Thew ha.bours are generWy of easy seam One
feature et the eastern mast of Australis must not be
passed unto iced—the range of coral reefs called the
Greet Barrier. which extend from Sandy Point to
the coast of New Guinea. Within this barrier there
is deep aid almost always maestl water. When the
Northern pats of tl'o east meet are settled, the sate
masting navigation within the Great Bonier will be
of immense importance.
Tue climate of Australia has been deemed norm-
key het stithost good cause. That portion of the i
continent abide lies within the tropic* is so little
keowe, that it would be nab to pronounce an opi-
sine respecting it. But it west be kept in mind that
both to the south and to the north of the tropics, and
immediately adjoining them, there is a broad belt or
land remarkable for the dnmess of its atmo-
sphere. The no-rein of Egypt hes been fa-
mous sines the days of Herodotas ; the
aridity of the west coast of America about the juno-
tin of the two C.,lifornies is notorious. Buenos
Ayres is subject to successive years of drought;
lad se is the Cape of Good Mope. The greater pert
d extra tropical Alettalia is situated within the
southern belt of &yam; add to this that the
extremely low level of the great inland Iselin
redeem meteorological phenomena akin to those
disseved abort Lake Aral. The cycle which stems to
bring about al ornately year, of continuous drought
mid years of superebeedent moisture, would app
is be limited bathe latitudes of the great inland plain.
The drought. have not bees observed in Australia Felix
ex in South Australia, nor do they seem to extend to
the west coast. New England and the northern table
tend appear in all yews to enjoy enoagh of moisture.
There can be no doubt that throughout extra-tropical
Austrelia the atmosphere is lees loaded with mois-
ture than in Europe ; but this only to an extent
condoeive to health, not (except within the
latitudes already mentioned) so as to prejudice
vegetation at any time. And even in the very
dry region th.• construction of tanks on a large scale,
whey the erles otwet and dry years have been suffi-
ciently aseertsined, will enable the inhabitants to
counteract anything prejudicial in this peculiar at-
mosphi ric ph, common.
The vegetation of middle and southern Australia is
very unlike that of any other known cosatry. A
large rumor of the genera and some entire natural
orders are abeolettle nekrown beyond the continent
and the itl•nds immediately adjoining: Forests of
nedypti, called gum trees by the coloetsts, prevail;
many of the es trees are a hundred and fifty feet high,
with a girth of from twenty-five to forty feet. Wild
figs, tree-ferns, nettles of an arboreseent habit, hair-
branched casusenas, and myrtaesous trees with box-
like leaves, contribute to stamp the features
of tie forest vegetation. Is general the colours
of the forest strike the European eye at
fit as dull wed sombre. The mousers of the

htarior are choked ap with gigantic reeds. There
acs ride swards of grasses, among which the Km-
woo grass, is the most *headset. It is, femme, •
feature common to all the lateral grease of Am-
trak' that they grow in tufts with spaces of here
round iotervt ning. The herbaceous flowers are
emerroes and beautiful, bet utterly 'alike those of
Say other country. Some of the woods ate well
adored for hour,• std ship-building. Palms abound
to the tortn sod pines to the south of the continent.
