It is found in a wide variety of habitats in eastern and southeastern Australia, generally preferring open, drier country to the wetter sclerophyl forests. lt is a fas t-moving, timid snake which will normally avoid contact with humans but which may become very aggressive if provoked, adopting the attitude shown in the photo. The sen itive tongue, which is an important sense organ in snakes, is always active when a nake is alarmed and may be extended, quivering, for long periods. The Eastern Brown nake is usually some shade of grey or brown above, though occasional specimens are almost black. The belly is usually cream with irregular orange spots and blotrhes. BACK COVER: A radiogr2ph of a Butterfly Fish (Citaetodon ltawensis), trawled in 70 fathoms off Wollongong, New South Wales. X-rays are used in the study of fish to examine the bones of the skull, ''ertebrae, and caudal skeleton in particular; vertebral counts can be made and counts of unpaired fins verified. Occasionally a fish in the stomach contents will show up in an X-ray. [Photos: C. V. Turner] Can We Appreciate Aboriginal Music? By CATHERINE J. ELLIS Lecturer, Department of Music, University of Adelaide, South Australia MPATHY with a singer and his song is the only means by which we may learn toE appreciate the music of a tribal people. The listener who takes the trouble to achieve this experience will find it a rewarding one. It may seem a strange possibility that a study of music can make clear for us the changes that are occurring in the society of which that music is an expression. Music is a very personal experience, but also one which is shared by society. Through song the noblest aspirations or the greatest fears may find individual expression, and may, at the same time, be shared by all. The history that music recounts is not a collection of coldly­ observed facts, but a portrayal of the emotional struggles of those involved in events of consequence to them. J t does not, however, become available to us until we have learned how to appreciate the music through which this history is recorded. Despite the subjective account it supplies, the importance of artistic expression, par­ ticularly in song, must not be overlooked in the understanding of any people. lt is possible, by listening carefully and sympa­ Europ�anization in music: Douglas Carter. of thetically to the songs performed by any Murray Bridge.

About 80% of Class Pycnogonida all described species of animal life are arthropods — jointed-limb animals. On land, they are best These slender creatures are all legs, with a short, represented by insects, arachnids (spiders, mites, thin body. Most have 8 legs; deep-sea species have and their relatives), myriapods (centipedes and 10 (one New Zealand species) or 12 legs. There millipedes), and some crustacean groups (woodlice are 83 species in the EEZ, associated with hydroids, and soil hoppers). In the sea, the subphylum sea anemones, or bryozoans, from which they suck Crustacea dominates, both on the seafloor and in body fluids using a tube-like proboscis. the plankton. Marine insects are found intertidally and in shallow coastal waters but not in the deep sea. Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) are an ancient group of marine creatures that are not closely related to true spiders. Pycnogonids range from the intertidal to the deep sea. The basic body plan of head, thorax, and abdomen is obvious in creatures like prawns and mantis shrimps. Most body segments have jointed limbs. These are primitively forked in many crustaceans but some limbs are simple (like the walking legs of crabs). Marine crustaceans vary enormously in size from microscopic parasites a tenth of a millimeter in size to giant crabs, lobsters, and sea lice (isopods) up to half a metre in length or breadth and weighing up to 20 kilograms, and the body regions can be highly modified.

Deepwater decapod, stomatopod and lophogastrid Crustacea from Eastern Australia and the Great Australian Bight collected in 2015–2017: preliminary identifications of 191 species. Museum Victoria Science Reports 21: 1–97. Abstract A collection of deepwater decapods systematically sampled from Australia’s continental slope and abyssal plain (200–5000 m) is reported from the combined surveys of the Great Australian Bight (GAB) and south-east and central-east coast of Australia (ECA). This report documents 191 species (115 from the GAB and 108 from the ECA (with 33 shared species)) in 44 families: Dendrobranchiata (32 species), Caridea (57 species), Polychelida (10 species), Achelata (3 species), Astacidea (3 species), Axiidea (2 species), Anomura (52 species), Brachyura (32 species). Nineteen per cent (37) of all species are suspected to be undescribed, 11% (21) are recorded for the first time from Australia and a further 37% (70) are new to either the GAB or the south-east or central coast of Australia.
