Sir, 

     This Society, which was formed amongst other things for collecting all that is obtainable concerning the Aboriginees, solicits your assistance in making a collection of the Native Names of places with their meanings or the reason why the blacks gave such names to the several localities (see example).* No doubt some of the old residents in your district will be able to assist you. 

Yours faithfully, 

W. Wentworth-Bucknell. 

Hon. General Secretary.
