already described the Mudgee representatives of this genus, and 

 I look on my notes as the connecting link between the Mudgee 

 and Coast Floras. I was surprised to find E. ohliqua so far north, 

 as it has previously only been recorded from southern New South 

 "Wales, although it was recently found at the National Park hj 

 Mr. F. Williams. The shape of the fruit in the northern speci- 

 mens differs entirely from the southern form, as will be observed 

 in the notes under this species. 



Other Stringybarks dispersed throughout the district are E. 

 eiogenioides, E. niixcrorrhyncha, and E. capitellata. Three species 

 of Ironbarks were met with, but they were not plentiful. The 

 most valued timber is perhaps "Slaty Gum," E.polyanthema, var.; 

 glauci, var.nov.; and I consider it a distinct gain to the botany 

 of the Colony to have the correct botanical sequence of this 

 valuable tree made clear. E. albens, Miq., is a tree also valued 

 for its durable timber. E. globidus occurring at Nulla Mountain 

 is also worthy of note. 



My list of grasses is poor, as most of my specimens were lost 

 in transit. 



T have followed Bentham and Hooker's classification. 



I desire to tender my sincere thanks to Mr. J. Dawson, of 

 Henbury, Rylstone, Surveyor for the District, for his invitations 

 to, and hospitality in, his several camps, from which I was enabled 

 to reach without any expense what would otherwise have been 

 inaccessible country; and I must also mention his kindness in 

 placing at my disposal men, horses, and buggies in order to make 

 my collections complete. He himself is no mean collector, for I 

 am indebted to him for some valuable botanical material and 

 specimens. 



I must also acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Gr. Harris, of 

 Mount Vincent, near Ilford, for his kindness while staying at his 

 homestead during my visit to the district in 1893, for it was from 

 there I made my collections of the flora on the watershed of the 

 Turon and Capertee Rivers.
