These 73 additions to the census raise the total number o[ 

 species (phanerogams and pteridophytes only) to 460. Those 

 strictly Australasian number 316 — 68.5 % ; those ranging also 

 outside 144 — nearly 31.5 %, and occurring also in New Zealand 

 120 — over 26 %. 40J species are common to four or a greater 

 number of States — 88 %, leaving only 54 with a more restricted 

 distribution, and of these only 5, or just over i %, are endemic 

 to Victoria. The latter include Mesembryanthemum iegens, 

 Prasophylliim Frenchii and P. Dixoni. The tally of terrestrial 

 orchids is now 66 (if Pterostylis prcecox is considered a variety 

 of P. reflexa) out of a total of 88 for the State — 75 % ; and 

 Gastrodia and Drakaa are the only genera unrepresented. 



It is interesting to note that 11 s]:)ecies among 37 mentioned 

 by Dr. Cockayne as being characteristic of the northern heath 

 of New Zealand also occur in the Sandringham district. In the 

 census Spergnlaria rubra, Presl., should be 5. rubra, Cambess., 

 and Sea Lime-grass should read Sea Lyme-grass. 



As confirming the opinion already expressed that the 

 Sandringham formation probably extended to Hawthorn and
