit had been paid to a much worn down crater near the Melbourne road, where there is a splendid exposure of volcanic tuffs. A report of the junior excursion to the Clifton Hill quarry on Saturday, 3rd April, was given by the leader, Mr. R. W. Armitage, who took the place of Dr. Hall, who was unable to be present. He reported a good attendance of juniors, who evinced considerable interest in the geology of the quarry. Fine specimens of arragonite and ferro-calcite were secured, but zeolites were very scarce. A glance was afterwards given at the general physiography of the district. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
