Abstract

The following pages have but slight claims on special
scientific consideration. They are merely the results of a
short excursion through Tasmania, at a time when the writer
sought invigoration from the bracing air and rural tranquillity
of the island, and preferred to spend the very few days allotted
to his stay rather in the undisturbed highland solitudes than
in the pleasures of sociality. He bent his way to the phytologically
unexplored ranges of Mount Field, to institute a
comparison of their vegetation with that of other alpine rises
of Tasmania.
