The President, in moving the adoption of the Honorary Editor's report, stated that the Society was indebted to Dr. Marwick for the way in which he was carrying out his duties as Hon. Editor, and that Dr. Hutton and Dr. Finlay, who had ably helped him should also be thanked for their work. He considered that the annual meeting should recognise their services. On the motion of Professor Segar, seconded by Dr. Focken, it was resolved that Dr. C. O. Hutton be appointed Associate Editor, and Dr. H. J. Finlay Assistant Hon. Editor. Attention was drawn to the fact that as the Proceedings are not printed until the fourth Part, the Minutes of the Annual Meeting are very ofen not available until just before the next meeting. On the motion of Dr. Focken, seconded by Dr. Hilgendorf, it was resolved that in future the Proceedings be printed in the first Part of each volume. Hon. Librarian's Report. Professor Evans, The President of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Wellington. Dear Sir, I have been allowed to see the report of the Standing Committee, and find that it contains almost all that I could say about the Library. I have been able to do practically nothing, and the work that has been reported on is that of Miss Wood. The plan for the establishment of a National Library seems to be in abeyance, and I find that there is no immediate prospect of its being otherwise. The Society will be informed when further steps are possible. Faithfully yours, H. B. Kirk Honorary Librarian. On the motion of the President, the Hon. Librarian's report was adopted. He stated that the Society would have to face the expense of shifting to the new room provided in the new Biology Department at Victoria University College, and the space available would be much less than originally planned. Reports of Research Grantees. Mr. B. C. Aston states that there is nothing further to report in connection with the research on Puketea. Dr. G. B. Cunningham, who in 1929 was granted £25 for a mycological survey of the Tongariro National Park, reported on the 28th April that during Christmas and New Year ten days were spent at the Park in a camp on the slopes of Tongariro. Fairly extensive collections were made in the forest on the northern slopes of Tongariro and tussock grassland near the Ketetahi springs. Unfortunately, most were lost subsequently, as during his absence from the camp specimens and drying papers were removed by a gale. The surviving collections contained no hitherto unrecorded species. No expenses were incurred during the year.
