South Australia. 



The co-types eame from the Marble Range and Murray Scrub, in this State. 

 " Red Malice " {E. oleosa) is widely diffused in South Australia. 



I have seen it from the following localities : — 



Port Lincoln (W. Gill), also with rounded operculum from the same locality 

 (W. Gill) ; Point Kirton, Port Lincoln, the fruit sometimes with the tips of the 

 valves not exsert (J.H.M.) ; Parilla Forest Reserve, between Port Lincoln and the 

 Marble Range (W. Gill). 



The above localities are practically those of the co-type. 



" Red Mallee," about one mile S.W. of Mannum, near the River Murray 

 (W. Gill) ; Murray Scrub (J. M. Black) ; Murray Bridge (R. H. Cambage and 

 J.H.M). 



The type of E. socialls, F.v.M. comes from " versus fluv. Murray " (Mueller) ; 

 Dublin Scrub (J. M. Black) ; Desert, Tintinarra (R. H. Cambage). 



The above localities are pra^ctically those of the second co-type. 



Flinders Range (No. 670, Max Koch) ; Flinders Range near Quorn (No. 

 532, Max Koch) ; Flinders Range, Mount Remarkable (W. Gill) ; " Red Mallee " 

 Nackara Forest (W. Gill) ; near Rose worthy Agricultural College (W. Gill, A. J. 

 Perkins) ; Pinuaroo (W. Gill) ; Crystal Brook, the southern point of Flinders 

 Range (W. Gill). 



Cape Jervis (J.H.M.) with opercula of intermediate length. 



Venus Harbour, also Murat and Denial Bays, also Fowler's Bay (all Dr. 

 R. S. Rogers). In both the two last localities with opercula not very long. Streaky 

 Bay (H. Deane). 



At page 118 (Part IV, vol. i) of this work I referred to a specimen in bud 

 only collected by Robert Brown at " Bay iii," and I doubtfully attributed it to a 

 form between E.fcecimda and iiicrassata. 



" Bay iii " is Fowler's Bay,* South Australia, and the specimen referred to 

 is undoubtedly E. oleosa, F.v.M. I may mention that I collected specimens the 

 very image of Robert Bi'own's from " Bay iii " at Cape Jervis, near Kangaroo 

 Island, in January, 1907, and I have since ascertained that buds like these are 

 common enough on the South Australian coast. 



Following have large fruits : — 



" Water Mallee." Sandhills east of Ooldea, and also at Ooldea, north of 

 Fowler's I5ay. Transcontinental Railway Survey (between South and Western 

 Australia) (H. Deane). 



Following has small fruits : — 



"Peeneri" (native name) Mallee, waterbearing, i.e., the roots, if cut into 

 portions and drained, yield drinking water. Sandhills east of Ooldea. Mr. Deane 



* See p. 107 of my " Sir Joseph Banks ; the Father of Australia " (1909), where is a list of the places at which 

 Robert Brown touched and collected.
