Markets Report Ken Matthews AO Before the production of the Australian Water Markets Report, Chair and Chief Executive Officer there was no consolidated, annual, nation-wide report on 17 December 2008 water trading around Australia. Mindful of the disparate sources of market information required to compile the report, the Commission engaged the Allen Consulting Group to assist with data collection and analysis in this inaugural year of publication. The Bureau of Rural Sciences was also engaged to produce maps for the report. The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the states and territories for providing water trading information for the Australian Water Markets Report. A number of private organisations also assisted in the provision of market information. Even so, the collection of trading data and other related water information remains very challenging. The Commission is pleased that new ground has been broken to establish a valuable new data resource for Australia. Content of the Australian Water Markets Report The Australian Water Markets Report is a statement of past activity for the 2007–08 water year. It is therefore not intended to be a guide to inform market participants for the future, but rather highlights trends and market activity over the course of an entire water year (and subsequent water years as it is reproduced annually).

Redescription of Bungona Harker with new synonyms in the Australian Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 58(2): 247–254. The monospecific genus Bungona Harker is redefined and descriptions of the imago and nymphs of Bungona narilla Harker are provided. Two species described by Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty (1998) as Cloeodes fustipalpus and C. illiesi are recognised as being conspecific and junior synonyms of Bungona narilla. Bungona narilla is distributed along the east coast of Australia from North Queensland to Tasmania and nymphs occur in shallow, slow flowing, cobble streams. Introduction papers. The two species clearly belong in Bung- ona as redefined by Dean and Suter (1996) and Harker (1957) erected the genus Bungona and subsequently verified.
