Mr, Fred Tamer, F.L.S., the author of several descriptive works on "Australian Grasses,' and other economic subjects, has recently been offered and has accepted the position of consulting botanist to the West Australian Government in succession to the late Baron F. Von Mueller, Mr. Turner's work will principally consist) in naming and describing the economic plants of the western colony. In the first instance, he will name and describe all the forage plants and grasses, so that the pastoraiists and farmers who are settled there may know oi what their pastures are composed, supposed poisonous plants, noxious weeds, etc This work will be done in a similar way to that done by Mr. Turner for the pastoral iata and farmers of Queensland under instructions from the New South Wales Government. The work in connection with the West Australian flora will not necessitate Mr. Turner's leaving Sydney, so that pastoralists, farmers, nurserymen, and others who have been accustomed to send him botanical specimens to be identified and described can forward them as usual.
