Forms intermediate between E. pellita and E. resinifera. 



They are figured on Plate 125 (figures 4-10) and Plate 126 (figures 1-3). 

 Comparison of them with the figures of E. resinifera, Plate 124, and E. pellita, Plates 

 126 and 127, will show that they possess affinities to both species and particularly to 

 the latter. 



These forms are confined to New South Wales so far as we know at present, 

 and I will divide them into Coast Districts and Blue Mountains. Like E. pellita, these 

 intermediate forms require the increased attention of observers. 



Southern Coastal Districts. — Buds with rugose opercula, not smooth as in E. 

 resinifera, and buds and fruits varying from intermediate to large and very large in size 

 (see figures). 



Largish fruits. Currawang Creek, South Coast Road (W. Baeuerlen). 



" Mahogany," Termed (R. H. Cambage). 



Blunt to pointed opercula, short stalks, sessile fruits. On sandy soil, Milton 

 (R. H. Cambage). 



Conjola, prominent band to fruit (W. Heron). 



Bundanoon (W. Greenwood). 



Top of Barrengarry Mountain (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). (The two last 

 localities are just on the tableland.) 



Northern Coastal Districts. — Very large fruits, blunt to pointed buds, nearly 

 sessile to long stalks. Manly Swamps, just north of Sydney (Rev. Dr. Woolls, A. A. 

 Hamilton). 



5-6 feet high, yet flowering freely (see figure 10, Plate 125). Bark fibre hip. 

 On the driest, hungriest, wind-swept sandstone at the Trig. Station, 374 feet. First 

 Point, Kincumber (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). 



The following specimens are practically the same as those from Manly Swamps :— 



" Mountain Mahogany," Hogan's Brush (W. A. W. de Beuzeville); Narara 

 (D. Coull). 



Very large, shiny, handsome fruits, conical buds, overlapping opercula. Wyong 

 (J. L. Boor man). 



' ; Bastard Mahogany," Bungwahl (A. Rudder). 



Blue Mountains. — The following have small or intermediate fruits with rugose 

 opercula. 



Lower Kurrajong, one of the lower slopes to the Blue Mountains (J.H.M.). 



Glenbrook. Fruits slightly stalked, calyx tube with a "aised ridge (J.H.M.). 



Lapstone Hill to Bpringwood. Fruits sessile to hardly stalked (R. H. Cambage 



and J.H.M.).
