it may be seen matured at 5-6 feet liiL;li. This species occurs on 

 the north-east coast of Tasmania, where it is known as Ironbark, 

 and from wliicli railway sleepers are cut for export, though in 

 New South Wales there are many very much better timber-trees.* 

 Near the ocean, at Scamander, it becomes dwarfed in a similar 

 manner to that noticed at Long Bay, near Sydne}', witliout, how- 

 I'ver, assuming a malice-like form in either case. 



Although E. viminalis was not seen betw(;cn Camden and 

 Colong, it is known to occur on the Nepean, both above and 

 below Camden. 



E. aggregata, a species with remarkably small, clustered fruits, 

 and slightly fibrous to flaky bark, is growing on the lower portion 

 of the Bindook SwamjD, which is one of its nearest points to the 

 coast. From the Orange-Wallerawang district in the north, to 

 the Upper Shoalhaven in the south, it occurs in open, somewhat 

 damp situations, with E. stellulata; but, so far, its range is not 

 known to extend beyond these limits, its j^lace on the Kybean 

 river in the south, where E. stellulata is plentiful, being taken 

 by E. pnrvifolia Cambage, a species with which it lias some 

 affinities. (For previous remarks, see these Proceedings, 1902, 

 p581). 



E./astigata, the lilackbutt of the Oberon-Jenolan Caves Road, 

 was noticed at Barrallier's Pass, near Colong, and at Mount 

 Werong. This tree is closely allied to, if not a form of, E. 

 regnans F.v.M., of Victoria and Tasmania.! E. fastigata has 

 rough, fibrous bark right up to, and often on the branches; while, 

 above 10 or 12 feet, the boles of E. regnans are usually smooth. 

 The fruits of E. fastigata a,re somewhat peax'-shaped, and generally 

 slightly domed; while those of E. regnans, as seen in Victoria and 

 different parts of Tasmania, appear to be constantly truncate. 

 These latter trees, in Tasmania, occupy more sheltered areas in 

 the brush-country than those usually selected by E./astigata in
