Art. V.—FPersonal Observations made in an Excursion to- 
wards the Central Parts of Victoria, including Mount 
Macedon, Mclvor, and Black Ranges. By Wi.Liam 
BLANDOWSKI, Esq. 
THe Victorian Government having conferred on me the 
honour of assisting in the formation of a museum of Natural 
History, and of reporting upon the physical character of 
those parts which, in the execution of that mission, I should 
happen to visit, I accordingly selected for the scenes of my 
early labours that portion of the country including within its 
area, Mount Macedon (40 miles north of Melbourne), McIvor 
(30 miles north of Mount Macedon), and the Black Ranges, 
on the upper Goulburn River, 40 miles eastward of Melvor. 
I have now the honour to lay before the Philosophical Society, 
the principal results of my observations during the three 
months devoted to this interesting object, having reduced 
them under the following distinct heads:— 
I. The physical character of the midland portions of the 
country ; with a review of the general capabilities of, 
its surface.
