582 NOTES ON THE NATIVE FLOEA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, viii., 



It occurs around Colong at an elevation of about 2,100 feet, 

 and also near Mount Werong. The genus Grevillea is only 

 sparsely represented in the coldest parts of Avistralia. 



Bindook Swamp. — Ensign Barrallier discovered Bindook 

 Swamp on the evening of 25th November, 1802, and, in his 

 journal, made the following entry: — "From a short distance 

 the swamp could be mistaken for a meadow, filled as it is with 

 reeds, which prevents the water with which it is well provided, 

 and which is very good, being seen. These reeds are similar 

 to those growing inland in Europe." 



The facies of this swampy land has been changed during 

 the last sixty years, owing to the number of stock constantly 

 browsing over it ; but the most conspicuous plants which go 

 to make up its flora, at present, are Bcackea Gunnianu about 

 5-7 feet high, Leptospermum lanigerum, Hakea microcarpa, 

 Hdeocharis sphacelata (only a little left), and Lepidosperma 

 concavum, a blady grass about four feet high. 



It seems probable that the reeds referred to by Barrallier 

 are Heleocharis sjjhacdata, as plants of this genus are widely 

 spread over the world ; but as most of the waterholes have 

 become filled, only a few of these reeds now remain at Bin- 

 dook, but in Colong Creek are plentiful in places. 



Total Eucalypts. — Between Camden and Burragorang, a 

 distance of about 22 miles, the total number of Eucalyptus 

 species noticed by the roadside amounts to 22, of which only 

 two occur in Tasmania, \iz.,E. Sieberiana and E\ Macarthuri, 

 the latter so far only known around Deloraine. 



From the Wollondilly Bridge, past The Peaks towards 

 Kowmung, in a distance of about 20 miles, 22 species were 

 again noted (including the doubtfully identified E . Wilkin- 

 soniana), nine of which are not mentioned in the first list, and 

 three of the total being found in Tasmania, viz., E . Sieberiana, E. 

 amy(jdaJina, and E. acervula. 



Between Colong and Mount Werong, a distance of about 

 25 miles, there were again 22 species noticed by the side of 

 the bridle-track, of which 10 are not recorded in the previous
