There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

She joined the staff at NSW in 1989 and died at Tahmoor, New South Wales on the 17th November 2013. Introduction Elizabeth Anne Brown was born on 15 November 1956 in Auckland, New Zealand. She was the second child and only daughter of Barbara Brown (née Bray, 1929–1998) and John Martin Ainley Brown (1928–2005) Professor of Plant Physiology, the University of Auckland) who emigrated from the Newcastle area of northern England to New Zealand on 19th March 1956. Since Government State housing was unavailable in New Zealand when they arrived, they initially stayed in a transit camp where Elizabeth was born. She had an elder brother, John Christopher Brown, born 12th August 1953, who died at the age of three just after Elizabeth’s birth. The family eventually moved into a house in Cathedral Place, Parnell where Elizabeth’s younger brother David was born in 1958. They later moved to Laurie Avenue, Parnell when Elizabeth was five and David three.
