Abstract
IT is not often that research workers are able to review the whole field of their particular investigation in their own country, but grassland agronomists in Australia are placed in this fortunate position by the appearance of Bulletin No. 14 of the Herbage Publication Series of the Institute of Agricultural Botany (“Grassland Research in Australia”, Imperial Bureau of Plant Genetics, Aberystwyth, Great Britain, 3s., February 1934). The bulletin contains a comprehensive survey of Australian research work on pasture management and improvement, the genetics, pests and diseases of grass crops, poisonous plants, the introduction of new species and plant physiology as it relates to grasses. For each research centre, the names of the investigators, the scope of the work, experimental procedure and references to published results are given. Two original papers on “The Technique of Pasture Investigations” by J. Griffiths Davies and H. C. Trumble, and “Botanical Analysis of Irrigated Pasture” by E. S. Beruldsen and A. Morgan are also included in the bulletin.
