tory of the colony of South Australia, one hundred 
and forty-six in that of Victoria, sixty-six in Tasma- 
nia, three hundred and eighty - five in New South 
Wales, not less than five hundred and twenty-six 
in Queensland, two hundred and twelve in North 
Australia, and twenty-nine in Central Australia. To 
the number of the Tasmanian and Victorian trees fu- 
ture observers will add but little. The list of those 
from western Australia and south Australia is cer- 
tain to receive additions by further discoveries in the 
interior, but probably the increase will nut be exten- 
sive. About twenty - five trees from New South 
Wales, known to exist, could not be recorded, the 
corresponding material in our museum admitting of 
no accurate examination. The cedar brushes, more- 
over, as well as the interior, are likely to yield still a 
limited number of hitherto unknown trees to future 
search. Queensland and North Australia are through- 
out the littoral and jungle tracts as yet imperfectly 
. explored, and we yet expect to derive from these 
hundreds of additional trees, many of which doubtless 
will be of special interest and value both to the phy- 
tographer and the artisan. Central Australia, accord- 
ing to the narrower or wider limitation we may arbi- 
trarily assign to it, is likely to furnish a considerable 
number of new trees, while others will be traced in 
that direction ; but probably no new kinds of any great 
dimensions will be found. The construction of tabu- 
lated lists of trees indigenous to other parts of the 
globe would serve manifold useful comparisons ; as 
yet none of those of Europe even are extant. It is 
contemplated to construct for all those trees which are 
not already provided with vernacular names free of
