that it could not be cut into lengths for splitting, and. a shed has becu erected against it, the tree serving 

 for the back." Another tree, <at Emu Bay, supposed to be 250 feet high, was 55J feet round at 5 feet from 

 the ground, and nearly 70 feet in circunifi^rcncc at the surface of the ground. " My companions spoke to 

 each other, when at the ojiposite .side of this tree to myself, and their voices sounded so distant that I 

 concluded they had inadvertently left me, to see some other object, and immediately called to them. They 

 in answer, remarked the distant sound of my voice, and enquired if I were behind the tree." {Bot. Mag., 

 vol. 69, t. 4036, 1843.) 



Explanation of Plates (196-199). 



PLATE 19G. 



E. faniculala Sm. 



(Sec also riato 57, Part XIII.) 



la. Juvenile leaf; 1&, juvenile leaf (slightly more advanced); Ic, twig showing mature leaves and buds; 

 Id, immature fruits, showing staminal rings; le, fruits. Asquith, near Hornsby, between Sydney 

 and the Hawkesbury River (W. F. Blakely). 



2a. Buds; 26, anthers. On the main road, near Gordon Railway Station, North Shore Line, Sydney 

 (W. F. Blakely). 



3. Juvenile leaf, not in its earliest stage. Kedron, near Brisbane, Queensland (C. T. White). 



4. Mature leaves and fruits. Mount Gravatt, near Brisbane (C. T. White). 



5a. Mature leaf ; 56, buds ; 5c, fresh anthers. From the same set of specimens, some of the dried anthers 

 precisely match 26. Waterworks-road, Brisbane (J. L. Boorman). 



PLATE 197. 



E. faniculala Sm. 



(See also Plates 57, Part XIII, and 196.) 



E. Fergusoni R. T. Baker. 



la. Mature leaf; 16, mature leaf and immature buds; Ic, fruits, markedly ribbed. Bulladelah, N.S.W. 

 (L. C. Maxwell). The type. 



I match E. Fergusoni perfectly with specimens of E. iMniculaia. My attempts to separate 

 them have been most painstaking. 



E. Nanglei R. T. Baker. 



2a. Juvenile leaf ; 26, mature leaf and immature buds ; 2c, fruits. E. Naiighi has, like E. paniculaia, the 

 staminal ring, and in this respect shows some affinity to £. iiielliodora A. Cunn., E. sideroxyhn 

 A. Cunn. Morrissett, N.S.W. (0. F. Lascron). The type. 



33. Mature leaves and buds; 36, mature leaf, buds and expanding flowers; 3c, anthers, difierent views. 

 Lindfield and Nowra, a mixed parcel, as received from Mr. Baker. Lindfield is a railway station 

 on the North Shore Line, near Sydney ; Nowra is on the Shoalhaven River, about 94 miles south 

 of Sydney. (R. T. Baker and L. G. Irby). Co-types. 



I am not able to separate E. Naiighi from E. Fergusoni, nor either of them from 

 E. paniculata.
