Journal of the Natural History Society of Western Australia Vols III (issues 1-5)

In 1907, several meetings of the West Australian Natural History Society lapsed for lack of a quorum and it was suggested that 'monthly' meetings only be held when there was a paper to be presented. At the Council meeting of November 1907, a subcommittee was appointed to investigate the possibility of forming a Royal Society, or affiliating with the Royal Society of South Australia, or other means. No action was taken, but in 1909 Mr A Gibb Maitland proposed that the Society be renamed the West Australian Science and Natural History Society, and at the next General Meeting the title was formerly changed to The Natural History and Science Society of Western Australia.

The publications of the previous societies were continued as the Journal of the Natural History and Science Society of Western Australia. This series commenced with Volume III No. 1 in 1910, then No. 2 in 1911, Volume "The Fourth" in 1912 and ending with Volume "The Fifth" in 1914.
