The chapters in this volume are largely papers presented at the symposium entitled "The care and handling of Australian native fauna" held by the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales in September 1986. They deal with the Australian native fauna most commonly given first-aid or kept in captivity, i.e., freshwater fish, frogs, reptiles, birds and mammals.
