the fruits are only half the size of those of the eastern species. 

 The oils also are quite different. 



Bentham (B.Fl. iii. p. 214) acknowledges Cunningham's species 

 E. bicolor, and places as its synonyms E. pendula, A. Cunn., 

 and E. largiflorens, F.v.M , but he, of course, only had dried 

 material to work upon. However, there can be no doubt now 

 that Cunningham was correct in his determinations, and in the 

 light of our present knowledge it is proposed in future to 

 acknowledge both his species, E. bicolor and E. pendula, and in 

 the latter case his name takes priority over Mueller's name of 

 E. largiflorens. 



The localities for the two species are :— 



E. bicolor, A. Cunn. — Cabramatta (Rev. W. Woolls); banks 

 of South Creek (R. T. Baker and W. Bauerlen). 



E. pendula, A. Cunn., (Syn. E. largiflorens, F.v.M.)— Dubbo 

 to Bourke (W. Bauerlen) ; Lachlan River, Condobolin (R. H. 

 Cambage). 



Eucalyptus Bridgesiana, Baker. — The most westerly locality 

 I have now to record for E. Bridgesiana, Baker, is Mulwala, 

 where it grows in the Forest Reserve No. 1591 (G. Wyburd). 



Since publishing my description of this species in the Society's 

 Proceedings for 1898, Messrs. Deane and Maiden continue to 

 refer it in their series of " Notes on Euoalypts " to-£\ Stuartiana, 

 F.v.M. These authors state that " the figure of E. Stuartiana 

 in the ' Eucalyptographia ' is one of the happiest of the delinea- 

 tions of that work, and is simply unmistakaole " (Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. N.S.W., 1899, p. 628). With all deference to the late 

 learned Baron, it must be said that his description refers to a 

 Victorian tree with a red timber and with a red stringy bark. 

 Specimens of these have been obtained from Victoria, and can 

 be seen in the Technological Museum, Sydney, where they are 

 placed in juxtaposition to those of E. Bridgesiana of this colony, 

 which has a white, woolly, persistent bark, and which bark yields 

 an oil (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1898, p. 166), while the timber is
