In New South Wales P. xanthopus is limited to an area of 70 by 10 km, about 150 km north-east of Broken Hill. The distinctive habitat consists of cliffs, wind-blown caves and angled boulders jumbled together. The temperature and relative humidity differed by 11�C and 21 % between the outside and the inside of one cave. The vegetation is abundant and diverse, and indicates a moisture regime more favourable to the species than is that of the surrounding plain. The conservation of the species is discussed.

Survey Effort

A specimen of the Triodia Earless Skink Hemiergis millewae was discovered on the Barrier Range of far-western New South Wales (NSW). This observation is significant because it constitutes the first record of the species in NSW and the Broken Hill Complex bioregion, extending the species’ range 140 km north-east of the nearest known population in South Australia. Suitable spinifex habitat for H. millewae is highly isolated and small in extent on the Barrier Range, and the species may qualify for listing as a threatened species in NSW. I discuss the cause of apparent disjunctions in the species’ distribution and highlight the need for additional survey effort.

Mammal surveys were carried out on the Carrai Plateau and Richmond Range in north-east New South Wales between March 1988 and November 1989. The emphasis was placed on rainforest mammals, following the recognition by Adam ( 1987) that the species lists of mammals in the state's rainforests were incomplete and that more research was needed. The mammals were surveyed primarily by analysis of prey remains in Dog and Fox scats, collected from roads throughout the forests, and from bat trapping. The bat fauna at both the Carrai Plateau and Richmond Range is rich (1 0 species and nine species respectively, including the rare Golden-tipped Bat, Kerivoula papuensis, in the Richmond Range). Scat analysis revealed the presence of 24 native species on the Carrai Plateau, and on the Richmond Range there were 17 species, including high numbers of two pademelon species. Feral prey species are almost completely absent, although the Fox is an established predator in both areas. A sharp division was identified between the mammal faunas of closed and open forests. Differences were found also between the mammal fauna composition of the two rainforest sites, and with those of nearby eucalypt forests. The mammal fauna of New South Wales rainforests is distinct from open forests and future mammal surveys are needed to ensure an adequate level of knowledge to identify and conserve these areas.

Proportionality Relationship

SummaryRetrograde metamorphism of gneisses and pegmatites leads in part to the destruction of feldspar and its replacement by late-stage lobate myrmekite and muscovite. Reactions promoted by retrogression suggest a range in volume of quartz production that may supplement that developed by exsolution and lead to deviations from the strict proportionality relationship suggested by previous workers. There is no need, however, to propose that quartz in myrmekite originates by constriction of pre-existing quartz within exsolved albite.
