Folio wiap; arc some southern localities :— Twofold Bay (Oklfield) ; Mogo, 

 near Moruya (W. Biluerlen) ; Currawang and Nelligen (W. Biluerlen) ; Conjola 

 (W. Heron) ; Jervis Bay (J.H.M.) ; Otford (J.H.M.). 



Eollowing are New South Wales localities north of Sydney :—"Stringybark," 

 St. Albans (A. Murphy), very small fruits ; and near Booral (A. Budder) ; Mount 

 Seaview (J.H.M.) ; Macleay Biver, near coast (W. Macdouald). 



A " Stringybark/' Attunga, near Tamworth, growing on a hill of Serpentine 

 formation (B. H. Camliage), has domed fruits and resembles both E. maerorrhyncha 

 and E. eiigenioides. 



Moonambah (W. Biluerlen). 



The northern New South Wales and Queensland forms are, as indicated at 



page 41, intermediate in character between typical E. i^llidaris and its variety 



Muelleriana.

" Benarora (?) Blackbutt, at the sandstone ranges towards Beroa." 

 " Turru Turru, a kind of stringybark, but not yellow." 

 The above are copies of labels in Leichhardt's handwriting. The specimens 

 are in leaf only, but referable, I believe, to E. pilularis.

 Following is Howitt's original account of the range of his E. Mtielleriana : — 



This eucalypt has an extensive range in the western half of Gippsland. It is a littoral species, 

 and is principally found between the Hoddle Ranges and the sea coast. There it forms the bulk of the 

 forest, growing ujion sands and sandy clays, from the Monkey Creek, 20 miles from Sale, to Shady Creek, 

 west of Alberton in an east and west direction, and from Currajung southwards to the coast. The area 

 thus covered by this tree is about 300 square miles. It also occurs in lesser colonies on the ridges extending 

 from Tertiary tracts up to the high ranges forming the spurs of the mountains. I have not observed it 

 west of Toongabbie, where it ascends the hills of Upper Silurian sediment for about 6 miles northwards 

 to a 1,000 feet in elevation. I have also seen it growing extensively on the hills across which the road- 

 known as the Insolvent Track, runs from the Stockyard to Cobannah Creek. The formations here are 

 Upper Devonian, resting on sediments which may be either Devonian or Upper Silurian. Its range north 

 and south in this locality is at least 25 miles, and its highest elevation probably over 1,200 feet. J have 

 noted a third locality where this tree occurs under precisely similar conditions, extending northwards on 

 the spurs of the mountains skirted by the Tambo Valley Road. There it grows for several miles on th(> 

 Silurian sediments, northwards from the edge of the Tertiary Marine beds, and reaches an elevation of at 

 least 1,000 feet. I have little doubt that it will be found in the intervening localities, and perhaps further 

 to the eastward, but of this I have no direct evidence. — (7Vans. Boy. Soc. Vict., 1890). 



On another occasion he said : — 



It appears to grow to tlie largest size on the sands and sandy clays of South Gippsland, where it 

 forms most valuaV)le f<ircsts.
