Valley. (Transactions of the Royal Society of South 



Australia. Vol. XXVI. Part 1. Issued June, 1902. 



p. 7-9.) 



The author considers that two birds, the Acanthiza and Ptilotus 

 sonora are the agents in the distribution of Loranthus exocarpns and 

 L, pendulns. The former does not actually eat the bernes, but it 

 frequently builds its nest on the hanging branches of the Loranthus, 

 whilst the latter was frequently observed eating the ripe berries of L. 

 pendulns. Further the parasite was generally found to be absent from 

 districts, in which the birds in question were wanting. The Acanthiza 

 was actually seen transferring the seed to a very favourable Situation, 

 on Santalum lanceolatum. F. E. Fritsch.

These notes form contributions to the knowledge of the overlap 

 (from district Sand W) of the Vegetation in the valley in question, which lies 

 within the District N of Prof. Täte. The frequency of the overlap seems 

 to demand a southward extension of S (to Goyder's line). A number 

 of sporadic forms are shown to occur and the probable agencies to which 

 their appearance is due are discussed (wind, birds, sheep, etc.). A 

 number of plants from the Adelaide district are found, which are in some 

 cases probably the result of human agency, but in others are thought to 

 indicate a time when the climatic conditions differed and the Euronotian 

 region extended up the Flinders Range. F. E. Fritsch. 



MAIDEN, J. H., n Eucalyptus Behriana, F. v. M. (Transactions 



of the Royal Society of South Australia. Vol. XXVI. Part I. 



Issued June, 1902. p. 10—15.) 



In the first place the author discriminates between Eucalyptus 

 Behriana, F. v. M. and a small fruited form of E. hemiphloia, F. v. M. 

 (var. microcarpa, Maiden = var. parviflora) which closely resemble one
