516 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS, II. 



Note added, 20:xii. :'05. — Mr. J. L. Boorman has since 

 brought me specimens of this species from Peak Hill, roughly- 

 halfway between Dubbo and Parkes. He calls it "the Red 

 Ironbark" of the district, and says it is now scarce because of the 

 run on it for sleepers. The fruits are rather less pyriform (more 

 flat- topped) than those of the type, but they are different in 

 shape from those of E. siderophloia, also found in the Dubbo 

 district, while the broad juvenile foliage leaves sharply separate 

 it from E. sideroxylon, a third Ironbark also found in the 

 district. The range of the species is thus considerably extended.
