formed us that he has a plant of E. pruinosa with stem-nodules, 

 in his bush-house, raised from seed, which he collected in Tropical

West Australia. — A pot-plant of E. macrocarpa (PI. x., fig. 6) 

 which died: we are indebted to Mr. A. G. Hamilton for this 

 specimen. We have seen a flourishing pot-plant of E. ficifolia, 

 with two pairs of stem-nodulesj but were unable to see how it 

 compares with the two Blood woods referred to above, in respect 

 of the presence of an impaired nodule. 



New Zealand. — In reply to a request, addressed to a friend 

 in New Zealand, for information about Eucalypt seedlings raised 

 from seed there, we were kindly supplied with five, representing 

 as many species, from the nursery of T. Horton, Ltd., at Hast- 

 ings or Pahiatua, we are not quite sure which. They are seed- 

 lings, from 10-18 inches high, of species that we had not pre- 

 viously seen. Three are labelled E. Gunnii, E. glohulns. and E. 

 Stuartiana. The first has two pairs of stem-nodules: the first 

 pair nearly fused, and both have shoots; the stem was broken off 

 just above the second pair. The second, though it is the largest 

 seedling of the lot, has only one pair, unfused. The third has 

 the first pair only, fused on one side. The fourth is wrongly 

 labelled E. coriacea, as the leaf-characters are different from 

 those of specimens of this species, from two localities, given to 

 us by Mr. Cambage. This has the first pair veiy large and 

 warty, not completely fused; one of the second pair very small; 

 and a third pair, very small, and unequal in size. The fifth is 

 labelled " Ked-flowering Gum,"' with an unfamiliar botanical 

 name that we cannot trace in any list of Eucalypts, known to 

 us. This has the first pair large, but not fused, one with two 

 shoots; a second pair, very small, one with a shoot; and the 

 third pair still smaller. 



Th^se are the first and only seedlings with stem-nodules from 

 outside Australia that we have seen; or that we know of, except 

 Mr. Clayton Smith's Californian specimens, already mentioned. 

 The interesting thing about them is, that they show substantially 

 what we are accustomed to see in Australian specimens. We 

 have not seen any Tasmanian seedlings, but we shall expect to 

 hear that seedlings of E. globulus in Tasmania are liable. We
