Lachlaii River, and this must be one of the locaHties where they 

 are found at their greatest elevation above sea-level. 



Eucalyptus agyreyata follows alluvial flats or damp places on 

 the tablelands, and is found in various localities south of Bathurst, 

 between Burraga and Oberon. It may also be seen from the 

 railway line on the flats near Wallerawang. There is ver}^ little 

 of it in the Orange district, but in addition to the above locality 

 on the Cadia road it is growing between the 6- and 7-mile posts 

 on the road from Orange to Forest Reefs, probably a continuation 

 of the same patch. It appears to grow in exactly similar situa- 

 tions to the Camden Woolly-butt {E. 2Iacarthuri, Deane and 

 Maiden), found in the Moss Vale district. It has a fairly rough 

 bark extending right up among the branches, in texture being 

 something between a flbrous and a flaky bark. At Hobby's 

 Yards, south of Newbridge, the tree is know^n as Woolly-butt, 

 while in the district south of Oberon it is often called Flooded 

 Gum from the fact that it follows near the banks of the creeks. 

 Still it is very distinct from the various Woolly-butts and Flooded 

 Gum of the coast districts. The leaves are fairly narrow, the 

 stem-sucker foliage being somewhat broader, but at the same 

 time not remarkably broad. The timber, which is pale and 

 rather light, does not seem to have any reputation for durability. 

 The flowers are numerous, the fruits small and clustered in a 

 manner which suggested the botanical name for the species. It is 

 recorded by the authors from around the Goulburn district, north 

 and south, but may possibly have a considerable range on the 

 tablelands of this State. 



Between Cadia and Mandurama the country, which is generally 

 clear, is of more geological than botanical interest. The rocks 

 are chiefly igneous, and amongst others is an interesting horn- 

 blende-andesite near Burnt Yards. The trees growing along the 

 roadside are '.—Eucalyi)tus viininalis^ E. Bridgesiana^ E. tereti- 

 cor7iis, E.inacror'hyncha, E. Cambagei, E. 'polyantheina^ E. melli- 

 odora, E. hemvphloia var. aJbens (which ceases 5 miles before 

 Mandurama is reached), E. dives, Casuarina Ciinninyhamimia, 

 Acacia diffusa, A. dealhata, and A. melanoxylon (?).
