488 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Fletcher communicated the subjoined list of fifty-six 

 species of host-plants (38 indigenous, 18 exotic) for three species 

 of Loranthus — L. celastroides^ L. longiflorus, and L. miraculosus 

 Miq. (included under L. pendulus var. parviflorus in the * Flora 

 Australiensis "). These had been noted in a circumscribed and 

 limited area (comprising the neighbouring portions of the con- 

 tiguous Boroughs of Lane Cove, Hunter's Hill and Ryde), while 

 looking for examples of double parasitism of the kind first 

 recorded by the late Mr. James Backhouse {antea, p. 398).
