Following are some further New South Wales specimens also 

 examined by Bentham. They were exhibited by Macarthur at 

 the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 and London 1862. 



"Nos. 42 (London), 94 (Paris) ' Bangalay ' or 'Swamp 

 Mahogany ' of Brisbane Water. Diameter 30-36 inches. 

 Height 40-80 feet. A crooked-growing tree, the timber much 

 valued for knees and crooked timbers of coasting vessels." 



"No. 136. Sydney woods, Paris Exhibition, W. Macarthur, 

 1854." Its number in the London Exhibition Catal. was 43. 

 Sir William Macarthur called this " Swamp Mahogany " (a name 

 now reserved, as far as possible, for E. robusta) and stated that 

 the aboriginal name at the Illawarra is " Burram Murra." His 

 further note is :— " Diam. 36-60 inches, height 60-100 ft. A 

 useful timber for inside work, but not equal to the better sorts of 

 Eucalypti in strength- or durability." In bud and nearly ripe 

 fruit. Specimen in Herb. Kew, where I saw it. 



"No.244. Sydney woods, Paris Exhibition, W. Macarthur, 

 1 854, from Appin, 50-80 ft." In the Exhibition Catalogue Sir 

 William Macarthur gives the following additional information: — 

 "Name in Cumberland and Camden 'Grey Gum' and ' Maan- 

 dowie ' (aboriginal). Diameter 24-48 inches, height 60-1 00 ft. 

 An excellent gum timber." 



Bentham has marked this specimen E. hotryoides (?). It is in 

 bud only, is in Herb. Kew, where I examined it. 



Macarthur calls this " Grey Gum," a name never applied to E, 

 hotryoides, but sometimes applied to E. saligna. 



New South Wales. — Both E. salicj7ia and E. hotryoides are 

 common in the Sydney district. Southward from Milton, I have 

 no specimens of E. saligna other than with a rough bark. These 

 connect with the Victorian trees. 



The following notes in regard to New South Wales trees will 

 be suggestive. E. saligna is common on the northern tableland 

 extending from the Hunter to New England. It is to be found 

 at the foot of Mt. Lindsay, with rather small fruits and very 

 exserted valves (W. Forsyth). I have it also from the Macpherson
