fauna and flora of Australasia were, contrary to what was once believed, a most interesting study, The similarity between animals and plants found in the south of the three con tinents, Australia, South Africa, and South America, strongly suggested the hypothesis that at one time there was a bond of union
between these continents. The theory he advocated was that they were all connected

Although the notion had been generally accepted that Fiji, on the east of the Australian coast, was an island thrown up out of the sea, the similarity of snails found in New Zealand and that place had suggested to him that the two places at one time formed part of a con.
tinental area extending much farther north, and this theory had been substantiated by recent discoveries of rocks in Fiji, which were of strictly continenal origin. Australia, too had at one time been connected with the big islands at the north-east, Torres Strait being very shallow. This connection was proved by the wild banana and wild orangol being common to the east coast of Queensland and these islands, while the characteristic Australian gum trees were met with in the islands. Australia had also given some of these places the wonderful tree, kangaroo, which was like a monkey, and travelled from tree-top to tree-top for great distances.
Australia had the biggest reptile in the world, the crocodile, the lecturer describing how the natives of Queensland captured them by means of rattan ropes, diving down into the water and
slipping a noose over their heads while they were asleep on the bottom of the river. It was
