Notes on the fauna of Tasmania

Abstract

Gerard Krefft, F.L.S., C.M.Z.S. - Curator and Secretary of the Australian Museum. The " Notes on the Tasmanian Fauna" have been printed for private circulation only, and principally with a few to draw the attention of our fellow colonists to the productions of their island which are not so well known as might have been expected from the length of its colonization. It is to be hoped that any omissions on my part will be speedily corrected by resident naturalists ; the fishes inhabiting the fresh water streams deserve particular attention, as only four species have been described, though probably many more exist.
