~Military Aviation.~ In January, 1913, the Australian Flying Corps was instituted, as a part of the citizen forces. During 1913, about L5,600 is to be spent. The force is to consist ultimately of 4 officers, 7 warrant officers and sergeants, 32 mechanics. The school is at Duntroon. Course includes--mechanics of the aeroplane, aerial motors, meteorology, aerial navigation by compass, aerial photography, signalling, etc. Mr. Harrison is in command with Lieut. H. Petre as assistant. ~Australian Aviators.~ Banks, R. C. Busteed, H. Duigan, J. R. Hammond, J. J. Harrison +Hart +Lindsay, C. Petre, H. Pickles Watts +=killed. ~Private Aeroplanes.~ J. R. Duigan has built an aeroplane of his own design. ~NEW ZEALAND.~ Nothing doing worth mention.

Logan, 99 Gloucester Street, Toronto McGill Aviation Club, McGill University, Montreal Oshawa, Ontario Ae. C. Note.--Owing to the fact that the late Aerial Experiment Association was half Canadian and half U.S.A., it is difficult to draw a very clear dividing line between Canadian and U.S. aviators or machines. Thus, one given here is partly U.S.A., while at least one U.S. machine may be claimed as "partially Canadian." ~AVIATORS.--Private.~ Bell, Dr. Graham McCurdy, J. A. D. (U.S.A. Ae.
