of local application. Even at home a man in Yorkshire would not know a plant by the com mon name the same plant had in Sussex. In New Zealand many of the plants had no com mon names, not eren Maori names.—Mr. Mitford said the young Maori men were less observant than tho old ones. When a young Maori was asked the name of any strange plant, he replied he did not know, hut referred tho quoßtionei1 to his father, or some old Maori. — Archdeacon Wil-, liams also confirmed the observation that the beech treo was fast disappearing from some cause or other. — The next paper was read by the Chairman, and was by Captain F. W. Hutton, F.G.S., on The Malan (Megapodius Pritehardi—Gray)- It was described to be a native of Ninfo Island, one of the South Sea Islands, and had been presented by Captain Bough. It was one of the non-incubating birds, and it usually laid from four to cix eggs, then covered them up and left them to the heat produced by the decomposition of the heap for the hatching process. The natives said tho birds were hatched fully fledged, and, as soon as they camo out of the shell, were ready to fly amay. A specimen of the bird, with its egg, was on the table.—The last paper was read by Mr. T. Kirk, P.L.S., on the New Zealand Astelias. The few notes he had upon these plants he had for some time deferred making known, in the hope that he would amplify them. He had not found an opportunity to do so, and had resolved to place them on record to induce others to enter on the same field of research. He said of this genus of plants there were yet only eight species known : —The Astelia Cunning hamii, N.B. 5 tflß Kowharawhare of the Maoris j tho A. Hookeriana, N.S., Maori name, Kowharawhare 5 A. Linearis, A. Neriosa, A. Grandis, N.S., Kakaha, A. Solandri, Maori name Kahakaha ; A. Triueria, N.S., and the A. Banksii, also called by the Maoris Kowharawhare. He minutely described each species and its habi tat, in an interesting manner, and pointed out a strange blunder which Mr. Chapman hud fallen into in his edition of Cook's Voyages, when describing the lust mentioned of these species. The members of this genus hud never been applied to economical pur poses, but owing to the quantity of their leaves and the strength of fibre, he thought they would be better adapted for paper making than phormium tenax. There was a gum which was exuded, that he thought might be utilised, and if a use weie found it could be had in almost any quantity. Some years ago a quantity of the fibre was sent from the Kaipara district to Sydney, but he had never learned for what purpose it had been iised. —The Chairman, in the discussion which followed, remarked that mauy yeara ago he had tried the gum referred to, and found that it contained about 99 per cent, of water. He did not think it was of much value.

MRS. HAMLET'S SOLILOQUY.

A lady of Richmond, Va., thus discusses' a la Hamlet, the question of female suf frage : —

To vote, or not to vote, that is the question '. t Whether 'tis nobler to forego the suffrage And bear the arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take np arms against our sex's troubles, And, by opposing, end them ? To live—to wed- No more ; and by a marriage say we end The heartaches, only to nurse the little ills Women are heir to^ —'tis a consummation Not for Joseph, if the Court herself doth know ; And that she doth is most indubitable. Xs vote to act—to act, perchance, a farce ; ay, There's the rub; for by this act what lights may come, When we have shuffled off our crinoline ? This makes us pause ; this, too, is the respect That makes calamity of woman's suffrage: For who would bear the kicks and cuffs of men, all°s?Tl°™is, and th"e'uw?s"deiay f The insolence of bummers, and the spurn 3 That patient women from rough loafers take, When to avoid it, she could stay at home And use her bodkin! Who would muskets b<Sar, Or groan or swear under a mechanic s life, But for the pleasures of Emancipation— The rich Golconda, from whose gaping jaws The flesh pots yawn in tantalising plenty ? But there's the afterclaps ! This puzzles the will. And makes us rather bear the ills we have, Than fly to the horrid inexpressibles. Thus cowardice makes babies of us all, And thus our petted suffrage resolutions Are sicklied over with the pale cast of fear ; And enterprise of glorious ballot stufling Must fade, alas ! because our suffering sex Dare not imbibe the soul-inspiring rye To give us aim and action.
