Gunn, Esq. 1833. (n. 368.) 
I regret that my notes on the Conifere of Tasmania, sent 
me by Mr. Gunn, if they ever reached my hands, have been 
mislaid, so that I am quite unable to give any of the remarks 
of that gentleman, which are frequently both full and va- 
luable as accompanying his highly prized specimens. I 
cannot even state the size of the trees, nor their exact 
locality. The present species of Arthrotaxis, as will be at 
once seen, comes near the 4. cupressoides (TAB. DLIX.), and is 
from the same country. It differs in the much stouter stems 
and branches, the differently shaped leaves, their dissimilar 
arrangement, the larger cones, and the acutely pointed anther- 
scales. )
