of C. rohusta with clean barrels are generally recognised in the 

 Dubbo district as White Pine, while those with branches on 

 their stems, and which are probably younger and sounder, are 

 cut in the sawmills under the name of Red Pine. 



From Dubbo to Gilgandra is a distance northerly of about 40 

 miles, and the following Eucalypts were seen from the train : — 

 E. meUiodora, E. conica. E. her^iiphloia, var. albens, E. Woollsiana, 

 E. rostrata, E. fopulifolia^ Hook., (Grey or Shiny-leaved or 

 Bimble Box), E. crehra, E. sideroxylon, E. viridis, E. dumoso, 

 A. Cunn., (White Mallee), and E. tereticornis. 



E. 'populifolia is an inland species, seldom coming so far east 

 as the western slopes, excepting in the north of this State, and 

 its eastern margin roughly coincides with the western edge of E. 

 hemijyhloia, var, albens, though in many places they overlap, 

 while in others there are spaces from which both species are 

 absent {vide these Proceedings, 1901, p. 331). 



E. viridis and E. dumosa formed a Mallee scrub at about 15 

 miles from Dubbo, and in this locality were many interesting 

 shrubs, some of which could not be identified from the train. 



Various trees and shrubs noticed near the railway line were: —
