Steps should be taken to protect the banks from further injury by the cultivation of the willow or by any other means deemed advisable, as any other erosion might result in the destruction of considerable areas of alluvial land.—The secretary to write to Baron Von Mueller asking the best kinds of willow for protecting river banks.]1
