  • History and Management of Culham Inlet, a Coastal Salt Lake in South-Western Australia
    JournalJournal of ofthe the Royal Royal Society Society of Westernof Western Australia, Australia, 80(4), 80:239-247, December 1997 1997 History and management of Culham Inlet, a coastal salt lake in south-western Australia E P Hodgkin 86 Adelma Road, Dalkeith, WA 6009 email: [email protected] Manuscript received August 1996; accepted May 1997. Abstract When Culham Inlet was first flooded by the Holocene rise in sea level it was an estuary, but in historic times it has been a salt lake closed by a high sea bar. It is in an area of low rainfall and episodic river flow and sometimes all water is lost by evaporation to below sea level. With above average rainfall in 1989 and 1992, high water levels in the Inlet flooded farm paddocks and threatened to break the bar and a road along it from Hopetoun to the Fitzgerald River National Park. In 1993 the bar was breached to release flood water, and the Inlet was briefly an estuary. Engineering measures designed to restore road access and prevent flooding are examined for their potential to restore the Inlet to its pre-1993 condition of a productive ecosystem. Recent clearing in the catchments of Culham Inlet and nearby estuaries in the south coast low rainfall area has increased river flow to them and appears to have caused their bars to break more frequently. Introduction (Fig 2) that is only known to have broken naturally once, In historic times Culham Inlet has been a coastal in 1849. The bar was broken artificially in 1920, but for lagoon on a semi-arid part of the south coast of Western over 70 years since then the Inlet has absorbed river flow Australia (Fig 1), separated from the sea by a high bar without the bar breaking, until 1993.

    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976,4 (2) THE GENUS MENETIA (LACERTILIA, SCINCIDAE) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA G.M. STORR* [Received 1 July 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 30 September 1976.] ABSTRACT The Australian genus Menetia comprises at least five species, three of which occur in Western Australia, namely M. greyii Gray, M. maini novo and M. surda novo A lectotype is designated for M. greyii. INTRODUCTION Until recently all skinks with an immovable transparent lower eyelid were placed in Ablepharus. Fuhn (1969) broke up this polyphyletic assemblage, allotting the Australian species to nine groups, including the genus Menetia. Fuhn, and indeed all workers till now, regarded Menetia as monotypic. Greer (1974) believes that Menetia is derived from the genus Carlia. All the material used in this revision is lodged in the Western Australian Museum. Genus Menetia Gray Menetia Gray, 1845, 'Catalogue of the specimens of lizards in the collection ofthe British Museum', p.65. Type-species (by monotypy): M. greyii Gray. * Curator of Birds and Reptiles, W.A. Museum. 189 Diagnosis Very small, smooth, terrestrial skinks with lower eyelid immovable and bearing a large circular transparent disc incompletely surrounded by granules; digits 4 + 5; first supraocular long and narrow and obliqu~ly orientated. Distribution Most of Australia except the wettest and coolest regions. At least five species, three of them in Western Australia. Description Snout-vent length up to 38 mm. Tail fragile, 1.2-2.0 times as long as snout to vent. Nasals usually separated widely. No supranasals or postnasals. Prefrontals usually separated very narrowly. Frontal small, little if any larger than prefrontals.

  • The Genus Egernia (Lacertilia, Scincidae) in Western Australia
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1978,6 (2) THE GENUS EGERNIA (LACERTILIA, SCINCIDAE) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA G.M. STORR* [Received 27 October 1976. Accepted 5 May 1977. Published 30 June 1978.] ABSTRACT The 17 species and subspecies of Egernia occurring in Western Australia are described and keyed, viz. E. depressa (Giinther), E. stokesii stokesii (Gray), E. stokesii aethiops nov., E. stokesii badia nov., E. kingii (Gray) [syn. E. nitida (Gray)], E. napoleonis (Gray) [E. nitida of authors, not Gray], E. carinata H.M. Smith, E. formosa Fry, E. douglasi Glauert, E. luctuosa (Peters) [syn. E. lauta DeVis], E. pilbarensis nov., E. pulchrapulchra Werner, E. pulchra longicauda Ford, E. multiscutata bos Storr, E. inornata Rosen, E. striata Sternfeld, E. kintorei Stirling & Zietz. A lectotype is designated for Tropidolopisma dumerilii Dumeril & Bibron [= E. kingii]. The Victorian representative of E. luctuosa is described as a new species, E. coventryi. INTRODUCTION This paper brings up to date an earlier revision of the Egernia whitii group (Storr, 1968) and deals for the first time since Mitchell (1950) with the other western members of the genus. It is based on specimens in the Western Australian Museum (registered numbers cited without prefix). I have also used some specimens in the National Museum of Victoria (numbers prefixed with NMV), Australian Museum (AM), Queensland Museum (QM), collec­ tion of the British Joint Services Expedition to Central Australia (JSE), and British Museum (Natural History), for the loan of which I am indebted to Mr A.J. Coventry, Dr H.G. Cogger, Miss J. Covacevich, Lt-Cdr A.Y. Norris and Mr A.F.
