Valves. — The valves are sometimes exserted in the broad- 

 rimmed forms. We have fruits from Sydney, Kempsey and 

 Tenterfield which show this well. 



Mange. — Extending into Queensland on the north and to 

 Moruya on the south, from the coast up the slopes and spurs of 

 the Dividing Range to the Table Land, but apparently not found 

 more than about 100 miles from the coast and scarcely ci'ossing 

 on to the western slope at any place. 



We have specimens from the National Park, 20 miles south of 

 Sydney, collected by Mr. Julius Camfield, with the inflorescence 

 in a dense raceme and the fruits large and ovoid, showing, in the 

 latter x'espect, an approximation to E. inperita. The operculum 

 is not as long as tliat of E. pilidaris usually is, and the filaments 

 are white although they have been collected for a considerable 

 period. These specimens afford additional evidence of the 

 variability of E. pilularis. 



In northern New England there is a form of E. pilularis the 

 fruits of which are likely to be confused with those of the local 

 Stringybark (a large-fruited E. euyenioides verging toward E. 

 capiteUata). In the latter, however, they are more depressed, 

 have the rim less flat and the valves less prominent, while the 

 buds are angular.

There are two forms: — {a) The typical one. (b) A stout and 

 coarse one which occurs at no great distance from the sea. 



Vernaodar names. — " White Mahogany," but often erroneously 

 called " Stringybark " because of the similarit}^ in appearance of 

 this species (particularly when young) to Stringybark. 



Bark. — Fibrous, not unlike Stringybark in smallish trees; but 

 more like Tallow wood bark (E. microcorys) in large trees. The 

 branches are covered as well as the trunk. We would draw 

 attention to the absence of kino in this species. Though we have 

 been on the lookout for it for many years, we have never found 

 a piece much larger than a pin head.
