Tingha to Guyia, 19 miles from the latter place (J.U.M. and J. L. Boorman). 

 Juvenile leaves intermediate. Mature leaves broadish. Fruits (from same tree) 

 flat-rimmed, domed ; valves exsert and sunk ; hemispherical and inclined to be 

 sub-cylindrical. 



I place this specimen under E. eugenioides, and it certainly seems to form a 

 connecting link between the Tingha specimens and the supposed hybrid which 

 follows. 



Between Tingha and Guyra, 19 miles from the latter (J. L. Boorman). 

 •' Stringybark," medium-sized trees growing in swampy ground in company with that 

 of E. stelhdata and E. nova-anglica. An interesting form ; leaves broad, thickish. 

 None of the fruits Avitli cxserted valves, which is unusual in northerii specimens. 

 I am of opinion that here we have a hybrid between E. eugenioides and E. stellulata. 



Fruits in heads, slightly constricted, valves sunk. Tent Hill (E. C. Andrews). 



Small fruits in heads, valves not exsert, Styx River (A. W. Howitt). I have 

 other specimens from the same locality showing close affinity to E. Mnelleriana. 



"VValcha (J. F. Campbell). Fruits rather exsert, and rim inclined to be 

 domed. Shows affinity to E. macrorrhyncha. Ascending New England from Port 

 Macquarie, this species Avas first observed about Yarrowitch. Tiicncc it was not 

 uncommon in the Tia district, Avhere it is knoAvn as " lied Stringybark," and used 

 for timbering the mines at Tia, and also locally for flooring-boards. This species 

 shows a double operculum (J.H.M.). 



Tenterfleld to Sandy Flat (J.H.M.) — Fruits very similar to those of Sydney, 

 e.g., Concord Park (believed to be typical), hemispherical, and somcAvhat exserted 

 valves. Buds very compressed, almost like copitellata. I figured this (Plate 4, 

 Part I) as E. Muellerianci, and I noAv put it under E. eugenioides with doubt. It 

 certainly is a transit form, 



Drake to Richmond River (A. Hagman) ; Drake (E. C. AndrcAvs), with rim 

 of fruit rather sharp and valves exsert (transit to E. Mnelleriana). 



Foot of Mt. Lindsay (W. Forsyth) ; Moonambah, Richmond Ptiver (W. 

 Baeuerlen) ; valves slightly exsert. 



Queensland. 



Nerang, near TAveed Heads (F. M. Bailey). Small fruits Avith sharp rim, 

 valves rather prominent. 



" Stringybark." Yellow inner bark. See fig. IG, pi, 38, Stanthorpe (J. L. 

 Boorman). A eugenioides-Muelleriana form. 



" YelloAV Stringybark," Landsborough, North Coast Railway (P. MacMahon). 

 A pale-coloured timbei', Avith stains of bright yellow running through it.
