through the glaucousness and the shape of the sucker leaves of 

 the latter. A specimen of E. globulus, probably collected by 

 Verreaux, and labelled " E. pulverulenta, Tasmanie, No. 85, ex 

 herbario Mussei Parisiensis, 1844," in herb. Barbey-Boissier, is 

 additional evidence of the confusion between these two species that 

 formerly existed. 



Range. 



Eucalyptus pulverulenta, Sims, in its typical form occurs in 

 New South Wales in the southern mountainous country from about 

 Tumut to Berrima, and thence westerly to the Bathurst district. 

 Its precise range is not yet defined. 



North from these places, e.g., in New England and Southern 

 Queensland (we have yet to learn the intermediate localities 

 between Berrima or Bathurst and New England), and south into 

 Victoria the species is diffused; but as we proceed further from 

 the type localities the leaves become more or less lanceolar. It 

 does not appear that E. pulverulenta has yet been found in 

 Tasmania, though it should be searched for. 



New South Wales (typical form).— In July, 1891, the late 

 Rev. Dr. Woolls showed manna from E. pulverulenta to this 

 Society from Buckley's Crossing, Snowy River. Not only was 

 this the first record of manna on the species, but the most 

 southerly definite record of the species. A few years ago, 

 on the information of Mr. Augustus Hooke of Tia, I gathered a 

 large quantity from the lanceolate-leaved form of New England. 



Tumut (E. Betche and W. W. Froggatt), Lake George, Argyle 

 County (Backhouse), Goulburn, Wingello, Barber's Creek, &c., 

 where it is known as Peppermint. Berrima "Argyle Apple" 

 (Woolls). It is sometimes known as ."Silver-leaved Stringybark." 

 Here is an abundance of small stunted shrubs (as well as small 

 trees) of this species which would be readily taken for E. 

 Stuartiana in that (shrubby) stage. In fact the resemblance of 

 the young growth of the species is remarkable.
