Excerpt from The Victorian Naturalist, Vol. 27: The Journal and Magazine of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria; May, 1910, to April, 1911 The hon. Secretary read a letter which had been received by the committee from Mr. R. T. Baker, curator of the Technological Museum, Sydney, in which he offered to give a lecture before the Club on some botanical subject in July next, and said that the committee had accepted the offer, and that details of the arrangements would be announced later. A letter was read from the Conservator of Forests, in reply to a communication from the committee with reference to the preservation of the vegetation along certain portions of Monbulk Creek, in which he stated that instructions had been issued that the area in question should be left untouched and, further, that he would be pleased, at any time when brought specially under his notice, to have suitable forest areas set aside as sanctuaries for animals and birds.
