Eruits with very sharp rim ; little doming-, or a concavity rather than a 

 convexity, Cootamiindra to Grenfoll (Dist. Torester Arthur Oshoruc) ; Weddin, 

 near Young, normal (J.H.M.) 



Borenore, near Forhes (H. Dcane) with fruits similar to those from Coota- 

 niundra, &c., and which resemble those of var. (?) hr achy cor ijs. 



Western Localities. — Hassan's Walls, Bowenfels (J.II.M.) ; Capertee and 

 Sunny Corner, with remarkably angular rim to fruits (J.II.M. and J. L. Boorman). 

 These specimens, as far as leaves and fruits are concerned, are close to var. (?) 

 hr achy cor ys, but the buds are those of the New England form. 



Rylstone (E. T. Baker) ; Mudgee (W. Woolls). Eruits rather smaller tiian 

 the type. 



A coarse grandillora form with the fruits f inch in diameter, the rim very 

 prominent and urceolate in shape, was collected by E. T. Baker at Mt. A^inceut, also 

 at Eylstone. (Fig. 19, pi. 39.) 



Berth, found only in the llanges around Apsley ; small stunted trees used for 

 props in the mines adjacent (J. L. Boorman). 



" Eed Stringybark," buds swollen like those of B. stellulnta, Canoblas, 

 Orange ; ditto (A. W. Ilowitt), with rim of fruit as sharp as seen in var. (?) 

 hrachycorys, Ophir, Orange (E. H. Cambage) ; Wellington (A. Mur2)hy). 



Near top of Mt. Bulaway, Warrumbunglo Eanges, at 3,000 feet (W. Forsyth). 

 Tlie angularity of the rim in these fruits is nearly obliterated, and the pedicels are 

 very short. The opercula are p)oiuted, but far less sharp than those of normal 

 macrorrhynclii usually are. That this tree is a strong connecting link between 

 Tl. capitellata and JE. mncrorrhyncha is unquestionable. A form with normal fruits 

 is also found in the Warrumbungle Eanges (W. Forsyth). 



Minore, near Dubbo, perhaps the most westerly locality in this herbarium 

 (J. L. Boorman). ]3uds less angular than the type. 



Harvey Eange, near Dubbo (J. L. Boorman). Small crooked trees of 15-20 

 feet. Leaves very thick and shiny, and with veins well marked. In some trees the 

 fruits hemispherical and much resembling those of var. (?) hrachycorys. In others, 

 the fruits hardly to be distinguished from those of E. tereticoruis, Sm. 



The Meadows, Dubbo district ; used for fencing-posts and charcoal (Assistant 

 Forester A. E. Samuels). The buds remarkably like those of E. rostrata, so much 

 so, that a word of caution is necessary. This is not an unusual thing in Western 

 forms, but the anthers and the venation of the leaves are very different. 



Northern Localities. — But it is as we travel north, farthest away from the 

 home of the type, that the aberrant forms become most plentiful. The doming of 

 the rim is usually a very good guide in this species, but sometimes this character is 

 not well defined, and the rim must then be interpreted with caution.
