0 Colour Plate A. The five different kinds of organisms, plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and viruses are shown here 
O arising f rom the first kind of life. The areas of each circle at the end of a branch represents the number of species in the 
group concerned 
Colour Plate B. Venus setting over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Hay 17, 1962. The first exposure was made at 
about 5.30 p.m. and subsequent exposures were separated by about 10 minutes. Each exposure about 4 seconds. High 
speed Ektachrome at f/2. Taken f rom Mrs. Macquarie's Point in the Sydney Domain Park 
Colour Plate C. Venus and the moon setting over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on July 4, 1962. First exposure taken 
at 5.50 p.m. and subsequent exposures at 10-minute intervals. Each exposure 6 seconds. Kodachrome II at f/2 
Colour Plate D. A rock pool at the mid-tide level of the rock platform. A community of plants and animals adapted 
to intertidal conditions 
Colour Plate E. Pasture improvement—the interaction of soils, 
plants and animals in agriculture. The thick, green, high food value 
pasture on the right was produced by changing the genotypes in the 
pasture, and their nutr i t ion, simply by dropping white clover seed 
and superphosphate on the soil. This pasture provided many times 
more chemical energy per acre than the natural pasture on the 
left, and produced it more evenly over the year. See, in Chapter 
39, the effects on sheep of grazing on these two types of pasture 
Colour Plate F. Heredity. Genetic variation in the colour of leaves. 
The green of leaves is due to the green substance chlorophyll. The 
formation of chlorophyll is controlled by heredity. Some plants 
appear green because they inherited the ability to make chloro­
phyll. O t h e r plants appear white because they did not inherit 
this ability. Many hundreds of different characters, in all kinds of 
organisms, are inherited f rom their parents 
Colour Plate G. Chemical weathering of sedimentary rock at Upper Manil la, N e w South Wales 
Colour Plate H . Sandhill in Central Australia. Note the colour and the steep slope of the moving sand 
Colour Plate I. The Southern Cross, Alpha and Beta Centauri, and Musca. Taken at Colour Plate J. The Southern Cross, Alpha and Beta Centauri, Musca, Carina, and 
Wahroonga near Sydney on January 14, 1963, at about II p.m. Exposed for about 17 Chameleon. Taken at Wahroonga near Sydney about March 14, 1962; exposure began 
minutes on Kodachrome II at f/4 at about 8.30 p.m. and lasted about 42 minutes. High speed Ektachrome at f 2.2. 
Wide angle lens, field of view 63°. The almost straight track may be the trail of an 
earth satellite or of a meteor 
Colour Plate K. Orion, Aldebaran, and Sirius. Taken at about 9.20 p.m. on Colour p|ate L OH approaching ¡ts setting on March 25, 1962; taken at about 
January 21, 1963. Highspeed Ektachrome at f 2.2. Wide angle lens (63°). Exposed |0>|5 at Wahroonga near Sydney. Exposure about 4* minutes. Agfacolour at f/2 
for approximately is minutes

Colour Plate N . Spectra of various elements, showing how each element emits light only 
with certain characteristic frequencies or colour 
Colour Plate P. Selective absorption of light—showing how 
substances can absorb light of certain wavelengths but reflect 
other wavelengths 
Colour Plate O . How white light is split into its separate 
colours by means of a prism. This is called the dispersion of 
white light

Colour Plate Q. The dissection of a rat. A full description of the various organs is given in Chapters 8 and 28

Colour Plate R. The moon and 
Jupiter rising on June 23, 1962; photo­
graphed f rom the promenade at 
Balmoral Beach, near Sydney, 
looking east through the Heads of 
Sydney Harbour. First exposure at 
approximately 10.40 p.m.; ex­
posures separated by 10 minutes. 
Each exposure about 5 seconds. 
Kodachrome II at f/2. The sharp 
¡mage of the moon in the first ex­
posure shows its phase. Despite the 
flaring of the later images, it can be 
seen that in 70 minutes Jupiter has 
moved noticeably ahead of the 
moon. Jupiter on this date was 
itself moving slowly eastward 
against the star background 
Colour Plate S. Castor and Pollux, 
Capella, Beta and Theta Aurigae, 
Elnath. Taken on January 2, 1963, at 
Hornsby, near Sydney. Taken at 
about 9.25 p.m., and exposed for 
about 15 minutes. High Speed 
Ektachrome at f/2 
Colour Plate T . Venus, the moon 
and Procyon setting on June 6, 1962. 
The photograph was taken f rom 
Observatory H i l l , near the southern 
end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 
The camera was facing about 30° 
north of west. First exposure at 
about 6 p.m.; last at about 7.20 p.m. 
Kodachrome II at f/2.2; wide angle 
lens (68°). Each exposure approxim­
ately 10 seconds. The moon was 
about 4 days old; the movement of 
the moon in 10 seconds and over­
exposure of its bright disc, prevent 
the crescent f rom being sharply 
defined
