Royal Society Meeting Hears on Australian Reptiles and Snakes
The Royal Society held its edition in the Institute at half past seven with H B. Barily presiding. Candidates for ordinary fellows included Mogurs and Benevolent Asylum’s George Bell among others. A noted lecture by Professor M’Correat covered Australian reptiles, snakes and cobras. Specimens and colored drawings illustrated distinctions between snakes and lizards and the cobra’s venomous family. Members discussed collecting preserved specimens from Australian districts near Kilda Prahran and Sandridge to aid future study.

Agricultural Report Notes Quiet Flour Market
The agricultural page records a stagnant flour market with limited trades at prior rates in Holders. Imports to South Australia are modest, with little expectation of large California shipments. Tasmanian and Victorian quotes range from 6d to 9d per bushel, and oats show some movement as colonial stock sells at steady prices. A notable ploughing contest and vineyard press topics follow, along with discussions of land use and potential new commodities for the colony.

Mining intelligence reports improved gold yields across districts
Weekly mining accounts show a broader revival with 14 to 21 April yields up from the prior year. Reports describe new reefs at Axe Creek and Piccaniny Creek, abundant alluvial washings, and notable claims at Naverrs, White and Blun, and Bald Hill. Deep lead work near Amherst and Nuggetty Gully draws large numbers of miners, with several fortunes hinted from rich reefs and promising quarts. Water shortages limit some sites, but overall activity and output rise across districts, including Creswick, Ballarat, and Columbian Reef operations.
