About this title

Synopsis

Explore a diverse slice of Australia's natural history in this late 19th‑century museum journal. It features detailed notes, species descriptions, and plates that illuminate the region’s molluscs, birds, reptiles, and aquatic life.

In this issue, readers encounter careful species descriptions and taxonomic discussions, including a study of a previously undescribed bivalve from Sydney Harbour. The volume also collects notes on Australian Hemiptera, avian topics with accompanying plates, and short essays on geology and ethnology from the Wollondilly region, all crafted by expert researchers of the Australian Museum.

• Descriptive studies of Australian marine and land species, with plates illustrating key features.
• Notes on insects and other invertebrates from New South Wales and surrounding areas.
• Geological and ethnological observations from New South Wales locales.
• A compact collection of notices and errata that clarify prior identifications and plate details.

Ideal for readers of natural history and museum publications who want historic, curator‑level insights into Australian biodiversity.
