other, without intermingling. C. Citnninf/Jiamiana is the 

 species to which Barrallier refers where he mentions that 

 "three natives sat under the shade of a she-oak," (Historical 

 Records, v., p. 791). 



Sfi/jMiiii/ni 'jldiicd occvirs about half a mile above the Nat- 

 tai, on the old road ; and while, in September, many of the 

 plants were covered with the usual beautiful deep blue 

 flowers, three of the adjacent little bushes bore nothing but 

 pure milk-white blossoms.

From the junction of the Nattai and Wollondilly Rivers to 

 Yerranderie, is about 20 miles, the road following the valley 

 of the Wollondilly southerly for about halfway, after which 

 it turns westerly, and gradually ascends fairly open felsite- 

 country, thinly capped in places with Upper Marine forma- 

 tion, which on the north and west rises into high escarpments. 

 This open country is what Barrallier referred to, when he 

 reported forest-land beyond Nattai in 1802, and the Blue 

 Gum, Ironbark, and Apple Tree he mentions are Ei/r(il//pf ii.t 

 ferefirnntis, E. crehni, and A //(/ojjhora intermedia respec- 

 tively. 



The Kowmung River, which is 8 or 10 miles northwesterly 

 from Yerranderie, flows througn a deep L-iiion the depth of 

 which, from the mountain-tops, is from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. 

 The bed, which opposite Cedar Creek is about 1,000 feet 

 above sea-level, is in Silurian slate, upon which are super- 

 imposed Devonian quartzites ; and these are capped by Permo- 

 Carbouiferous sandstones and shales, which, some few miles 

 down the stream, are again covered by Hawkesbury Sand- 

 stone. The shelter and seclusion of this profound gorge, pro- 

 vide homes for both plants and birds not seen in the country 

 immediately to the southward. 



The plants m.entioned in the following list were found be- 

 tween Burragorang, Yerranderie, and the Kowmung River:
