the Gippsland blacks. See Vict. Nat., Vol. 28, No. 4, P. R. H. 

 St.John. There are several specimens of this species in the National 

 Herbarium from Victorian localities. 



Eucalyptus regnans, F. v. M. — This tree was originally described by 

 Mueller (Rep. Acclimatisation Soc, Vict., p. 20, 1870), from Victorian 

 material, and is a good species. It is also found to occur in Tasmania. 

 Gullies around Yarra Junction District. (R. T. B.) E. fastigata, of 

 Deane and Maiden, is quite a distinct tree from the above, although 

 considered by Maiden to be synonymous with this species (Crit. Rev. 

 Gen. Euc, Vol. I., p. 185). There is a specimen in the National Her- 

 barium from the Dandenong Ranges, but no collector's name. 



Eucalyptus delegatensis, R. T. B. — From the kiaowledge now 

 possessed of this species, there can be no doubt that Howitt's variety 

 (b) of E. Sieberiaua {loc. cit.) is this species. The altitudes he gives 

 of its occurrence agree with those from which it is still obtained. 

 Mr. P. R. H. St. John records it from Mt. Donnabuang, 45 miles from 

 Melbourne (Vict. Nat., May, 1912). 



Eucalyptus Sieheriana, F. v. M. — The trees known as " Mountain. 

 Ash " or more generally as " Silvertop," in many parts of Gippsland, 

 are this species (see under E. phlebophylla). 



Eucalyptus virgata, Sieb. — This is mentioned tentatively, although 

 I have little doubt but that it will eventually be found in Victoria. 

 So far it has been recorded from the Blue Mountains, New South 

 Wales, and recently in Tasmania, so that it remains now to be ascer- 

 tained whether some of the trees considered to be E. Sieberiana are 

 really not this species, for it is most feasible that trees exist between 

 the two localities (supra). Great care is required to differentiate the 

 species morphologically ; chemically the differences are most marked. 



Howitt, in an official report (unpublished), J. H. M. (Grit. Rev. 

 Euc, Voir I., p. 308), states "the rough-barked Mountain Ash of 

 Gippsland is known also by the names of Gum-top, Silver-top, Bastard 

 Iron-bark." In all probability the latter names include E. virgata, 

 for it is called " Ironbark " in Tasmania. 



Eucalyptus ohliqua, L'Her. — This is nearly always known as 

 " Messmate " in Victoria and " Stringybark " in Tasmania and New 

 South Wales. Widely distributed. 



Eucalyptus coriacea, A. Cunn.— This species should stand, as it, 

 no doubt, occurs in the Gippsland and north-eastern ranges towards the 

 New South Wales border, and in all probability E. phlebophylla occurs 

 in the State, as it is often confounded with it. 



Eucalyptus stellulata, Sieber. — This is probably identical with the 

 original tree of Sieber, although others having an affinity with it have 

 recently been described, viz. : — E. Moorei, by Maiden (Proc. Linn. 

 Soc, N.S.W., 1905), and E. Laseroni, by R. T. Baker (Proc. Linn. Soc, 

 N.S.W., 1912).
