488 EUCAIiYPTS OF THE COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND, 



from Port Stephen are very fine, they measnre twenty-one lines 

 long, breadth fourteen lines. Erom Lake Macquarie, fifteen lines 

 long, ten lines broad. Sydney Heads, largest specimens eleven 

 lines long, six lines broad ; smallest specimens five lines long, 

 three lines broad. 



I quote Mr. Eeeve's remarks on his so called species. ''This 

 shell may be chiefly distinguished from Cardium Bonacifonne to 

 which it is in many respects allied by the contracted flexuous

 popularly termed " Stringy Barks," for, though they differ in the 

 size and shape of the leaves, the configuration of the fruit, and 

 the comparative value of their wood, yet they all agree pretty

 very recently, the specific name of oUiqua was applied to all the 

 forms of Stringy Bark, and it is very remarkable that Mr- 

 Bentham, although he knew nothing of the trees excei^ting from 

 dried specimens and the notes of the collectors, saw that they all
