[handwritten rather than print version of form] The Anthropological Society of Australasia
"Argreah," Ashfield, N.S.W.
This Society which was formed amongst other things for collecting
all that is obtainable concerning the Aborigines, 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 [remarks crossed out]). No doubt some of
the old residents in your district will be able to assist you.
Yours faithfully,
W. Wentworth Bucknell
Hon Genl Secty
