at one time. The Native Bear is, on the South coast, often vulgarly known as 

 "Monkey.' Cathcart (H. Deane) ; near Montgomery's saw-mill, Tantawanglo 

 Mountain (H. Deane and J.^.M.) ; Grey Gum, Buckley's Springs, 15 miles east of 

 Bombala (A. W. Howitt) ; Tumbarumba (T. H. Williams). 



" Mountain Gum," smooth bark, Reidsdale, near Braidwood (H. Deane) ; 

 " Mountain Gum," height 160 feet, diameter 3 feet. Sugar Loaf Mountain, Monga, 

 near Braidwood (J. S. Allan, W. Baeuerlen) ; " Mountain Gum," Major's Creek (W. 

 Bound) ; " Grey Gum," Benandra (J. S. Allan). 



"Yellow Gum," the largest trees of the district, 40-80 feet high, the bark 

 of a ribbony nature, the yellow patches are prominent, whence the bark peels 

 oif ; the older bark is of a greyish colour, and reminds one of that of E. punctata. 

 Prominent midrib of a yellow colour, tips of branches yellow. Wood yellowish 

 when fresh, and with age turns to the colour of Tallow- wood {E. microcorys). Sides 

 of gullies on good, rich land, Nye's Hill, Wingello (J. L. Boorman).

 known as Mountain Ash. Valves exsert. Head of the Valley of Waters, Went- 

 worth Falls ( W. Forsyth). 



Kanimbla Valley, Hartley to Lowther, also old road to Hartley Valley from

Jenolan Caves (W. F. Blakeley ; J.H.M.). Mount Wilson. A Gum, with 

 fruits smaller than the type, almost spreading orifice, with valves well exsert and 

 long pedicel (Jesse Gregson and J.H.M.). 



North. — Black soil. Upper Meroo, Mudgee district (A. Murphy). 



Bark ribbony. Valves of fruits exsert, hardly to be distinguished from certain 

 Blue Mountains trees. Nundle, Hanging Rock (J. L. Boorman). Material some- 

 what incomplete in both these northern specimens. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. inerassata, LabilL, var. dumosa. 



"Very near in flowers to some forms of E. dumosa, but with a very different 

 foliage," (-B. Ft. iii, 230). I only note this because it is a suggestion of Bentham. 

 If Plate 16, Part IV, of this work be turned to, it will be seen that the affinity is not 

 close. E. goniocalyx has not corrugated opercula. E. goniocalyx is a large tree 

 found in the coast and mountain districts, in localities where var. dumosa, which is 

 a shrub, or very small tree, is never found.
