    The diet and helminth parasites of foxes, dingoes and feral dogs in Victoria
    Coman, Brian J ( 1973)
    This thesis was prepared while the author was employed with the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at the Keith Turnbull Research Station, Frankston. It is in the form of three papers which describe the experimental work and a review of pertinent literature. The literature review outlines the extent of previous knowledge on the subjects of fox diet and fox parasites (helminth) in Australia. A short review of selected overseas studies is included. The experimental work deals with the incidence of various food items and helminth parasites in the gastro-intestinal tracts of foxes, dingoes and feral dogs collected in Victoria during the period from 1968 to 1970. The paper dealing with dingoes and feral dogs has been published (Aust. vet. J., 1972, 48 : 456-461) and the remaining papers have been submitted for publication. All funds for this research project were supplied by the Australian Meat Research Committee.

    Effects of some management factors on sheep and wool production
    Cannon, D. J ( 1970)
    It is difficult to be precise about the importance of the contributions made by the many people involved in this work. On a government research station and on private farms, field experiments inevitably involve many people. However, in each chapter presented in this thesis I made a major contribution in the planning, supervising and conducting of the experiment and in preparation of the results for publication. Where authorship has been shared, this is indicated at the beginning of each chapter. Some indication of the relative importance of contributions to this work is as follows:- Chapter I: The experiments were done on two sites, and at one of them Katamitite) I was directly responsible for the work. Chapters II, III: This work undertaken jointly with Mr. J.G. Bath, Chapters IV, V: This work was my responsibility. Chapter VI: The observations on sheep were my responsibility whereas those on pastures were the responsibility of Mr. J. Avery and Mr. I. Cameron. I prepared the manuscripts for chapters I to V and contributed to the preparation of that for chapter VI.
