The south-western slopes (Fig. 1) is one of the biogeographical regions of New South Wales defined by Anderson (1968) and consistently used as the basis for representative conservation of flora. The boundaries of the regions are delineated principally by climate — for the south-western slopes, rainfall is between 400 and 900 mm per year falling predominantly in winter; winter frosts are common but snow is rare.

. The Australian zoologist. Zoology; Zoology; Zoology. 50km FIG. 1. Map of the south-western slopes of New South Wales showing the location of the areas surveyed, coded as in Table 1. The south-western slopes (Fig. 1) is one of the biogeographical regions of New South Wales defined by Anderson (1968) and consistently used as the basis for representative conservation of flora. The boundaries of the regions are delineated principally by climate — for the south-western slopes, rainfall is between 400 and 900 mm per year falling predominantly in winter; winter frosts are common but snow is rare. Altitude varies from 600 m in the east (although some areas are as high as 1000 m) to 100 m in the west. Physiographically it comprises hilly, undulating and plains country. Settlement of the region followed the expedition of Hume and Hovell in 1824, and by 1860 almost all the region was subdivided into pastoral holdings (Taylor 1959). Extensive clearing for wheat growing began soon after on the 514 Aust. Zool. 21(6), 1985.
