11 pages. With two photographic plates and two colour maps in one large fold-out sheet, illustrating the Monte Bello Islands and part of North West Australia. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is an interesting account on the study of the flora and fauna of the Monte Bello Islands - Hermite, Trimouille and North-West islands - which was of great importance since the indigenous animals were disappearing so rapidly. Montague beautifully depicts the geographical features of the islands along with the indigenous plants. Of common native birds and animals mentioned are sea-eagles, white-headed Osprey, green and Hawksbill turtles, reptiles, lizards, and abundant mound-building termites. Montague also points out that some of the introduced animals such as the invasive domestic cats and black rats have caused great damage to the islands. Black rats were apparently attributed to a schooner which was wrecked some twelve years ago. Monte Bello Islands, Located on the North-West Coast of Western Australia, Were Economically Significant for Pearl Fishing. This is a Fascinating Report on the Fauna of the Islands. Accompanied by Two Beautiful Colour Maps.
