The Eucalypts between Eremeraii and Mount Tinda are : — E. 

 tereticornis, var. dealbata (on granite^, E. popitJi folia, E. i7iter- 

 texta, E. Woollsiana, E. rostrata (on creeks only), E. oleosa, E. 

 duniosa and E. viridis. 



In coming from Bourke and following the route described in 

 these papers, Vermont Hill was the first place met with in which 

 wheat growing was being carried on to any extent, several 

 settlers here havin<r good areas under crop. 



Just south of Vermont Hill are miles of Mallee, extending 

 away south-westerly. The same scrub is met on Palisthan Holding, 

 and again between Mount Hope and Euabalong, quite 50 miles 

 away. I cannot sa}' that it is continuous, but such is probably 

 the case, as it has been met with wherever I have crossed that 

 belt of country. E. oleosa and E. dumosa predominate throughout. 



Mount Tinda is composed of granite and porphyry, and 

 covered chiefly with Eucalyptus tereticor^iis, var. dealbata, and 

 CalllU'is rohusta. I obtained here some interesting specimens of 

 felspar crystals (orthoclase). 



From Mount Tinda to Condobolin is about 40 miles south- 

 easterly. Copper and gold mining are being carried on at different 

 points along the route. Various trees and shrubs passed were: — 

 Geijera parvijiora, PittosiJorum phillyrceoides, Heterodendron 

 olecefolium, Apopyhyllum anomalum, Callitris rohusta. (all the 

 way), Bossicea sp., Triodia irritans, Myoporum deserti, Eremo- 

 phila Mitchelli, E. longifolia (getting scarce), Hahe.a leucop- 

 tera, Bertya Cunninghamii, Sferculia diversifolia, Lyonsia 

 eucalyptifolia, and CaJlitris verrucosa. After passing Mount 

 Nobby, where the formation is porphyry and slate, there were, 

 in addition to many of the former, Tecoma aust7'alis, Cassia 

 eremophiln, and Fusayius actwiinatus. After reaching the 

 Melrose road, at 24 miles from Condobolin, the following were 

 noted: — Eriostemon difformis, Hakea lencoptera, Myoporun deserti 

 (at 19 miles), Casuarina Camhagei (18 m.), C Luehmanni, Hakea 

 leucoptera (plentiful), (15 m.), Eccocarpus aphylla (7 m.), Geijera 

 parvijlora, Sterculia diversifolia, Eremophila Mitchelli (4 m.), 

 Casuarina quadrivalvis, and Canthiii^m oleifolium.
