Summary

The Southern science record and magazine of natural history was published by Joseph Wing, a registered printer from the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood and member of the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria. It was published in monthly parts for three volumes (1881 - 1883) and in a new series of four monthly issues in volume 1 (January - April 1885) and volume 2, no. 1 (January 1886). The introduction to the first issue stated its purpose as being to provide for those "who, whether pursuing science as a profession or as a labor of love, are yet hindered in their progress by the want of some communication with others whose studies are similar to their own" and to report faithfully on the proceedings of scientific societies in the Australian colonies. It foundered largely in consequence of the decision of the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria to commence publication of its own journal, The Victorian naturalist, from 1884.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
