Abstract
SUMMARY (1) The Agrostological Index of William Hartley provided a measure of the agronomic potential of an area, based on the number of native species recorded from the major grass tribes. Adequate computing facilities for applying the index were not then available, and it has been neglected. (2) In this paper the index is applied to the fifteen Pastoral Districts of Queensland (N.E. Australia); we show that it is an effective tool for the definition of agronomic regions, and has predictive properties. (3) The approach could prove valuable on a world scale.
