Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Island-Continent: A Naturalist's Holiday in Australia Away through the picturesque, undulating county of Kent, through the cold, flat clay lands of the Weald of Kent, where the labourers were planting the hop-poles through the more broken and diversified parts, where the Wealden Sands and the Lower Cretaceous rocks appear, clad with spring woods, and to where the billowy chalk Downs roll seawards from Folkestone to Dover. The weather had suddenly changed before I arrived at the latter place. It had become wet and windy, and it soon changed to blustery. The worst old tub of the many bad ones which convey passengers across the Straits to Calais lay bumping and straining at its moorings by the pier, and we had to wait and take our chance of a run or a plunge down the gangway on to the deck, amid a struggle of porters laden with luggage. Beyond the pier the white horses were rearing and rolling, and one felt that the Channel passage would be a good introduction to the Big Ferry over to Australia.

Nuriootpa will possibly be the first place visited. At the last meeting of the Committee, requests were brought forward for assistance in forming a Field Naturalists' Club at Broken Hill.

Naturally, every assistance and encouragement is being given towards this object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Naturalist in Tasmania AT the extreme south of Australia and separated at a distance of about two hundred miles from the mainland by the gradually shelving channel of Bass's Straits, lies the little island of Tasmania, mountainous, forest - clad, and watered by innu merable rivers and highland lakes, and about intermediate in size between Wales and Ireland. Although it is structurally and historically a part of Australia, the scenery and climate are both quite distinctive, and if a somewhat sombre monotony, not without its special charm, is the keynote of Australia, Tasmania, small as it is, is a land of variety and bold transition, from flat Eucalyptus-covered tablelands to fantastically rugged mountain ranges, overgrown with virgin forests of southern Pine and evergreen 'beech; from the calm blue skies of a southern Italian summer to the fierce Antarctic blizzard.

Book Synopsis The Birds of Australia (Classic Reprint) by : A. H. S. Lucas
Download or read book The Birds of Australia (Classic Reprint) written by A. H. S. Lucas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Australia This book is the complementary volume to The Animals of Australia, Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibians, of the same authors and publishers. As it was impossible to give a reasonable account of all the Air - breathing Vertebrates of Australia in one volume, the account of the Birds was reserved for the present work. The object and plan of this, as of the former, book are to serve the needs of the naturalist and to provide matter of interest for the general reader, by giving accurate descriptions and illustrations, and adding as much popular information as is available concerning habits and habitats. In order to avoid rendering the volume too bulky and too heterogeneous in character, we have refrained from specula tions and general disquisitions. It seemed wiser to present the facts in an ordered manner, and to leave for other publications the more general features of our Avi-fauna, relationships, and origins. As in the case of The Animals, while advantage has been taken of personal knowledge, we have drawn largely on other publications on Australian Birds. The classification is that of. Dr. Bowdler Sharpe's Hand-list of Birds, made more readily available by the publication of Mr. Gregory M Mathew's Hand-list of Australian Birds, in The Emu, 1908. We gladly acknowledge our deep indebtedness to the various authors of the magnificent series of Descriptive Catalogues published by the authorities of the British Museum. We have included as nearly a complete account as possible of species described in Australia by Mr. A. J. North, of the Australian Museum, Sydney, and by Messrs. A. J. Campbell, Robert Hall, and others referred to in the text. We have drawn largely for accounts of habits on The Emu, and The Victorian Naturalist, and occasionally quote other periodical publications.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Mammals of Australia (Classic Reprint) by : Emeritus Professor John Gould, (So

