To compile a comprehensive profile of the contemporary social environment of the East Kimberley region utilising both existing information sources and limited fieldwork. 2. Develop and utilise appropriate methodological approaches to social impact assessment within a multi-disciplinary framework. 3. Assess the social impact of major public and private developments of the East Kimberley region's resources (physical, mineral and environmental) on resident Aboriginal communities. Attempt to identify problems/issues which, while possibly dormant at present, are likely to have implications that will affect communities at some stage in the future. 4. Establish a framework to allow the dissemination of research results to Aboriginal communities so as to enable them to develop their own strategies for dealing with social impact issues. 5. To identify in consultation with Governments and regional interests issues and problems which may be susceptible to further research.

The response to the Super Early Bird registration offer was excellent. Delegates are now taking advantage of the Early bird registration fees of $550 for students and $995 for members (a member of any national geological organisation worldwide qualifies for the members rate). It is important to note that all 34th IGC registration fees include refreshments and lunch every day of the program, the welcome reception and all congress materials. Every effort has been made to keep the fees to the minimum and it is only because of the support of our sponsors and supporters that these fees have been achievable.

As a consquence, all species can be distinguished without regarding of genitalic characters, when compar- ison with related species is possible. Unlike typical odacanthine beetles, species of Porocara live in pure wet sand of rivers and larger creeks near water, where during daytime they are buried in the sand or under stones and boulders. At night they come out of their holes to forage around the pools. 1 never found them in dry river or creek beds far away from water. The yellow or light reddish colouration matches very well the colour of the sand, and the elytral pattern is in all species rather inconspicuous, except for fully coloured specimens of P. nigricollis, and it serves as a purpose to obscure the body shape. Only in P. nigricolUs of far Northern Territory that is a species of the füll wet tropical zone the colour pattern is more accentuate and may be regarded an example of Gloger's rule. Material This second revision is based on altogether 90 additional specimens representing 5 taxa (excluding P. p. punctata and P. glabmta) from my own recent collections in far northern and northwestern Austral- ia, my collections in the Hamersley area in 1987, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin, and a small collection from northwestern Australia kindly received from Miss S.

  • Western Australia a History from Its Discovery to the Inauguration of the Commonwealth
    WESTERN AUSTRALIA A HISTORY FROM ITS DISCOVERY TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH BY J.S. BATTYE, LITT.D. PUBLIC LIBRARIAN OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1924. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, COPENHAGEN, NEW YORK, TORONTO, MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, MADRAS, SHANGHAI. HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY. PREFACE. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest. The work has been the result of over twenty years' research, undertaken, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Registrar-General (Mr. M.A.C. Fraser) and his Deputy (Mr. W. Siebenhaar) for the purpose of checking the historical introduction to the Year Book of Western Australia. It has since been continued in the hope that it may prove a contribution of more or less value to the history of colonial development. In the prosecution of the work, the files of the Public Record Office, London, were searched, and copies made of all documents that could be found which related to the establishment and early years of the colony. These copies are now in the possession of the Public Library of Western Australia, which contains also most of the published matter in the way of books and pamphlets dealing with the colony, as well as almost complete files of the local newspapers to date, and the original records of the Colonial Secretary's Office up to 1876.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Tasmanitachoides mandibularis sp. nov. is described from the eastern margin of the Kimberley Division, north-western Western Australia. The new species is most similar to T. obliquiceps (Sloane) from eastern Australia, but is distinguished by its smaller size, shorter and wider elytra, less distinct elytral striation, longer and more conspicuous pilosity on the upper surface, and finely punctate pronotum. The new species is inserted in the most recent key to the genus Tasmanitachoides.

The far north of the State thus remained the last terra incognita in Australia. The present paper fills this gap by providing informa­ tion on the distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, movements and breeding season of Kimberley birds. Coverage is much the same as in my List of Northern Territory birds (1967, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 4), List of Queensland birds (1973, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 5) and Birds of the Northern Territory (1977, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 7). An innovation is data on clutch size. The area covered by this paper is the Kimberley Land Division (Le. that part of Western Australia north of lat. 19°30'S) and the seas and islands of the adjacent continental shelf, including specks of land, such as Ashmore Reef, that are administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Distribution is often given in climatic as well as geographic terms by referring to the subhumid zone (mean annual rainfall 100-150 cm), semiarid zone (50-100 cm) or arid zone (less than 50 cm).

Firstname: Othername/s: Abbreviationfordegree as givenin the University calendar: .^..b:'...^, School: .t , Title: Srrr^. ^a.hrO^ " — A new approach to sediment tracing using natural mineral magnetism has been developed to determine relative sediment contributions at stream junctions. This methc is developed on the basis that well mixed assemblages of magnetic minerals exist in sediment that is delivered to a stream junction, and that relative tributary contributions can be determined at confluences where the magnetic properties of the sediments are distinguishable. The method uses linear relationships between two mineral magnetic parameters to calculate relative tributary contributions to the resultant binary mix in the reach downstream of the confluence. The dominant sediment source catchments may thus be identified by a sequence of confluence measurements along a drainage network The requirements of this technique are that the tributaries and the downstream reach have constant average magnetic parameter relationships (i.e. the sediments are well mixed) over an appropriate period. This is possible because sediment transport mechanisms have an averaging effect as sediment is delivered first to a stream channel, and then transported within the channel. A simple model was developed to explain how random mixing of fluvial sediment can generate linear magnetic parameter relationship and how mixing of linear relationships occurs at confluences. The study empirically examines the spatial and temporal constancy of the magnetic mineral component of fluvial sediments using mineral magnetic parameters. Spatial and temporal constancy important because without it spurious estimates of source contributions can occur • because the magnetic properties of sediment are altered in some way between the sourc and the sediment sink.
