1.-DEFINITIONS OF CLIMOGRAPHS. 



Griffith Taylor has proposed the following Climographs (as he terms them) for 

 Rainfall Regions (rainfall is not, however, the only factor), in his "The Australian 

 Environment (especially as controlled by Rainfall)." 



gion W.l 



Tropical Western Australia. ... 



Hall's Creek. 



W.2 



Arid Coast 



Carnarvon. 



W.3 



Arid Centre 



(like Nullagine). 



W.4 



Swanland 



Perth. 



K.l 



Darwinia 



Darwin. 



K.2 



Macdonnells 



(like Daly Waters) 



S.l 



Lake Eyre 



(like Broken Hill). 



S.2 



Adelaide 



(like Broken Hill). 



Q.1 



Cloncurry 



Cloncurry. 



Q.2 



Townsville 



Townsville. 



Q.3 



Brisbane 



Brisbane. 



N.l 



Darling-Lachlan 



Broken Hill. 



N.2 



Canberra 



Sydney. 



V. 



Victoria 



Melbourne. 



T. 



Tasmania 



Hobart. 



Each Region is illustrated by a map showing contours and Rainfall We will 

 see if we can place the Eucalypts in these Regions. There is a Key Map to the 15 Rain- 

 fall Regions at Fig. 14, p. 33, which will be reproduced later in the present work. 



Column No. 1 gives the letter and sequence number (if any), indicating the Region, 

 Column No. 2, the proposed name of the Region, and Column No. 3 the name of a centre 

 of population or district (usually) as a catch-word to help to memorise the Regions. 



1. Region W.l. Tropical W. A. Hall's Creek. 



That portion of the Western State which lies north of the Tropic of Capricorn. 

 Bounded on the south by the arid regions (W.2 and W.3) and on the east by the Northern 

 Territory. At the north it includes the Kimberleys. 



2. Region W.2. Arid Coast. Carnarvon. 



The bo ndaries are not physical, and therefore must be somewhat artiiical. 

 The region corresponds closely to Jutson's North- West Division. The two important 

 rivers are the Gascoyne and the Murchison
