GUlLER, E. R., 1982 (31 viii); Temporal and spatial distribution of the Tasmanian Devil, SaY'GophiZus haY'Y'isi (Dasyuridae: Marsupialia). Pap. PY'oc. R. Soc. Tasm.> 116: 153163. lSSN 0080-4703. Department of Zoology, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania. The Tasmanian devil SaY'cophi Zus haY'Y'iBi (Boi tard) , once widespread on continental Australia, probably became extinct there partly due to food competition with dingoes and, possibly, black man and their extinction may have been expedited by a dry climatic change before white mall's appearances. Recent reports of wild devils on the continent must be regarded as very doubtful. Devils now are widespread and numerous in Tasmania and have suffered at least one major population cycle since white occupation. The species appears to live we 11 in competition wi th man.
