Western Australian Natural History Society (II) (1904 - 1909)

From
1904
Perth, Western Australia, Australia
To
1909

Summary

The second iteration of the Western Australian Natural History Society lasted for five years from 1904. It was an expansion of the Mueller Botanic Society to include a wider range of natural history subjects with a consequent name change. This revamped Society continued the publication of the Journal started by its predecessor. Often meetings lacked a quorum: a proposal on 1909 led it its revival as the Natural History and Science Society of Western Australia.
