Abstract
AT a meeting of the Linnean Society held on December 8, the objects of national parks were discussed. The immediate cause of the discussion was a letter from Prof. J. B. Cleland, chairman of the Commissioners of the National Park at Belair, South Australia, who asked for “an authoritative definition of a National Park” and an expression of opinion as to how far facilities for sport and recreation should be allowed to replace the original flora and fauna, especially when the Park is near a large city.
