a spur about eight miles north of Hotham, while the Buffalo 

 Mountains, which range from 4,500 to 5,600 feet, are about 

 twenty-five miles north-west of St. Bernard, and due west of 

 Bright. The Bogong Ranges, of which Mount Bogong (6,508 

 feet) is the highest peak and Victoria's highest mountain, lie 

 about twenty-five miles north-east of St. Bernard and sixteen 

 miles east of Bright. 



The articles to which I refer are : — (i) Mr. James Stirling, 

 " Notes on the Flora of Mount Hotham " [Vict. Nat., iv., 72, 

 Sept., 1887) ; (2) Mr. Chas. Walter, " A Trip to the Victorian 

 Alps" (Vict. Nat., xvi., p. 81, Sept., 1899); (3) Mr. J. H. 

 Maiden, F.L.S., " Some Notes of a Trip to the Victorian Alps " 

 {Vict. Nat., xvii., p. 43, July, 1900) ; (4) Mr. F. G. A. Barnard 

 and Dr. C. S. Sutton, " Among the Alpine Flowers " [Vict. Nat., 

 XX., 4, May, 1903) ; (5) Report of Field Naturalists' Club Camp- 

 out at Buffalo Mountains — " Botany," by Mr. G. Weindorfer, 

 to which is appended " A Visit to Mount Bogong," by the same 

 author {Vict. Nat., xx., 152 and 156, March, 1904). In addition 

 to the foregoing, Mr. Weindorfer contributed a paper entitled, 

 " Some Considerations of the Origin of the Alpine Flora " (Vict. 

 Nat., xxi., p. 6, May, 1904), and Mr. F. G. A. Barnard one entitled 

 " Some Early Botanical Explorations in Victoria " {Vict. Nat., 

 xxi., 17, June, 1904), both of which contain references to the 

 alpine flora. 



To the records of the above writers I have added the records 

 by Baron von Mueller in Bentham's " Flora Australiensis," 

 vols, i.-vii., and the results of the recent Herbarium trip, which 

 together should make a fairly complete census of at any rate 

 the more conspicuous species of our alpine plants. 



Those members who are interested in the flora of the more 

 elevated portions of Victoria will find further references in the 

 following papers published in the Club's journal : — Mr. E. O. 

 Thiele, "A Trip to Mount Wellington, Gippsland " {Vict. Nat., 

 xxii., p. 30, June, 1905) ; Mr. G. Weindorfer, *' A Trip to the 

 Grampians " {Vict. Nat., xxii., 45, July, 1905) ; Dr. C. S. Sutton, 

 "A Trip to Mount Baw-Baw " {Vict. Nat., xxii., 58, August, 

 1905) ; and the same author, " A Botanist at Mount Buller " 

 {Vict. Nat., xxiii., 175, February, 1907). 



The detailed study of the alpine floras of Victoria is a subject 

 of considerable interest, and in this connection mention may 

 be made of certain records of distribution made by Mr. A. G. 

 Campbell in his paper, " Rambles in the Grampians," recently 

 published in the Victorian Naturalist, vol. xxvii,, June, 1910. 

 On p. 33,* Banksia integrifolia, L., is quoted as occurring at 



* Eucalyptus capitella. Smith, should, of course, be E. capitellata, Sm. , and 

 Dicksonia Billardicra, F. v, M., should be D. Billardieii, F. v. M. {D. 

 antarctica).
