In following up Dr. Manning's paper in the July number of this journal with these fugitive notes of a series of very pleasant and instructive visits, I would premise that the changes of three years have taken place since it was my fortune to spend a season in Australia—that most hospitable of countries.

Administrative changes in the progressive spirit of the Australian commonwealth have swept away faulty arrangements, but the struggle for improvement remains in able hands and with stout hearts.
