ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

A numerously attended meeting of this society
was held on Monday evening at Burlington-house,
Sir It. Murchison, president in the chair. Among
those present were—his Excellency Count Platen,
Viscount Strangford, Generals d'Oxholm, Pollock,
and Portlock ; Professor Owen, the Bishop of Perth,
AdMiral Sir G. Back, Sir T. Fremantle, Sir J. Kay
Shuttleworth, Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Sir T. Phillips,
Col. Sotheby, Copts. Sturt and Clark, R.E., the
Master of Clare College, Archdeacon Raymond, Drs.
Booth, Bernays, Fisher, Fitton, Kinkel, Ogle, and
Purcell; Messrs. Babbage, Staveley, Crawfurd,
Tennant, Osborne Smith, Brooking, Arrowsmith,
Findlay, &c. ; Capt. IL Harris, R. Baikie,
H. D. Jencken, H. Loch, and A. B. Warre, were
elected fellows. The paper read was, " Explorations
in South Australia," by Messrs. Babbage, Warbur-
ton, Stuart, and others, communicated by the Right
Hon. Sir E. B. Lytton, Secretary for the Colonies.
The accounts of the above-mentioned explorations
were embodied in several voluminous documents, ex-
tracts from which were read. The discoveries of Mr.
Babbage were confined to the tract between Lakes
Gairdner and Torrens ; he, however, followed to the
western shore of the latter lake to about lat. 30 deg.
S., where it terminates, and proceeded northward,
meeting with a lake which he named Gregory.
Major Warburton examined the south-west shores
of Lake Gairdner, returned by Coeyana (near
Sbleaky Bay) on the 'west, and then pursued an
easterly direction to Port Augusta ; starting from
that place nothwards in search of Babbage he fol-
lowed his track to Lake Gregory, where they met.
Mr. Stuart, the companion of Captain Sturt, in his
memorable expedition to the Central Desert in 1845,
started with only one white and a black man, five
horses, and a scanty supply of provisions, from
Elizabeth Camp (31 10. deg. S.), proceeded northerly
to lat. 29 20 deg., where be crossed a large gum
creek in which fish were seen, and continued in a
north-west direction, passing several other gum
creeks, taking their rise in the long range named,
by Governor Sir R. M'Donnell, Stuart Range;
their range extends in a south-west direction,
broken more or less here and there, but still form-
ing a continuous water-parting from along the west
shore of Lake Torrens to lat. 28 deg. S, and long.
133 deg. E. He then struck a westerly course for
40 miles over a good country with plenty of grass,
turning then south-westerly, afterwards southerly,
to Denial bay on the coast, and thence to Port
Augusta, pursuing throughout a zigzag course. Mr.
Stuart penetrated in a straight line 240 miles to the
west of Mr. Babbage's camp at the Elizabeth, hav-
ing traversed by various routes nearly four degrees
of longitude and three of latitude north of that posi-
