No attempt is made here to account for other Mallee publications 

 elsewhere, but it is hoped that a comprehensive work may some day be 

 prepared by Mr. A. S. Kenyon, C.E., without whose advice and assist- 

 ance, during association on our journey, I should have fared badly in 

 more ways than one. Further, I may add, scattered references may 

 be found in botanical notes on single plants by F. von Mueller, late 

 Q-bvernment Botanist ; J. Goudie, in his notes on the Coleoptera about 

 Birchip ; F. M. Reader, D. M'Alpine (Fungi), &c.

Diagram. 



Section of small salt lake, not to scale. The " Currant " is Exo- 

 carpus aphylla, and the Tea-tree Melaleuca pustulata. Quandong 

 is Fusanus acuminatus {Santalum. acuminatum). Some marshes 

 or small lakes have other dispositions of flora surrounding them. 

 One small dry bed had round the central baked mud a circle of 

 Salicornia australis (Bead-bush) of about 50 feet width, and outside 

 this a narrow encircling belt of Tea-tree. Bead-bush on dry land 

 is said to indicate water near the surface, and it is commonly an 

 inner circle round moist saline places.
