bury College(C. T. Musson and W. M. Carne). This species is 

 frequently confused, and has been mixed up with E. pilosa; and, 

 like that species, is chiefly found in plantations and cultivation- 

 paddocks, and is useless as a fodder-plant. — E. interrnpta Beauv., 

 var. tennissima Stapf,(Syn. E. tenella Benth., Fl. Aust., vii., 643; 

 not Beauv.). South Australia: Oodnadatta(without collector's 

 name). West Australia : King George's Sound (W. W. 

 Froggatt); Mc Arthur River(A. G. Martin and W. V. Fitzgerald); 

 King River, Lennard River, Barnett River, Fitzroy River, Den- 

 ham River(W. V. Fitzgerald); Murchison District(C. Walter). 

 N. W. Australia (A. Crawford). Queensland (E. Palmer). 

 This was figured by Bailey, under the name of E. tenella, but 

 afterwards corrected (in his Queensland Flora, vi., p. 1903), and 

 mentioned as " a fine sheep pasture grass of the western districts 

 of Queensland." E. Palmer calls it "Swamp-Grass, Flinders and 

 Mitchell, poor fodder-grass." — E. plumosa Link,(Syn., E. tenella 

 Beauv.). There are specimens of this species from Funafuti(Mrs. 

 David and C. E. Finckh); Apia, Samoa(Dr. B. Funk); Jaluit, 

 Marshall Islands(E. Betche, and Dr. Schee); Fiji(F. Wernham); 

 and from Cook or "Tarawa" Island, Gilbert Group(F. R. Best), 

 but no specimen from Australia. - E. Dielsii Pilger, in Engler's 

 Bot. Jahrb., xxxv., 1907, p. 76. This includes E. falcata of 

 Bentham(Fl. Aust., vii., 649, but not of Gaud.). It is also 

 pointed out by Pilger(Zoc. cit.) that E. falcata Gaud., includes E. 

 lacunaria F.v.M. in Benth., Fl. Aust. — E. trachyearpa Domin, 

 in Fedde's Repert., 1912, (Syn., E. nigra Nees, var. trachyearpa 

 Benth.). Additional localities to those recorded in these Proceed-

 Browne). — Mr. Cheel showed, also, the fruit of the "Snake 

 Gourd" (Trichosanthes anguina Linn.), cultivated in the Botanic 

 Gardens, Sydney ; and examples of a creeping species of 

 Xanthium, probably X. catharticum H. B. & K., forwarded from 

 Jerilderie, by Mr. J. T. Mackie, through the Chief Inspector of 

 Stock; a weed which is capable of becoming perhaps a worse pest 

 than the " Bathurst Burr." Also a hybrid Callistemon seedling
