that of noi-inal resinifera. The transition is as aV)solute in regard 

 to venation as it is in regard to fruits or opercula. The long 

 operculum of the variety is equalled and even exceeded by some 

 specimens belonging to normal resinifera. The specimens from 

 the Richmond to the Hawkesbury are absolutely identical, the 

 Illawarra and Parramatta River specimens exhibiting a little 

 difference from Mr. Baker's figure, as already indicated. 



The fruits of this variety occasionally show twinning, which is 

 unusual in Eucalypts. We have specimens from normal re.sinifcra 

 from the Sydney district which also show twinning, and in shape 

 are simply reduced models of those in Mr. Baker's figure. 



Mr. Rudder's Bungwall specimens were sent to one of us in 

 1894, and our re-examination of the plant, and correspondence 

 with Mr. Rudder at the time, convinced us that it could not be 

 separated from E. resinifera. The Rev. Dr. Woolls labelled 

 similar specimens from Mr. Rudder E. resinifera, var. These 

 specimens from Mr. Rudder and Mr. Bauerlen's Ballina specimens 

 are Mr. Baker's types of E. jmtentinervis.

We offer some notes on this species, which is undoubtedly \evy 

 close to E. resinifera 



1. — Normal or small-fruited form. 



This is one of the species on which one does not often observe 

 young suckers. The leaves are ovate and the stems quadrangular 

 in the young state. 



Following are some notes on E. punctata, but although we have 

 endeavoured to classify them into three forms for convenience 

 there is no real difference between them, as they are all easily 

 run into each other : — 



(a). Operculum intermediate between blunt form and the 

 typical resinifera. Fruits hemispherical to sub-cylindrical, 

 diameter 3 or 4 lines; valves exserted. Rim between calyx and 

 operculum often forming a sharply defined edge.
