Abstract

The last two years have been
spent in East Australia, and my short residence in Tasmania
has pointed out curious relations between the natural history
of that part of the Continent and this Island. There can be
no doubt that Tasmania unites features in her natural history
which is characteristic of distinct provinces in Australia. If
we take the eastern half of the Continent, we may divide it
into three portions, viz. :The coast region, characterized by a genial
humid climate, with a vegetation in the temperate
regions which is almost tropical in luxuriance, and generally
Asiatic in facies, which is more decided as we proceed northward.
