Other trees and shrubs noted towards Wyangle were Hihhertia 

 linearis, BiLVsaria spiriosa, Sterculia diver si/olia, Pomaderris sp., 

 Acacia implexa, A. melanoxylon, A. dealbata, A. pi-avissima^F.v.M.., 

 Leptospermuin scoparium, Banksia marginata, Casuarina quadri- 

 valvis, Exocarpus cupressiforinis, and Xamthorrhcea sp. (Grass 

 Tree). 



Between Tumut and Gundagai the country is naturally an open 

 forest, much of which has been cleared, consequently the flora is 

 very sparse. Among the species seen from the coach were : — 

 Eucalyptus rostrata, E. Bridgesiana, E. melliodora, E. macror- 

 rhyncha, E. hemiphloia var. albens, E. polyanthemos, E. Camhagei, 

 E. tereticornis, Xarithorrhosa sp., Sterculia diver sifolia, Bursaria 

 spinosa, Wahlenhergia gracilisy and Casuarina Cunning hamiana 

 (River Oak). 



The last-mentioned species was found only on the Murrum- 

 bidgee at Gundagai (though is probably on unobserved portions 

 of the Tumut River as well), and although near the town most of 

 the trees have been destroyed, it may be seen lining both banks 

 of the river a few miles up stream. This species is common along 

 the upper portions of most of our rivers, growing close to the 

 water's edge, thereby outlining the course of the stream, 

 and while its roots serve to preserve the banks from erosion 

 during floods, its conspicuous dark green foliage contributes 

 materially towards the general beauty of the landscape. 



The complete list of Eucalypts seen between Wagga, Tumba- 

 rumba, and Tumut gives a total of twenty-one, viz.: — E. rostrata. 

 E. melliodora, E. Woollsiana, E. hemiphloia var. albens, E. Bridges- 

 iana, E. polyanthemos, E. tereticornis and var. dealbata, E. 

 niacrorrhyncha, E. Cambagei, E. hcemastoma var. micrantha, E. 

 sideroxylon, E. camphora, E. rubida, E. coriacea, E. artiygdalina, 

 E. maculosa, E. stellulata, E. dives, E. globuhts, E. delegatensis, 

 and E. p)ulverulenta. - 



I have to acknowledge assistance from Mr. J. H. Maiden, F.L.S., 

 in identifying some of the plants mentioned.
