TO HIS EXCELLENCY FREDERICK ALOYSIUS WELD, ESQ., C.M.G., GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA, LATE GOVERNOR AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of WESTERN AUSTRALIA. MY DEAR GOVERNOR WELD, It was during your administration of the Government of Western Australia, and chiefly owing to your zeal and support, that most of the work of exploration described in this volume was undertaken and carried out. Your encouragement revived the love of exploration which had almost died out in our colony before you arrived. With gratitude and pleasure I ask you to accept the dedication of this volume as an expression of my appreciation of your kindness and support. Yours very faithfully, JOHN FORREST.
