aberrant forms of allied specios. ïhat species badly requires revision, 

 and I sball be glad of the loan of doubtful spécimens to that end. 



i. Similar spécimens to those from New England, but with broadish 

 leaves, Mudgee, (A.-G. Hamilton.) Stunted Gum, on hüls near IMudgee 

 (W. Woolls). 



k. In tbc Dubbo district we bave spécimens with broadish leaves, 

 more or less glaucous, and near the type of E. dealbata A. Cimn. 



Sometimes the valves are vei-y long, showing resmiblance to E. oleosa 

 in that respect. Western forms of E. tereticornis often show a good deal 

 of resemblance to E. oleosa in texture and venation of leaves, in oper- 

 culum *V-c. 



Si)ecimens from 



Stuart Town. 



Minore, 



Dubbo to Peak Hill., 



Are all glaucous and in other respects représentative of variety 

 dealhata. 



l. Eremeran, Lachlan district (F. R. Kidston). Buds arranged in form 

 of a rosette or star, like those from Mt. Boppy and some other western 

 localities. M"" Kidston, a very experienced observer, labels it « Stunted 

 Gum, grows on stony ridges, allied to Mallee ». 



m. « Red Gum », Byrock (R. H. Cambage); the buds are arranged 

 in the form of a star. 



On igneous hill near Mt. Boppy, the most North Western locality 

 from which M"" Cambage has collected it. 



)i. « Red or Cabbage Gum », Narrabri (J. H. M.). 



0. Boggabri, very small fruits, smaller than those of the broad-leaved, 

 Swamp Gum referred to at p. 6 and Connecting with var. dealbata 

 (J. H. M.). 



p. W ^Y. Forsyth has collected this variety from the plains near 

 Baradine, and top of Nandi Hill, near Coonabarabran; also from a 

 number of other localities in the Warrumbungle Ranges. 



The spécimens of variety dealhata from the Warrumbungle Ranges 

 vary not a little amougst themselves. In some the leaves are short, the 

 fruits are sometimes nearly sessile, and others hâve the valves scarcely 

 exserted. One spécimen (found along creeks), has the fruits very similar 

 to E. rostrata, but the operculà are rather those of E. tereticornis. 

 Some of the fruits are pale brown and shining. 



The following spécimens show transit to variety dealhata.
