    138 THE HISTORY OF SURGERY IN QUEENSLAND [By C. A. C. LEGGETT, M.B.E., M.B., M.S., F.R.A.C.S., F.A.C.S.] (Read before a Meeting of the Society and members of the medical profession at A.M.A. House, Brisbane, on 29 August 1974.) It is my intention in this paper to deal with some aspects of surgical practice in Queensland from the time of separa­ tion from New South Wales in 1859 until the present time. I will talk of some of the surgeons who practised in Queens­ land during this century of time and will discuss in a critical fashion some of the factors which influenced the standards of surgical practice. The memory of the tragic death of Ballow at Dunwich from typhus fever in 1850 was stUl fresh in memory when the story begins. When the story ends complex operations are common place and open heart sur- l-irM Brisbane Hospital. Built as convict hospital (1827-1839). Used until 1879 when Supreme Court was built on site. From the Oxley Memorial Library collection. Dr. Leggett is a senior Brisbane surgeon who has made extensive research into local medical history. 139 gery is being carried out in Brisbane with results comparable to any obtained anywhere in Australia. I will talk of Barton and Bell, Cannan and O'Doherty in the earlier years. I wUl observe that Joseph Bancroft, scientist and naturalist, practised early neurosurgery! Special emphasis will be placed on the life and work of Sandford Jackson. This man came to Brisbane when the first glim­ merings of light were beginning to appear after the long night of surgical darkness.

Join us for registration on campus followed by a welcome reception in historic downtown Fullerton on the evening of Thursday, June 25th, followed by a stimulating schedule of symposia, contributed talks, and a poster session from Friday, June 26th to Saturday, June 27th. We are delighted that many of you will join us for a field trip to Catalina Island on Sunday, June 28th. The Western Society of Malacologists (WSM) was born in 1948 as the Pacific Division of the American Malacological Union (AMU), now the American Malacological Society (AMS). The Pacific Division of the AMU held separate meetings on the west coast in years when the AMU met on the east coast. The WSM was established in 1968 as an independent society to improve our understanding of molluscs, and members include professional researchers, students, collectors, and other mollusk enthusiasts. A primary goal of the WSM is to encourage students to enter into the field of malacology and to support their research via grants.

Stronga, , Nathan V. Whelanb,c a Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, 10th and Constitution Ave NW, Washington DC 20560, USA b United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Southeast Conservation Genetics Lab, Warm Springs Fish Technology Center, Auburn, AL 36849, USA c School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA ABSTRACT Juga is a genus of freshwater gastropods distributed in Pacific and Interior drainages of the Pacific Northwest from central California to northern Washington. The current classification has relied heavily on features of the shell, which vary within and across drainages, and often intergrade without sharp distinctions between species. The only previous molecular analysis included limited population sampling, which did not allow robust assessment of intra- versus interspecific levels of genetic diversity, and concluded almost every sampled population to be a distinct OTU. We assembled a multilocus mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear gene (ITS1) dataset for ∼100 populations collected across the range of the genus. We generated primary species hypotheses using ABGD with best-fit model-corrected distances and further explored our data, both individual gene partitions and concatenated datasets, using a diversity of phylogenetic and species delimitation methods (Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood estimation, StarBEAST2, bGMYC, bPTP, BP&P). Our secondary species delimitation hypotheses, based primarily on the criterion of reciprocal monophyly, and informed by a combination of geography and morphology, support the interpretation that Juga comprises a mixture of geographically widespread species and narrow range endemics.

Please see a Guide if you would like a copy. ©Saint Andrew’s Uniting Church Corner Ann and Creek Streets Brisbane QLD 4000 2017 2 Gunner Percival Lodge Cameron Percival Lodge Cameron – known as Percy – was a 35 years old station manager, and married with one child, when he and his wife drove over 1,200kms from the Muttaburra district down to Brisbane for Percy to enlist in March 1917. He served in France and Belgium as a gunner in the 7th Battery, 3rd Field Artillery Brigade (FAB), was gassed and later wounded during 1918, and returned to Australia in 1919. Percy then bought a property Glen Nevis at Dalveen, north of Stanthorpe and was ‘a keen judge of sheep and wool’, an enthusiastic local cricketer, and a devotee of Scottish literature (particularly Bobbie Burns). Family background Percy was born at Muttaburra (in central west Queensland) on 1 November 1882, the third and youngest son of John and Sarah Annie (nee Lodge) Cameron. Sarah was from Moruya, NSW and had married John in 1877 in Mudgee, NSW. John Cameron - Percy’s father. 1912 3 John Cameron (1847-1914) held Kensington Downs station near Muttaburra for an extended period. He was very active in business and pastoral organisations, holding various executive positions, and was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly 1893-96 and 1901-08. He was also an Elder 1903-11 at Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on the corner of Ann and Creek Streets in Brisbane.
