Daily minimum temperatures for July (coldest month) are 60-70° and 30-45°F. respectively, and daily maximum temperatures for January (hottest month) arc 85-90° and 60-65°F., respectively. (d) Generalized aridity. Agriculturists classify Australia as being only one-third fertile, with the remaining thirds semi-arid and arid, respectively. Rainfall (Fig. 4) is the all-important factor governing the distribution of life in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
