barked one (obliqua). The discovery of the latter species in this 
part of the Colony was quite unexpected, and extends its northern 
range very considerably, The trees were over a hundred feet high 
and their trunks 3 feet and more in diameter, so that the trees 
are fine specimens and not the depauperate forms of mere outliers 
or pickets. One of my travelling companions (Mr. J. F. Campbell, 
L.8., of Walcha), stated that this belt of country extended for 30 
miles in a general direction of north and south, roughly following 
the county boundary, and he believed that this species occurred 
over the greater portion of that county. Mr. Nivison, of 
Yarrowitch, states it occurs at least as far north as the Clarence 
River, and also in Callaghan’s Swamp. Even taking the place at 
which I found it, reference to the previously recorded localities in 
New South Wales* show that it has been collected at Reidsdale 
in the Braidwood district, while its discovery in New England 
renders Mr. Rudder’s alleged discovery (/oc. cit.) of it in the Upper 
Williams district very probable. It would be interesting now to 
collect the species at points intermediate between Braidwood and 
New England. In the latter district it is sometimes known as 
messmate and bastard stringybark. At Yarrowitch it is known 
as white stringybark, and has been used for building purposes, 
e.g., verandah floors ; but it lacks durability in the ground. The 
sucker-foliage is very coarse. I have leaves 6 x 5inches. I cannot 
detect any difference between my specimens and those of Mr. 
Deane, from Reidsdale (Braidwood). 
E. eugenwoides, Sieb.—This species was first observed about 
Yarrowitch, the fruits being small and few in the head. Thence 
it was not uncommon in the Tia district, where it is known as 
“red stringybark” (a term more generally applied to /. capitellata), 
and used for timbering the mines at Tia, and also locally for 
flooring boards. This species shows a double operculum. 
Li. capitellata was not observed on the table-land, neither was 
EL. macrorrhyncha, though the latter was not rare on the Seaview 
Range. 
E. melliodora, A. Cunn.—A rather large-fruited form, with 
well-defined rim. First seen on the edge of the Tia Canyon, 
which it skirts for many miles; it does not descend the canyon. 
Thereafter the tree was sparingly seen until near Walcha. 
E. Stuartiana, F.v.M.—New England may be termed the 
Stuartiana country. L. Stwartiana I take as defined in the 
“ Kucalyptographia,” the description being modified from that 
given in the “ /lora australiensis.” I collected no less than four
