Port Phillip District Weather and Aboriginal Notes
A long report from Port Phillip surveys the district's geology, Aboriginal inquiries, and meteorology. It discusses a fossil bone likely from a Diprotodina, Aborigines' accounts of a living Boynep creature, and meteorological data from Port Jackson, Port Macquarie, and Melbourne, with rainfall, temperatures, and drought notes, plus fiscal figures for Aborigine services and colonial population movements.
