Abstract
ONE of the chief functions of the Commonwealth Bureau of Pastures and Field Crops has been to collect and index information on the grasslands of the world.. Vast tracts of such land, very diverse in character, are found in Latin America, and Miss G. M. Roseveare has carried out the formidable task of bringing together in a single bulletin the data relatin to them. From the voluminous nature of the material available, no conciso, summarized account can be expected, and as Dr. R. O. Whyte states in his foreword, the reader must be left to weigh up one fact or point of view against another and to make his own decisions. The information, however, has been presented in a well-arranged and readable form, the short historical introduction adding considerably to the general interest of the bulletin.
