The systematic examinatiou of the Eucalvptus oils of Australasia is almost entirely dno to R, T, Baker and H. G. Smith, of the Technological Museum, Sydney, N.S.W., and the greater part of the details here recorded is acknowledged to their numerous valuable publications.

Polygala japonica Houtt. (Polygala sibirica non L.), or dwarf milkwort, himehagi (Japanese), is a little perennial herb of Australasia. The leaves are tiny and broadly elliptic, and the flowers are purplish-blue (Fig. 42). 

The term "Gondwanaland" in Table I refers to a once-existing supercontinent consisting of what are now known as Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australasia and India (5). The Permian coals... 

World production of zinc increased from 0.5 million metric tons in 1900 to 6.1 million tons in 1978 (Elinder 1986) to 7.1 million tons in 1987 (USPHS 1989). The principal ores of zinc are sulfides, such as sphalerite and wurtzite (Elinder 1986). The major world producers include Canada, the former Soviet Union, and Japan — which collectively account for about half the production — and, secondly, the United States, Australasia, Mexico, and Peru (Weatherley et al. 1980 Elinder 1986). Zinc is now available as ingots, lumps, sheets, wire, shot, strips, granules, and powder (USPHS 1989). The United States produced 240,000 tons of zinc in 1987 — mostly from Tennessee, Mississippi, and New York, but also 16 other states — and imported an additional 774,000 metric tons, thus consuming 14% of world zinc production while producing 3.4% (USPHS 1989).

Furthermore, following concerns over the way the ozone layer is being damaged by man-made chemicals, some UV-c now reaches the Earth s surface, particularly in Australasia and some parts of South America. People living in such places are not adequately protected against the harmful effects of the sun s rays by the melanin in their skin.

In addition to their role in orientation behavior, the periplanones may participate in reproductive isolation among sympatric Periplaneta species. Periplanone-A from P. americana attracts Periplaneta australasiae. Periplanone-B, and possibly some other components, inhibits attraction of male P australasiae (Seelinger, 1985b). Two other periplanones, periplanone-C (3 Table 6.2) and periplanone-D (4 Table 6.2), have been isolated from P. americana (Biendl et al, 1989 Takahashi et al,...

This small family is found in Australasia Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and the islands of the Pacific. 

This is a family of southern and southeastern Asia, Australasia, and South America. It furnishes a few ornamentals. 

In 1985 large holes were discovered in the ozone layer over Antarctica, Australasia and Europe (Figure 7.12). Scientists think that these holes have partly been produced by chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs. CFCs were developed as refrigerants in fridges back in the 1950s. They have also been used in air conditioning systems, in aerosol cans (as propellants) and in the manufacture of expanded plastics such as polystyrene. CFCs are very unreactive molecules. They escape into the atmosphere and, because of their inertness, remain without further reaction until they reach the...