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Mammals of Australia IN the foregoing Preface I have glanced at the principal groups of Mammals inhabiting the great country of Australia. It will now, however, be necessary to enter into greater detail respecting this division of its fauna; and I conceive that it will not be out of place if I commence with a retrospective view of the gradual discovery of countries and their zoological productions from the earliest historic times. Such a retrospect will not, I think, be deemed unnecessary, especially since my intention is to show to the general reader, rather than to the scientific naturalist, that each great division of the globe has its own peculiar forms of animal life, and that the fauna of Australia is widely different from that of every other part of the world. By a mere glance at the zoological features of the globe as at present existing, it will be perceived with what precision the animal life of each country has been adapted to its physical character; the absence of certain great families of birds and quadrupeds in some countries will also be apparent. To account for this on any scientific principle would be very difficult, when we cannot say why the Nightingale is not a summer visitant to Devonshire, or why the Grouse is not found south of Wales; why the aerial Swifts, Swallows, and Martins are numerous in Australia, and absent in New Zealand; or why Woodpeckers, which occur in nearly every other part of the globe, are not found in Australia, New Guinea, or any of the Polynesian Islands. The ancient Egyptians appear to have been little acquainted with the natural productions of any other country than their own, - at least, we have no evidence that they were for neither so conspicuous a bird as the Peacock, nor even the Common Fowl, are represented on their lasting monuments. Of the eastern countries Alexander's expedition doubtless greatly increased the knowledge of the Greeks, furnishing materials for the philo sophic mind of Aristotle, and certainly extending the knowledge of Pliny, as is evidenced by his Historia Naturalis, ' the only work which has come down to us of the latter great naturalist. Pliny, standing out as a bright star in zoological science at the period he lived, was doubtless tolerably acquainted with the natural productions of Eastern Europe, Arabia, North-eastern Africa, slightly with those of Persia, and still less so with those of India.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Naturalist in Cannibal Land New Guinea is evidently the remnant of a continent which has sunk beneath the sea for the greater part, only the higher elevations granting a refuge to the fauna and flora. When the land rose again to some extent, the newly-formed islands and the coast districts of the main island became populated by an invasion from the west, this new Malayan element in the fauna being, on New Guinea, most prominent in the lowlands and foothills, and extending far south in tropical Australia, whereas the original Papuan element is more evident at the higher altitudes than at the lower.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of Wild Australia All the time I have been writing this little book I have been wishing I could gather you all around me and take you with me to some of the places in far away Australia where I myself have seen the little black children at their play. You would understand so much better all I have tried to say. It is a bright sunny land where those children live, but in many ways a far less pleasant land to live in than our own. The country often grows very parched and bare, the grass dies, the rivers begin to dry up, and the poor little children of the wilderness have great difficulty in getting food. Then perhaps a great storm comes and a great quantity of rain falls. The rivers fill up and the grass begins to grow again, but myriads of flies follow and they get into the children's eyes and perhaps blind some of them, and the mosquitoes come and bite them and give them fevers sometimes.

Book Synopsis Rambles of an Australian Naturalist by : Paul Fountain
Download or read book Rambles of an Australian Naturalist written by Paul Fountain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles of an Australian Naturalist It is always difficult to write a preface; it is an art to write a good one. There are peculiar difficulties in scoring the overture to the present work, because it is only partially mine. I am at liberty to say that it was because Mr Ward did not feel sufficiently confident to write the book by himself that he sought my aid. I hope I have done justice to the mass of splendid material he has entrusted to me. I can truly say I have handled it with a loving care that has not been exceeded in the writing of any of my own books. Before I undertook the task of collating Mr Ward's notes, I stipulated that I should be permitted to treat the book as my own. I regard it as a foster-child, but as dear to me as any of my own literary offspring. Mr Ward is a Queensland stock-farmer, who, like myself, has amused himself in the intervals of a roughly laborious life with studying Nature in the wild, and prying into the wonders of her works. I am forbidden, by the position I have accepted, to say plainly what I think, or what I feel, of his ability as a field naturalist; but I must say that his splendid powers of observation demanded that I should exert myself to the utmost to deal worthily with the material placed at my disposal. My task has been to reduce the notes to readable form, collect the scattered information on specific subjects, and identify and supply the scientific names of species, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Two fearless women--living a century apart--find themselves entangled in the mystery surrounding the biggest scientific controversy of the nineteenth century: the classification of the platypus. 1808 Agnes Banks, NSW Rose Winton wants nothing more than to work with her father, eminent naturalist Charles Winton, on his groundbreaking study of the platypus. Not only does she love him with all her heart but the discoveries they have made could turn the scientific world on its head. When Charles is unable to make the long sea journey to present his findings to the prestigious Royal Society in England, Rose must venture forth in his stead. What she discovers will forever alter the course of scientific history. 1908 Sydney, NSW Tamsin Alleyn has been given a mission: travel to the Hunter Valley and retrieve an old sketchbook of debatable value, gifted to the Public Library by a recluse. But when she gets there, she finds there is more to the book than meets the eye, and more than one interested party. Shaw Everdene, a young antiquarian bookseller and lawyer, seems to have his own agenda when it comes to the book. Determined to uncover the book's true origin, Tamsin agrees to join forces with him. The deeper they delve, the more intricate the mystery of the book's authorship becomes. As the lives of two women a century apart converge, discoveries emerge from the past with far-reaching consequences in this riveting tale of courage and discovery.
