perfections, I trust that it may be useful in assisting practical 

 men to determine the limits and characters of many species in 

 Eastern Australia, and to fix with some degree of certainty the 

 scientific names of the common Eucalypti around us. It is a 

 matter of regret to me that I am unable to illustrate my papers 

 with suitable engravings. They would undoubtedly be a great 

 ornament to the work, and afford to the general reader the means 

 of recognising some of the plants to which I have referred. The 

 expense, however, of such illustrations is very considerable, and 

 moreover, Dr. Mueller's "Lithograms of Victorian Plants," as 

 well as the beautiful figures accompanying his Fragmenta PJiyto- 

 graphicB Australia" have already made known to many of my 

 readers some of the most remarkable Australian Flowers.
