 The collection numbers 250 species, and compares not unfavour- 

 ably with the joint results of Giles and Gosse in their several 

 expeditions to this region. Nevertheless, the whole collection is 

 somewhat disappointing, and adds but scantily to the records of 

 the Australian flora. This is all the more to be regretted, as the 

 season of 1889 was exceptionally favourable, and the part of the 

 region traversed was a novel one for botanical research. Much 

 of the material has been gathered without due discrimination as 

 to flower and fruit, and consequently much time has been lost in 

 the determination of the species, otherwise we might have had a 

 much larger array of species. 



The collection is characteristic of the Eremian Region, and the 

 high land of the MacDonnell Range does not seem to possess any 

 other type of vegetation, though it offers several specific dif- 

 ferences, and some few generic, as compared with the low level 

 tracts which stretch southward from its base. 



The following species are new to the Australian flora : — 

 Eriostemon argyreus, n. sp. ; Sida podopetala, n. sp. ; Calotis 

 latiuscula, 7i. sp.; Goodenia fascicularis, n. sp.; Ipomoea race- 

 migera, n. sp. ; Teucrium grandiusculum, n. s]?. ; Eremophila 

 Tietkensii, n. sp. ; and Eriocaulon graj^hitimum, n. sp. 



The following species are additional records to the Flora of 

 Extra-tropical South Australia"^ : — 



Hybanthus miniatus, F. v. M. 



Phyllanthus minutiflorus, F. v. M. Extends from Port Darwin to 

 the Upper Victoria River. 



* Melaleuca Leueadendron, Limie, which is widely distributed in the 

 northern parts of the continent, extending to the Indian Archipelagos and 

 Malayan Peninsula, has been received from between Eyre's Creek and 

 Hergott.— F. v. M.
