(only near Wj^along), E. melliodora (scarce), E. tereticornis 

 (Forest Red Gum), E. conica (scarce), E. WooUsiana, E. sider- 

 oxi//o)i, and E. tereticornis var. dealbata. 



The first three Eucalypts mentioned are Mallees, but a few 

 trees of E. dumosa were noticed about 50 feet high and a foot in 

 diameter. After passing Barmedman no more Mallee was seen, 

 but it is to be found extending away to the south-west. Though 

 it is very plentiful just at Wj'-along, it may be said that between 

 the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers it is not common east of a 

 line joining Condobolin, Wyalong, Temora and Wagga, and does 

 not come up to this line except in places. 



E. conica was last seen at a few miles south of Wyalong, and 

 this is probably one of its most southern points in this locality. 



E. populifolia was not noticed south of the Wyalong district, 

 but from this point northwards it is one of the commonest trees 

 in the interior. Although usually known as Bimble Box, I was 

 informed that away to the westward of Wyalong it bears the 

 name of Mint}^ Box, but as I did not visit the locality indicated 

 I cannot be certain of the species. E. populifolia is the Box tree 

 which usually produces such a number of seedlings after the land 

 has been ringbarked, and in this respect is a considerable source 

 of annoyance to the landowner. 



From Barmedman to Temora is south-easterly about 20 miles, 

 and various trees and shrubs noticed along the roadside were : — 

 Heterodendron olecf^folium, Myoporum deserti, CaHitris calcarata, 

 C. robusta, Casuarina Luehmanni, Cpaludosa, Sieb. (?), Dodoncea 

 viscosa, Exocarpus cupres si/or mis, Cassinia Theodori, F.v.M., 

 (Sifting Bush), Eusamcs acwminatus, Cassia ereinop>hila, Caly- 

 thrix tetragona, Hihbertia stricta, R.Br., Brachyloma daphnoides, 

 Pimelea linifolia, Sm., Eremophila longifolia (very scarce), 

 Sterculia diversi/olia, and Indigofera australis, Wild. On a ridge 

 just west of Barmedman a species of Olearia was found, but so 

 far not identified. 



The tree mentioned as Casuarina paludosa (1) is found in 

 various parts of Central New South Wales, but chiefly to the 

 eastward of the route followed in these papers. It is doubtful
