Seventh Meeting: 13th November, 1894. Mr. Edward Melland, President, in the chair. Professor Parker exhibited and made remarks upon a collection of New Zealand fishes, mounted in alcohol in such a way as to display their form to great advantage. The majority of the specimens were collected by Mr. F. Sandager at Mokohinou, in 1889, and were by him presented to the Museum. Mr. A. Hamilton read a paper on his recent visit to Macquarie Island on behalf of the Museum, giving an account of his observations on the topography, zoology, and botany of
the island, and of the collections made by Mr. E. Jennings, taxidermist to the Museum, and himself. (Transactions, p. 559.) The paper was illustrated by numerous photographs taken by the author, a painting of a king-penguin rookery by Miss Hamilton, and several specimens. Mr. G. M. Thomson read a paper “On some Crustacea from Macquarie Island.” (Transactions, p. 210.) Annual Meeting: 13th November, 1894. Mr. Edward Melland, President, in the chair.
