Extract

1. Before dealing with the question of mortality in Australia it will perhaps be well to indicate briefly what is meant by “Australia,” since the name is used with different significance in different cases. At an early stage of Australian history the name was restricted to the island continent itself, and what is now known as the Commonwealth of Australia was generally spoken of as Australia and Tasmania, in somewhat the same way as the homeland pair is spoken of as Great Britain and Ireland. With the advent of Federation, however, this mode of reference became less usual and has now practically disappeared.
