COERESPONDENCE. 



Early Flowering of Native Plants. 

 I think it would make these columns more interesting if readers 

 of the Naturalist would forward notes of the early flowering of our 

 native plants, or early appearances of insects, or other similar notes 

 on Natural History subjects. In connection with the above, whilst 

 rambling along the banks of the Mullum Mullum Creek, Warran- 

 dyte, on July loth, I came upon two fine young trees of the Silver 

 Wattle Acacia dealbata just bursting into blossom. Corbea.
